It's the place where to stay in Catania if you wanna meet people from all over the world, definitely the hostel in which is really easy to meet other people becouse the common areas are nice and everywhere, the staff is amazing and funny. If I have to say something that could be improved, are the bathrooms a bit old and luck of any activities but for rest is really good 10/10 for the breakfast

Piero (hostelsclub)
edifico antico rimodernato con stile giovane e accattivante. la posizione è ottima e ci sono ampli spazi condivisi. La camera era pulita e spaziosa. L'unica pecca:la colazione; a Catania sarebbe bello ricevere una colazione come da buona tradizione sicula!!!
Sara Francesca (hostelsclub)
Il locale è abbastanza carino, ottimo posizione! (in centro e vicinissimo al duomo. ) Il hostel ha un ristorante e una terrazza per fare aperitivo. Ristorante è buonissimo e sulla terrazza si vede pure Etna da lontano.
DONGYU (hostelsclub)
Best location, very central! Staff ist nice and helpful at all times. Make sure you don't miss the great view (especially at sunset/night) from the roof terrace of this hostel!!!!!!!
Carola (hostelsclub)
Spazioso, colorato, bellissima la terrazza panoramica, e soprattutto estremamente gentile e accogliente lo staff, che ci ha fornito tra l'altro ottimi consigli gastronomici...
Frederica (hostelsclub)
In questo ostello abbiamo trovato un'ottima accoglienza sentendoci subito a casa. Lo staff, gli ambienti e le persone che abbiamo incontrato ci hanno fatto apprezzare ancora di più le bellezze di Catania. Un grazie quindi per la perfetta ospitalità, e arrivederci a presto

Our stay at the Elefanti was great! The staff are so friendly and helpful and the facilities are beautiful. The location is very central and we had a very favorable experience. The blankets provided were not that thick and towels cost extra, but for the value the accommodations were very decent. I also highly recommend eating dinner at the restaurant in the hostel, I had some of the best pasta I've ever tasted there.
Chrysanna (hostelsclub)
Posto bello, posizione perfetta per brevi permanenze a Catania, visto che è nella zona più centrale che si possa immaginare, staff gentilissimo e disponibile, e poi usano Ubuntu nei loro computer!
Andrea (hostelsclub)
Tutto ok l' unica cosa che nella stanza ho trovato un cattivissimo odore, che schifo...
Per il resto personale ottimo, sala e bagni ok...
Giuseppe (hostelsclub)
Centrally located in an amazing 1600`s building and with a supportive staff.
Rafael (hostelsclub)
Camera privata molto grande e bella, prezzo raccomandato per uso singolo. Anche dormitorio donne molto spazioso e letti molto comodi. Nei bagni acqua bella calda senza dover aspettare. Piccola colazione al mattino con, tra l'altro, latte e frutta. Posizione imbattibile a 2 min. dal Duomo.
Manuela (hostelsclub)
nel bagno femminile ci vorrebbe più privacy
isabella (hostelsclub)
Best hostel I have stayed at in a while- location, cleanliness and staff friendliness all top notch, and at a very reasonable price. Thanks!!
Kim (hostelsclub)
Ottimo ostello! staff molto cordiale e simpatico.
La posizione nel centro è fantastica!
Lo consiglio vivamente!!
Roberta (hostelsclub)
Good place to stay if you need A bed right in the city centre. Staff was helpfull. Showers were comfy but A bit small. Beds are fine, had A good night sleep. Every bed has its own curtain for privacy.
Martine (hostelsclub)
Wonderful palaxe and position, with a fantastic terrace on a central square with the Etna on the on the orizon. Bathrooms could be much better though. Anyway, very nice place.
Raffaele (hostelsclub)
Ottimo ostello, cordiali, simpatici e disponibili i gestori. Un ottimo approdo per chi si sposta.
alessandra (hostelsclub)
The location is ideal, right in the heart of Catania, staff are helpful and friendly, and the rooms have frescoes on the ceilings. I would definitely recommend!
Joseph (hostelsclub)
L'ostello è eccellente e dove ho trovatole persone più simpatiche. Lo consiglio a tutte le persone che vanno a Catania per conoscere la città.
Karine Ines (hostelsclub)
We had a really nice stay in Catania. The staff was super friendly. The rooms are quiet big, the common room is very beautiful and they also have a fantastic roof terrace. Unfortunately, they don't have a kitchen but restaurant instead!
Lisa (hostelsclub)
Nice hostel in a pretty cool location. It's very central but therefore also a bit noisy. I had some trouble finding it.
I would definitely go again!
Juliane (hostelsclub)
I can't recommend Ostello degli Elefanti and Catania enough. I've never stayed in a Hostel before so I was a little unsure what to expect. The staff, the cleanliness and the location are all perfect to experience the beautiful city of Catania and the Sicilian culture.
Jamie (hostelsclub)
This hostel was great in every way I remember. I genuinely enjoyed my stay.
Gabriel (hostelsclub)
The curtains around the beds in the dormitory will render the hostel a bad name. Several persons cannot go into mixed dormitories unless these are very big and thus have social controll. (Saloon and dormitory can be changed in the Elefanti hostel)
