I can’t rate the place itself because we never did find it, even using GPS. Finally gave up & grabbed a room elsewhere. It might be a nice place to stay, but it is hard to find & if GPS is to be believed, you’ll be hauling your luggage on foot a good bit.

Don't be put off by the outside of the building, once you've climbed nearly 60 stairs the door opens on a very nice sunny terrace where breakfast was served. The staff were pleasant and helpful, our room was spacious with plenty of storage. We had to share a bathroom down the corridor but it was clean and not a problem for one or two nights. Some of the surrounding streets looked pretty run down but we soon realised that everywhere in Catania is covered in graffiti so the area was probably not as bad as we feared. It's only a five minute walk from the duomo and the main sights.

The room location was great. Clean room and premises. The owner was accommodating of checkin and also let me store my bags for hours after check out. My only complaint is wifi was very very slow. As a solo traveler that is one of the necessities and it was a little disappointing on that aspect.

A fine place to start our Sicilia journey....
This was a wonderful choice for our first night in Sicilia. Michele and his wife were gracious hosts, the Bnb was in an excellent location, the bed comfortable, the room quiet, and the breakfast on the terrace delightful. The one help we would offer is that Piccadilly House is located on Piazza Vincenzo Bellini, almost directly across from the Teatro Massimo, Catania's Opera House. Knowing that might help you avoid the confusion we had in finding it. Otherwise, highly recommended, and we would stay there again without a doubt if we were ever to revisit Catania. And whatever you do there, try to get to the fish market. It was easily the highlight of our stay!

Not a reliable lodging, no staffing in low season
After reading the positive reviews, we booked this place for one night layover in Catania. I sent 2 emails days before arrival to notify them about the arrival time ( 7 PM), but got no replies. The day of arrival, we arrived ( 7:00 PM) in a large old empty apartment bld with door shot and no way to get in. We needed to borrow phone from the bar next door to call the proprietor, who appeared 30 minutes later. She was pleasant but not apologetic for being late. She obliged when we asked her to book a taxi to airport for next day. The airport drop off offered by the BnB ( 10 Euro) was not available cause the driver "had a flu". After returning from dinner, we found a note left in our room ( she is long gone), stating that we need to have our breakfast in the neighboring cafe cause the "cafe machine is not working". Next day morning at the cafe, we were old that we were entitled to one drink and on pastry only, we will need to pay any extra. The worst part, the taxi never showed up and since no staff around, we can not call for help. Luckily, a tax was dropping a passenger near by, he took us to airport for 28.00 euro. We almost miss the flight.

Highly recommended, a group of friends from the UK
After a long journey around the mainland of Italy, we flew to Catania. Staying at the Piccadilly house was an amazing experience! very friendly staff who looked after us very well in an area where english is not very commonly used. rooms were comfortable and bathroom was large and clean. we woke up late and thought we had missed the breakfast, but they still provided us with a hot and tasty breakfast.

Convenient and Super Clean hotel
The room was very spacious and the bathroom was super huge. Room was absolutely clean and fresh. The property is within walking distance to the center without the noise of the center. We walked everywhere. Breakfast started a bit later than we are used to but in all it was a great stay.

Good location for small price
The B&B is in a very good location and the couple that run the place are very helpful. Their English is good enough to get most things understood. The room are on the 3rd floor, but they will help bring up heavy luggage (if asked). The bed is comfortable. My room was quiet. I did have to wait for the shared bath .. just a small inconvenience. The location is about 5 minute walk from the airport bus and approx. 10 min from the Duomo and other sightseeing spots. They did request cash payment for the room, but they told me this the night before so I was prepared. Breakfast is fairly standard for Italy (juice, coffee, croissant, roll w/butter & jam – plus slices orange). They said they would have breakfast on the terrace but it ended up being in the kitchen. I didn’t use the wifi, but it is free. It is a good choice for a short visit to Catania.

Great service!
The family that owns this B&B are sweet,and their service and breakfasts were both excellent. They arranged a cab from the airport, gave us a quiet room in an area with a bustling nightlife (not always easy), and answered all our questions. Their English isn't great, but it's good enough to be understood. And the price was certainly right too. I'd definitely recommend Piccadilly House to other travelers.

Nice B&B and great location
We spent 3 nights there. Staff is very friendly and helpful, breakfast is very nice and the room was spacious and clean. The B&B is well located but not noisy. The only thing was the wifi which wasn't great and TV didn't work well but it was a good excuse to disconnect anyway. Would highly recommend the place!

Great hotel. We stayed in the en suite room. Large bedroom and bathroom which was nice and clean. Breakfast was good. The hotel is in a good location in Piazzo Vincenzo Bellini. Easy walking distance to all the major sites and the railway station. Owners were very helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended and would definitely stay here again.
