Close to the polyclinic which can also be reached by bus (BRT1) which stops in front the gate of the building, if you want to reach the center a few steps from the metro station (Milo)

Excellent hotel, very welcoming and helpful staff always available and very kind and qualified. They were able to direct us in giving advice on how to move and find typical attractions of Catania. Hotel located a stone's throw from the center of Catania. Advised

Cute rooms, great location, easy access in and out, right near the main bus station so it was easy to get to the airport. Good air conditioning. We stayed here two different times and the second room had a bathroom that was private but outside of the room (we had the only key - but inconvenient and very hot in the bathroom). If you hoped for a breakfast buffet with hot items, you would be very disappointed - only yogurt and a coffee/tea machine and pre-packaged crisp bread and pastry in the room. However - you could go to the 24 hour place across the street for simple food items. The host was available - personable and helpful.

My wife and I spent four nights at Ciuri di Strata while in Catania for a friend's wedding. We have stayed in many places in many cities around the world and this is one of our favorites anywhere. The building was restored recently, so you get to enjoy the beautiful 1920s ceilings and tile floors with modern comforts. The B&B is quiet, well maintained, and very clean. Alessandra and Giuseppe are perfect hosts. From the moment we arrived we enjoyed their warm hospitality and friendliness. The daily breakfast is a highlight! Don't miss the freshly pressed juice.

Habitat is a very comfortable & architecturally attractive hotel with mid-century modern décor. Its location on a lovely, quiet street is ideal. Museo Diocesano (great view of Etna & the city from its roof) is 8-minutes away by foot. The hotel’s interior patio is a pleasant place to sit & relax. Raffaele at the front desk was professional, friendly & a big help to us re local suggestions & researching transportation options to our next destination. The breakfast buffet is a special feature of Habitat. It’s offered in a beautiful & bright space that converts to a restaurant at night. Extremely fresh farm-to-table offerings - - all of the highest quality - - impressive even for food-serious Sicily. The coffee is made-to-order (not automatic machine) & the breakfast staff is pleasant & attentive. Manuela is the talented chef who creates their amazing pastries. A very nice hotel experience. We’ll definitely plan to stay here on our next visit to Catania.

I really wanted to enjoy this hotel/bed & breakfast but I cannot recommend to anyone. I've waited a week before writing this review - I booked through ******* who funnily enough won't let me write a review...is it because there are known problems I only stayed 1 night out of 3 without any goodwill refund! There was no welcome checkin ust call a number and send over your passport info in exchange for a pass code to gain entry - very impersonal - also told to leave tourist taxes money on the side in my room (not likely as no receipt!) The place is clean but it's also very dark the room has ensuite but the step is double the normal (building regulations) height which is dangerous for anyone well or afflicted in anyway there was Breakfast food in the room but only coffee and water to drink no tea! There is a TV which dominates the room but worst of all the bed faces the door so your feet point outwards to the door VERY BAD sleeping position and finally the door handle came away in my hand on arrival prior to even entering the room! BUT this was fixed before bedtime. I cannot recommend this place to anyone - I expect the owner who had other matters to tend with instead of welcoming guestswas happy to meet me on my departure but reluctant to refund the remaining two days stay which is understandable as it was booked through ******* whom I do not trust anymore as they don't vet their properties so whats the point! There needs to be someone to welcome guests -there needs to be light in the place to make it welcoming and the bed position needs to be reviewed and most importantly the step to the ensuite is danpgerously high. I wish I didn't have to say all this but its true. I see that previous reviewers of this place have endured the owner wrath in response - but I'd like to say take the reviews as an opportunity to learn and improve the property not as a personal attack.

The location is average, but very new, the room is large, if you need two rooms, it is strongly recommended to set up a family room of 85 square meters, super large, the practical area of 85 square meters, there are eight balconies, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, one large living room. The mini bar and coffee are free.

Good position in a sideway that leads to the road that leads straight to Duomo. The B&B is located in a historic palace (obviously the structure is old, this is to be taken into account) on the second floor, with the entry made with a numerical keyboard thanks to the code given after check-in. The spacious room is very comfortable and the room is very spacious, with the air conditioner that saved us from the boiling of Catania. Breakfast can be held in a bar with a very nice environment, just a few steps from the B&B. The strength of this structure is however the gentleness and availability of the owners, especially Serena, who has a very good guest care aware and especially offering very pleasant, curiosous and attractive experiences to make the visit of Catania and neighbouring areas really suggestive! I suggest a sunscreen on the panoramic terrace that is on the square and Etna. B&B conventions with other facilities and services are very interesting and the network of contacts that have created managers is really winner. Thank you for the great experience you have made us live!

Only stayed at B&B 5 Balconi for 1 night but left a very great impression and great start to our trip around Sicily. Firstly, id like to thank Rob for his help and hospitality. We unfortunately had an issue with our rental vehicle which provided a deal of stress on the Saturday evening. However Rob was very welcoming, cool and collective and settled us in on the late evening. We also managed to leave with the B&B Keys - Rob was very understanding and we managed to post them back with no issue. Communication was great. The accommodation was very homely with great décor around. Comfy bed, nice view of the hectic Catania roads, stones throw from popular sites and an excellent breakfast. I had the Pistachio Croissant with filtered coffee which was delicious. Thank you again.

We were very welcome, we arrived well before check-in, but we could leave our baggage that were then raised in our room. The receptionist, very kind and friendly, gave us a Catane plan and gave us good advice to walk and for the restaurants. The hotel has a design decoration and the majesty of the old palace. We have been very well sleeping because the street is relatively quiet and there is a very good double glass. Breakfast is very expensive, served as a buffet in a pleasant room. We enjoyed having fresh fruits, among other things. At our departure we could leave our luggage at the hotel to walk quietly in Catane, with our plane being in the evening. The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable and is very comfortable.
