Ostello Della Gioventù - Il Castello in Noto

I would give 5 Stars if it was for the location alone. But... I think this place needs a little makeover. I know it is a hostel and that's fine but even though, the rooms and especially the bathrooms need some renewal. We had a room that was made for 8 people for just the 2 of us which was nice and we had a lot of space. The view on the city was perfect. However, the beds (all but one were bunk beds) were a bit older. And the shower and toilet rooms could surely be modernised. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Umbrellas for the beach are available which was nice. Breakfast was ok but not great; sweetened juice and yoghurt... I think that could be improved easily (maybe some fresh fruit and pure yoghurt instead).

The view is beautiful, the room was very spacious even though it was a bit strange to have 4 sinks for only two people. Very good price for what it is. However, I would suggest improving the breakfast: fresh squeezed orange juice for example, fresh fruit salad, and natural yogurt of great quality instead of processed yogurt with artifical flavors, add more variety for the pastries.... If you improve your breakfast my score will go up to a 5 starts :)
