“Nice hostel with unbeatable location”
I really liked it. It has very nice vibe overall, I want to thank people who work there - I felt welcomed from the first minute. Beds are large, amount of space in the pod is awesome. Privacy was good, there was enough air in the room too. Upper beds do not have ceiling, so if lights are switched on you could potentially be bothered by this (but I slept in a mask and with earplugs so had a great night sleep). Some reviews were mentioning loud music but that was not the case. Kitchen had drinking tap water and I appreciate the breakfast prepared for me as I was leaving super early for plane (bread, butter, jam and hot coffee). Sheets on the beds were crispy clean, pressed, fresh and good quality. The pod overall was clean. I haven’t used the duvet, looked ok to me; pillow was fine too. Location is great - 5 min walk to Duomo and 5 min to airport shuttle (took me 15 min at 6 AM to get to airport terminal). Bathrooms are downstairs but that was ok for me too. Good value for money. I would gladly stay again and recommend it.

“Probably the best hostel to stay in at Catania :)”
The staff at Eco Hostel are some of the warmest people I've ever met! The stay felt more like staying at a B&B than a hostel. They accommodated my request to have a lower bunk, and even provided early breakfast when I said I could not join during the regular hours. They also hosted a movie and pasta night for the guests, which was quite fun. Not to forget the welcome drink! The beds were huge and so were the rooms. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at the hostel. It is also 5mins away from the city centre.

Close Hostel nearby to Catania and buzzing Piazza Santa Maria dell'Indrizzo as well as all the major sights. I visited Catania for the clubs football team (they are quite a decent distance from the Hostel but this is irrelevant really) and was in a quandary because of the late kick off time and early transport back to Palermo where I was mainly based. I needed a place of safety and warmth with somewhere to get limited but comfortable shut eye in the very early hours, this was perfect and a big thank you to Eco Hostel. They also helped greatly in accompanying me in this early check out. Both staff members upon arrival and later in the evening were warm kind and gave me all the info I needed for the stay. The Hostel itself has a relaxed vibe to everything inside and is in a quiet neighbourhood albeit still a stones throw from everything else. The lounge area particularly is massive. Beers and drinks in reception as well as breakfast available (although I missed this) The bed when I eventually managed to get back was so comfortable that I hated leaving at such an ungodly hour, all this within a fantastic price point for 1 night I can't reccomend it enough.

Friendly staff, good shower that was hot, curtain on bed for privacy. Location was good and near a bus stop for the Alibus bus to the airport. Never had to wait for the bathroom. Breakfast was toast with jam, cake, juice and a hot drink

Very big cabin, big bed with a curtain it's very nice for intimacy in a hostel. Big common room where you can chill or socialise with other guests. The breakfast is nice and last longer than elsewhere. The volunteers are all friendly and easy going, it's a big plus. I arrived the day they was a movie night with pasta, which was pretty cool.
