The hostel was truly an incredible experience! Salvo and Reza make the stay memorable and are dedicated to making sure you have the greatest time possible. The tasks and hours are clearly laid out, Reza has high expectations of the completed work but it reflects in how clean and organized the hostel is. You have plenty of free time to walk around the city, go to the beach, or even travel to other cities. Thank you Salvo and Reza for the unforgettable time! :))

My time here was unforgettable. Reza is the perfect manager and Salvo's energy is unmatched. They made this experience truly worth it. It's a beautiful hostel and you can find plenty of time to explore as the work is manageable. If you're looking for a home away from home, this is your place. Thanks for everything.

It was my 2 experience and I don't know how any place should top this experience. Not only the hostel itself is beautiful, the work time was ALWAYS respected, mostly I even worked less. The friends I made here will forever be in my heart. I really wanna thank Salvo and Reza, I couldn't wish for better Hosts, always understanding and caring about you. If you look for a home away from home join them… I'll miss everything, especially the good food from the best restaurant near: McDonalds 😌

I had an amazing time volunteering at the hostel. I got to meet incredible people, form a beautiful community with the other volunteers, and Salvo and Reza were super welcoming hosts. The communication from the beginning was excellent, with all the details about the workload and the hours, so there were no surprises. All the hours were respected and hot work but easy to handle. The location was ideal, close to the center, and it was easy to travel around Sicily by bus. It was my first wolrdpackers and I am so happy I got to spend part of my summer here I'll always remember it

Hi! The time that I spent in the hostel was lovely!! I've met amazing people (staff, volunteers and guests), had so muchh fun in the city and also in the hostel! Sicilia is amazing! The work schedule allowed me to explore Catania after work and Sicilia in my days off. The schedule is really well organized and the work is not hard! Also Salvo and Reza are the sweetest, they are always available to help! Highly recommend volunteering in the hostel! Big hugs to everyone

I had a wonderful time at the hostel and I'm gonna miss the hostel and especially the other volunteers! It is in a great spot and is very easy to travel around Sicily. The hostel work was agreed upon beforehand, it is hot work but after a week becomes more manageable and easier. If your ready to work and enjoy Sicilian summer I recommend !!

My stay at the hostel was rewarding and challenging. The work was well explained and demanding, but I managed it with the team's support. I handled cleaning, reception, and laundry, each offering valuable learning. Breakfast was good but basic. The host treated me with respect, patience, and flexibility, even allowing me to stay extra days. Although I didn't join the tours and hikes, they occurred regularly. Overall, a great experience for those ready to work hard in a multicultural environment.

UrbanPop has become a little home away from home. Big thanks to Salvo and Reza as they were always so kind and caring( and omg so funny). The hostel has a great location in the city, enough free days or flexible shifts to be able to explore Catania or the island itself. Not super social, but can be at times, so both a good place to relax and meet people if you're up for it. The work is demanding but nothing one cant do after a days training. Overall an incredible experience, cant wait to return some day! xx

This was my first worldpacker experience and I had such an amazing time! The working hours were respected and you get plenty of time off to explore Catania and visit nearby towns! You are expected to work and clean to a high level, which was expected, and all the tasks were explained well in detail! Reza is very hardworking and Salvo is one of the kindest people I've met which helped to make the hostel feel like a home away from home! There are also loads of great and cheap restaurants and bars really close which was great. I miss the hostel and all the wonderful people I met there already!
