Agora Hostel – Sicily - Catania, Italy

Air conditioning in summer would be a great extra bonus if available

not Air Co in august is terrible

Close to everything you could want to do. Super small rooms, but nothing unexpected. I liked that there were hair dryers in the bathrooms. I would stay here again.

The hostel is very nice but It is more like a College Hostel... All crowd with people from College waking up at 7:20 AM... The Staff are awesome! Especially Marina who treated us very very well!!

very good hostel. nice staff.

Bar next to the hostel, great staff. Food at the bar is overpriced and the portions are small, however the environment is hard to beat and you will be sure to meet many new people and enjoy a good night out. Great staff and a great place to stay. Highly recommended!

Very dirty (with insects in bathrooms), very noisy - restaurant and pub open till 2-3 a.m. every day, artificial leather on mattresses - not possible to sleep at least good, 3 toilets and 3 showers for girls and boys, respectively for at least 60-70 people. Hostel is open 24 h - not closing doors in dormitories and entrance to the hostel - we felt very unsafe. People who were in the hostel were at least strange. No good place to eat and spend time in hostel - and prohibition to eat and drink in dormitories. Breakfast - I really don't believe that Italian people drink so awful coffee I eating old bread with butter and marmalade.

My overall experience is good, the position is excellent, the breakfast includes coffee, tea, milk, cereals some gem and butter, which for 12 euro per night is OK, they give you clean sheets in the first day, the place didn't seem to me that noisy as I've red on the other reviews (normal noise level in db for a hostel :))). We had some life music at the bar one night, they have happy yours at which you can eat for 6 euros and drink a bear with 2 euros. You have to pay 2 euro for the locker (if you take one, i didn't need it. Staff is helpful and they know English. So, as I said, had a pleasant stay..

Very good position...

noise and cold

The place is very noisy specially at night, because there is a bar downstairs and a train line very much close to the rooms. Despite the fact that it is close to nice places and the staff is friendly, it is not a clean hostel, specially the bathrooms. During the summer, two fans, one in the ceiling, were not enough. We don´t recommend this place!

The hostel is located next to a railway line, so when the train pass you notice that. They have a big bar, a lot of people go in the night. I think there´s no hostel options in general, so this one is ok.

It´s pitty, that the entertainment can´t be rated as 120%. We very very amazed of Catania and the neighbouring areas.

Cheap and friendly pension in center of Catania. Noise in the evening isn't so disturbing.

Great and very helpful staff! Location very good in the center and trips to Etna are easily organized from hostel. Breakfast was included and suprisingly good for a hostel breakfast! I would stay there again!

Thank you very much! Very friendly personnel. Hostel like us.

Not bad. Small and cramped beds but the breakfasts were good. Bar area also a big plus. Best thing is the staff will organise discount tours to Mt Etna and this makes the hostel a worthwhile option.

very good vibes in an efficient environment
