The receptionist ladies are very, very nice, but I only gave 3 stars in the staff category because this hostel has the worst cleaning person I have ever met out of over 100 hostels I have stayed in. One time she yelled and screamed at me, I would not feel bad if she just peacefully talked to me. Another time, while another lady guest and I were having breakfast in the kitchen, this cleaning lady complained: the stove needs to be cleaned, the toastor needs to be cleaned, then she repeated the same words while looking at the other lady guest, and then she repeated again while looking at me. Actually we didn't cook, we just warmed up some leftover food, the stove and toaster were in the same condition as when checked in (not very clean), the cleaning staff should have cleaned them, but she asked us to clean up. Before I met this cleaning lady, I told the receptionist lady that I would come back in 8 days before I fly away from Catania. Since I don't want to see this cleaning lady again, I didn't go back to this hostel. She really should learn some hospitality from the receptionist ladies.

Well the good points first: I see they do make regular efforts to keep the place clean there are cool art installations on all the walls the location is very central The downsides: (buckle in) it’s extremely claustrophobic, it’s hard to even navigate between the bunks without sticking your knee in your neighbour’s face. I’m not all that big but I couldn’t sit in the bottom bunk without hitting my head, & there wasn’t space for everyone’s things to go. The kitchen/ small common room area hours are pretty limiting. And one whole day staff were overhauling the space, with stuff absolutely everywhere and were painting the chairs- so the space couldn’t be used even in opening hours to grab a quick bite. *Some of my food was stolen The street sounds of bars and traffic are SUPER loud at night WORST of all: One of the guests in our room had a medical emergency in the middle of the night while he was sleeping. Luckily others noticed and together managed to call an ambulance and get him medical attention….so it was very fortunate everyone collectively had the skills, maturity, and language abilities to deal with the situation. But what completely shocked me is that there is NO NIGHT TIME STAFF- (not even an on-call emergency phone number listed anywhere) to get ahold of any staff in an extreme situation like this!!!! (And I was looking everywhere). We just dealt with the situation ourselves and tried to go back to sleep after the paramedics left. Incredible lack of care.
