B&B Bella Stella in Catania

After 2 long weeks of staying in hostels for exorbitant prices, it was so lovely to have my own room for such an affordable price!! The place is very clean, tidy, pleasant-smelling potpourri in each room, towels and linens provided, and air conditioning! The bathrooms are shared, not attached, but quite clean and spacious. Breakfast is included in the already very low price, and you can find little snacks in the breakfast room even after it is over.

The owners are incredibly hospitable and welcoming! You can leave your luggage there before check-in, but please be aware and respect their time/availability and let them know in advance if you plan to do this, so they can be available to let you in.

The location is very close to the center of the city, just a short walk away from the fish market, weekend street markets, elephant fountain, and many other landmarks!!

The quality to price ratio is the best I’ve had in my travels. I cannot recommend this place enough and will stay here again if I return to Sicily!!

I stayed for two nights at the BB Bella Stella in Catania on 13 and 14 April 2024, and had a very pleasant stay: a large, bright room, a very clean bathroom and a friendly owner who was happy to talk about the heritage of this beautiful Sicilian city.

Handily located small, comfy well equipped and run B&B, close to station, airport bus, restaurants and short walk to city centre, great breakfast at the cafe/bar round the corner. The fully equipped kitchen and dining area was useful for eat at home dinners. Our hosts were helpful & around most days. Highly recommend!!

The hostess was lovely- very helpful. My only problem was that I locked myself in the bathroom and for 1 and 1/2 hours couldn’t work out how to unlock the door. Very traumatic as no one else was on the premises.

Quiet. Clean. Convenient location.

It was a hotel suitable for the price. The remote control for the air conditioner didn't work, but it was a tolerable cold, so it wasn't a problem. The hotel is difficult to check in for those who don't have WhatsApp.

Great value for money. Nice and very helpful host, speaks some English. I was able to leave baggage in hotel before check-in after asking the day prior. Position close to historical centre. AC in rooms. 2 shared bathrooms (with one washing machine) for 4 rooms and shared equipped kitchen with free coffee and tea, both clean. Great quick bites shop right next door were locals shop and you can buy some Sicilian food for low price.
