The hostel has a really great vibe and the staff is super helpful. It's a really nice place to meet people from all over the world and also the Italian culture and language. The schedule is flexible and the work is easy, giving time to enjoy and having fun in the city and the places nearby. So, I totally recommend!

First of all when you think you're talking to Marcelo you're actually talking to an employee or a volunteer. The bedroom is disgusting and you have to share a filth and without any privacy room with 4 more people. The bathroom is also shared with guests and it is always dirty no matter the time you use it. I was trained in Italian even thought I don't speak the language. They don't care - and they (the employees) make sure you feel uncomfortable about it. The hours are insane, shifts from midnight to 8am. Run from this place like I did!!!

It was my first experience. I'm so grateful that I had the chance to go to Catania to the hostel and learn a lot of new things. People from the staff are friendly and good persons - I just had a bad experience with one of them, Despite that I had a good time there and the other volunteers are amazing persons. The work is really easy, the shifts are okay and if you want to change something you have always the option to ask Ale, he's really professional and a good person! My only recommendation is to be more communicative, pay more attention to volunteers and condition of the room.Grazie a tutti<3

I really could not have asked for a better first worldpackers experience. The hostel itself is very beautiful with an amazing view over the city and Etna. The staff and the other volunteers were very welcoming and I had a lot of fun. The tasks were easy once you learnt everything and the staff were always there if you needed help or had any questions. The nightshifts could be quite challenging sometimes, but they could also be very fun with the other volunteers or guests. I'll truly miss the wonderful people that I met, exploring Sicily in my free time and the free pasta every night ;)

Wonderful experience and amazing team! The hostel itself is beautiful and unique, it's perfectly situated in Catania, and it is great to discover the surrounding cities. The work is easy and everyone is always ready to help and the atmosphere is really welcoming as well. I really recommend this place for the experience and meeting memorable people. Be ready for pasta in the evening and cornetto with accordeon every morning! Grazie Mille!

It was an excellent experience staying at the hostel, I totally recommend this volunteering. The staff has all the disposition to integrate you and teach you the tasks that you'll have to carry out inside the Hostel. The work is light and easy to learn. Week by week, work days and days off are organized, so you can always talk about days off to coordinate with your travel interests. Catania is a perfect place to get to know Sicily in general, you have easy transportation to Siracusa, Etna, Taormina and Palermo, places that you can visit for a day if you wish, except for Palermo

This experience was my first volunteering with woldpackers and I have to say that it has been amazing. This hostel has something that makes you feel home from the first moment. This is because everyone who works there have the same aim of making everyone feel at home. The work is really clear and fun to do. I would definitely recommend it to everyone who is willing to meet people from different countries, learn about italian culture and discover how a hostel works! I can only say thank you so much for everything and for giving me the chance to stay and help you♡!

Indimenticabile. Unforgettable experience in the hostel. Many stories to tell on its terraces. To repeat in the future. Really good vibe with both staff and volunteers. The work wasn't very difficult and flexibility of timetable. Night shifts were a little bit hard but bereable with the colleagues. I took advantage of travelling as much as I could. Catania=Street sites and art. Insane beaches around. Also, Luca's cocktails were insane. You should try "Etna mule". Grande ragazziiii!!! In summary, I felt sicilianu for a month. Grazie mille! Ci vediamo presto 😎

I had such a good welcome treatning when I came to the hostel. And this go on during all my experience: people are amazing, kind and respecful, and I could make friends and learn more about responsability and work with people at hostels. The tasks are easy going and very clear. I really, really loved all the staff: Claudio, Angela, Sara, Marcello, the voluntaries team and others are the best! It feels like home and I can't wait to return. Thank you guys for the hospitality! 💖🌋
