It's the place where to stay in Catania if you wanna meet people from all over the world, definitely the hostel in which is really easy to meet other people becouse the common areas are nice and everywhere, the staff is amazing and funny. If I have to say something that could be improved, are the bathrooms a bit old and luck of any activities but for rest is really good 10/10 for the breakfast

Our stay at the Elefanti was great! The staff are so friendly and helpful and the facilities are beautiful. The location is very central and we had a very favorable experience. The blankets provided were not that thick and towels cost extra, but for the value the accommodations were very decent. I also highly recommend eating dinner at the restaurant in the hostel, I had some of the best pasta I've ever tasted there.

Good place to stay if you need A bed right in the city centre. Staff was helpfull. Showers were comfy but A bit small. Beds are fine, had A good night sleep. Every bed has its own curtain for privacy.

Wonderful palaxe and position, with a fantastic terrace on a central square with the Etna on the on the orizon. Bathrooms could be much better though. Anyway, very nice place.

The location is ideal, right in the heart of Catania, staff are helpful and friendly, and the rooms have frescoes on the ceilings. I would definitely recommend!

We had a really nice stay in Catania. The staff was super friendly. The rooms are quiet big, the common room is very beautiful and they also have a fantastic roof terrace. Unfortunately, they don't have a kitchen but restaurant instead!

Nice hostel in a pretty cool location. It's very central but therefore also a bit noisy. I had some trouble finding it.
I would definitely go again!

I can't recommend Ostello degli Elefanti and Catania enough. I've never stayed in a Hostel before so I was a little unsure what to expect. The staff, the cleanliness and the location are all perfect to experience the beautiful city of Catania and the Sicilian culture.

This hostel was great in every way I remember. I genuinely enjoyed my stay.

The curtains around the beds in the dormitory will render the hostel a bad name. Several persons cannot go into mixed dormitories unless these are very big and thus have social controll. (Saloon and dormitory can be changed in the Elefanti hostel)
