Urban Pop Hostel & BnB

A hostel is a perfect place to meet people from all around the world, so it could be a great cultural and linguistic experience! We can also teach him/her Italian language and culture while we work and live together, and give very good Italian cooking advice!

Our hostel is run by a family and our team is made of very nice and friendly people! It would be a pleasure for us to host someone and make him/her feel part of the family!

My experience at the hostel and in Catania was truly lovely. I felt very comfortable at the hostel; the tasks were always as agreed, and there was good communication as well. I had free time to really immerse myself in the city.
The staff, Salvo and Reza, were always very kind, without a doubt, a place I would recommend! 🍕🇮🇹🍝

The experience was ok. Reza and Salvo are very patient when teaching. The hostel is quiet. The amount of work is a lot compared to what you get in return. They send the info beforehand and you accept it, but reading it is not the same as doing it. They don't have staff, ¨we are¨ Breakfast isn’t enough for the work required. It was okay thanks to the amazing other volunteers.

I would advise everyone to take the provided list of daily tasks and working hours seriously and really ask themselves if they are willing to work that much & get relatively little in return.
There will be days where you are working from morning until 7pm, with just one little break to cook yourself lunch.
If you like staying busy and have some time to kill, this hostel is a good option to experience the Sicilian life. It has a nice vibe, I almost immediately felt very comfortable. And Catania actually grows on you.
For me it's a good memory, but I don't think everyone will enjoy it.

All details about hours, tasks, and what’s offered were clearly explained on our profile and during our WhatsApp chat before arrival. You even said, “I’m confident I’ll be able to manage everything easily.” So it’s surprising to read it felt unexpected. We value transparency and always ensure volunteers know exactly what to expect.

Pros: They don’t blame you if you can’t do the work correctly, they just show you how to do it. Everyone is so kind and open-minded. You meet different people all around the world. My priority to come here was to practice my English and I appreciate that it worked. I had the chance to meet the best volunteers! Best parts are the friendships and traveling around Sicily.
Cons: It’s a lot of work. Yes, I agreed and said OK to everything during my stay but what you give and receive are not the same. I showed them I cared about my work and I got the most work in the morning shift! :)

I stayed at the hostel for 1 1/2 months and it was one of the best decisions I ever made! I instantly became friends with the other volunteers and can now say that they are probably friends for life. The work in the hostel isn’t that hard either and when you make a mistake, nobody holds it against you but instead show you how to do it correctly, so the work atmosphere is really chill.
I also really recommend this experience if you are a person who likes to go out, since the city truely comes to life at night! But even if not, this will be an amazing experience 10000%
