"Property was very modern in the heart of town, yet tucked away in a quaint historic building. Bed was comfortable and the room amenities well thought out.
We walked everywhere and the location was perfect for the historic sites.
Definitely would revisit this stay."
"We had a wonderful stay at Bastio Private Suites. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The room was fantastic for a family. Great breakfast - my kids loved the range and the granita in particular! Great location as well."
"This was a wonderful place to stay! Thank you to Alberto for being very nice and friendly! I highly recommend you stay here when you come to Catania! "
"Wonderful staff, beautiful breakfast and lovely property. The rooms are well appointed and of a good size. One shelf in the bathroom would be very handy if it could be installed under the vanity as the counter was very small. Loved this property!!!"
"A lovely little hotel with a great vibe — not just in a top location, but also with comfy rooms and a tasty, well-balanced breakfast. We’d totally recommend it!"
"Staff is excellent, location is perfect. Room was very clean with all of the little extras that make a hotel experience memorable (toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a welcome bottle of champagne, two free water bottles)."

"Everyone was super friendly, breakfast was great, super clean and was right in the city center. Overall a wonderful stay! "
"This was a wonderful place to stay! Thank you to Alberto for being very nice and friendly! I highly recommend you stay here when you come to Catania! "
"This property is conveniently situated within walking distance of major monuments and restaurants. The accommodation was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The room featured modern decor and provided ample storage space. Bed linens and towels were fresh and hygienic. Located on the fifth floor, the property requires a special key to operate the elevator, which will be waiting for you in the room upstairs. This arrangement may pose some inconvenience on the first day, particularly if guests have substantial luggage to carry upstairs. Another potential drawback is the property's location on a street that hosts a daily market. The area is often crowded and noisy; while this did not pose an issue for me, it is worth noting that after the market closes, the streets become heavily littered and appear to be inadequately cleaned. Overall, my experience with this property was positive, and I would recommend it."
"Great location and safe. Great staff. Very professional and fast. Rooms are nice. Beautiful architecture and decor. A very good place to stay in the middle of the city. "
"This place is a lovely authentic gem. Beds where very comfortable, room was very clean, and the bathroom was recently furbished. The building does not have your typical hotel frontage with fancy foyer as you enter. But dont let that put you off.
The reception is on the second floor of this 200 year old building. So if you like charming old building with new upgrades, this place is worth a stay. Bonus points for being centrally located in the heart of Catania and the staff are absolutely lovely. "
