My stay at the hostel was absolutely wonderful and I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially if they like meeting locals. The location is very convenient and the working hours are fine. the hostel, the owner, is a very respectful and js always down for chatting. I would recommend this especially for people who are down for learning the local customs and immerse in the Sicilian lifestyle. On top of everything, I managed to make a couple of friends in Giardini, which is a lovely town. I would definitely come back.

Staying at the hostel for my first world packers experience was the best choice I could've made. The shifts were easy and he even helped me be able to take a trip to Palermo for a night to explore! Getting to volunteer here truly gave me an experience that I will never forget. Even when working, we were all hanging out in the common area or having dinner together. The atmosphere that is created here makes it so easy to make/become friends with everyone. Thank you for everything the hostel.

I couldn't recommend the hostel more. I had an incredible time here. The location of the hostel is so convenient and there is plenty to do in and around the city. the the hostel is super clean and inviting. The kitchen has the essentials and a welcoming environment. The work itself is as advertised, for me it included checking in / out guests and other reception tasks. The work was easy in nature and if you follow the hostel's instructions it is easy to complete tasks. I didn't learn much Italian while I was here but if you wanted to there is plenty of opportunity to learn it here.

I had a great stay at the hostel. I was warmly welcomed from the beginning, and both the hostel and Graziella truly value your effort and the work you do. Even during high season, everything went smoothly, with little to no complications during my stay. Being so close to Taormina and the beach also makes it easy to enjoy other activities, even on the days when you have to work. Thank you the hostel, I will remember this summer!
