Guest reviews

The welcome at reception was friendly, but our room turned out to be a big disappointment. We were given what seemed to be the worst room in the property, and the Booking photos didn't show it properly. There isn't a proper window, just a pair of doors that look like terrace doors. Open them and you're at the bottom of the building, facing huge water tanks and a noisy pump. It runs day and night and woke us several times. If you look closely, you can see the pump in the photos. For the price, I think a normal window that opens for fresh air is a fair minimum to expect. I wasn't looking for a city view. Inside, there was a small fridge but nothing else, not even a glass or kettle. That is also visible if you check the Booking photos. We felt misled by the photos and description, and based on the conditions we experienced, I can't recommend the place.
Four days and nights later, we're still buzzing. Our stay was a solid 15 out of 10, and the hosting alone deserves an Oscar. The host gave us proper private service, from a charming airport pickup to friendly, easy communication. Everything felt perfect and a little extra special. Another lady was a real highlight too, so energetic and funny. Her surprise food treats saved us two dinners we hadn't even expected, and they were absolutely delightful. The rooms were small, but dreamy, spotless, and cozy. The beds felt like little clouds of heaven, and honestly, I could've stayed in bed forever. We'll be back, maybe for more than just the rooms. Some charming personalities really leave an impression. Thank you very much!
Milena was so pleasant and cheerful, and helped us get oriented with places to eat and things to see. We were staying just one night before a 6:00 AM airport departure, and she let us check in two hours early. At our request, she brought an electric kettle, tea, coffee, and cookies. The hotel is near Catania's main street, Etea, and the lovely Villa Bellini park. It met our expectations, with a comfortable stay and a convenient location at a reasonable price. I’d recommend it.
A calm, clean and charming place to come back to after exploring Catania. We were very happy with our stay at Giro Del Mondo during our Sicily trip. The rooms have different themes, the air conditioning worked well, and the bathrooms were nicely equipped. It’s peaceful but right in the center, near Bellini Park and a supermarket within easy walking distance. An older woman welcomed us warmly, though I didn’t get her name, and the property seemed well looked after. For our 7 AM flight, we got an Uber Black Taxi without any trouble. In our experience it was usually cheaper and more reliable than the official taxis. Grazie mille!
The bed was comfortable and the room was lovely, though it had no window. That was okay for us since we spent the days out. Communication with the owner was great, and there was a really good breakfast spot near the hotel. Parking cost extra, but our space was right by the front door. If you're driving, bring some coins. Everything else was good.
