The sweetest hosts!
We stayed here for three nights and it was fantastic. The hosts were so helpful. Even though their English was as good as our Italian they answered every question and WhatsApp and were there whenever we needed them including arriving really late. It couldn't be in a better location on the main street of Catania. The price is great value. It's not five star luxury. But it was five star service. It's really subtle to find on the street a small sign next to a big green door. I can't fault our stay here. Bruno and Daniella were the best. Would happily stay here again.

Fantastic hotel
We loved this hotel! Right on the main street of Catania, within walking distance of the sights. The room was huge with everything we needed, and breakfast was provided in a cafe a few minutes walk away. The people in the hotel were helpful and friendly. Our flight didn’t arrive until early hours of the morning, we called ahead and the guy was waiting for us. Would highly recommend this hotel!

We used this property for an event we hosted - lots of back and forth with the owner with some concern about the security of our reservation. In the end it worked out...it’s in a good location (Main Street Catania) and is clean and livable.

Felt at home
Albatro Rooms is efficiently run by Antonio, the manager, and Daniela, the house-keeper. Don’t be put off by the outside gate; beyond the entrance door, Albatro Rooms offers comfortable, spacious and clean rooms, and above all a very friendly atmosphere which made me feel at home. Despite their humble rating (2 stars), my room had air-con, television and a fridge and a lovely balcony overlooking via Etnea. There’s also a vending machine that sells amazing café machiato for only €0,50. If they manage to solve the internet problem (it drops far too often) and the fact that breakfast is served at a very unfriendly café (MrLino) near their premises, I can’t see why they could not become a 3* B&B.

Very helpful and friendly owner of b&b
The most important thing about this bed and breakfast was that is was really central in the middle of shops and restaurants etc... The owner was so helpful. He helped us with the luggage and the shopping every day. He showed us where to go and even came with us to show us where it is safe to park. I felt very safe.

Good, but needs some areas looking at
Arrived here after a long drive, no one was in to answer door. I called the number advised and unfortunately lack of language skills each way, I don't know much Italian and the recipient knew little English was a problem, he kept putting the phone down. The owner finally arrived and showed us where to park, he was very attentive making sure we knew how to work the air con and TV. It was a room looking over the main street, very good location, did seem to be a lot of mosquitoes about, we got bitten something terrible, maybe a mesh curtain over the front window could help? The breakfast at the cafe across the street was nice, a pastry and a coffee included in b and b price. The cleaning lady was funny, she was very pleasant, but she just spoke at us, with us not knowing what she was saying.. We must of looked none the wiser, but still she spoke! My main issue was that lack of communication at when we were expected to arrive via email (use google translate) the owner should make sure someone is there to greet us. I think a bit of fine tuning this place can build on a good foundation.

Il titolare della struttura è stato accogliente e disponibile anche se siamo arrivati dopo il check in. La struttura è dotata di comodissimi letti, un frigo piccolo, un balcone che si affaccia sulla via principale e dotato di un bagno indipendente situato in camera e accessibile anche per disabili. Per essere una quadrupla si stava comodi su tutto. la collaboratrice puliva tutte le mattine la stanza.La colazione si consumava al bar vicino.La struttura si trova in perfetto centro, non c'è bisogno di prendere l'auto per andare in centro, e si trova vicino ad una fermata di pullman. Alle spalle si trova un grandissimo parco. L'unico inconveniente era il parcheggio...sono tutti a pagamento

Не могу порекомендовать это место размещения
Хотя месторасположение неплохое: рядом парк и в двух шагах остановка автобуса до аэропорта, проблем было много для одного дня пребывания. Сначала не работал вай-фай. Пришлось переехать в другой номер, где он работал и плохого запаха в номере уже не было. Почему-то стала мигать лампочка, ее поменяли. На утро не смогли мне выдать квитанцию об оплате городского налога и просто отдали мне 1 евро обратно. Утром дали адрес кафе, где должен был пройти завтрак, я пришел туда, а кафе оказалось закрыто. Отвели в другое кафе, завтрак в итоге был стакан молока и пироженое. Ну и языковой барьер даже если вы более-менее владеете английским. На картинках выглядело лучше, чем ощущения по приезду.

Prima, informeel, prettig hotel
Hotel was niet eenvoudig te vinden achter een oude metalen deur. Eigenaar spreekt alleen Italiaans en derhalve was de aankomst wat ingewikkeld 's avonds laat. Daarna prima contact gehad met eigenaar en dame die hotel schoon houdt etc. Danielle is haar naam. Erg prettig en informeel hotel aan drukke straat in Catania met weinig parkeerplaatsen, die onbezet zijn; dus alles te voet gedaan, hetgeen prima te doen is naar centrum Catania. Bij een eventueel volgend verblijf in Catania zouden we weer naar dit hotel gaan. Eigenaar helpt bij naar boven en beneden brengen van bagage via trappen.
