It was an experience that helped me to grow! 👍🏼: >Vibe of the rooftop &common areas > free drinks during shifts/discounts rest of the time > sometimes 3 free days🥳 👎🏼: -long night shifts (till 8:30) in which you start the breakfast (can be a lot sometimes) > you get treated as an employee sometimes & you get the feeling they look down on you (only 1-2 of the staff) > small and unhealthy meals In general I really enjoyed the experience, but mostly because of really cool guests & another volunteer I became really close to! Also because of Claudio & Sara, you made my shifts a lot nicer🫶🏼

I really loved the common areas and the roof top at the hostel. They provided us with breakfast and dinner everyday which was nice. We had a couple of issues regarding communication. But overall it was a good experience.

I really look forward to come back to this beautiful place & I recommend l'the hostel if u want to explore the region, meet internationals & work with a really nice team! Spacious common areas, clean kitchen, rooftop with a view (etna), central location, only 24h/week (2 nightshifts) so a lot of free time for u! Sometimes the extent of the tasks (what it involves) was not well communicated (so ask for it in advance). And the room for 5 volunteers is not big & has little storage space (but consider it part of the experience ;-)). No hidden hints in this review. I would definitely do it again!

I had a great time at the hostel! The staff is very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere always good. The work is simple and can be a lot of fun. The other volunteers and the staff made it a great experience for me. I will miss the calcetto evenings so much. Hopefully we will see each other again! Thank you for the great time!

Uno de los mejores hostels que experimente como voluntaria. Las tareas son muy sencillas, ambiente tranquilo, desayuno y de cena pasta muy buena y areas limpias. Tiene una terraza increíble donde se puede ver toda la ciudad y el volcan. Los funcionarios y dueños son muy amables y siempre me ayudaron cuando lo precise. No me gusto la ciudad pero podes tomar un bus a cualquier parte de Sicilia facilmente. Gracias por la oportunidad!

I had such a good time at the hostel:) The shifts were easy and you had a lot of free time to explore the city. I am really happy that I had this experience and that I got to know so many amazing people. I hope one day I can come back to Catania.

What can I say about the hostel... I felt home since my first day OVER THERE All the staff is funny , supportive and patient to teach us the chores... They respect totally the schedule and hours... In more than one month I've never felt myself working, because the work there is really enjoyable and not demanding at all , even the night shift ... I can't recommend them enough... You will be so lucky if they accept you Thank you guys with all my heart 🙏

Mi experiencia en el hostel fue muy buena! Tuve un@s compañer@s voluntarios excepcionales. El staff es increíble y sobre todo quiero dar las gracias a Ale y a Claudio:) Por motivos personales tuve que marcharme antes y fueron muy flexibles y tolerantes con la situación. El hostel está ubicado en la mejor zona de Catania y en los alrededores tienes mucho que visitar! Muchas gracias por todo:) Recomiendo siempre dirigirte a Ale y Claudio para tratar cualquier tema ya sea del voluntariado o algo personal.

My 1-month volunteering at the hostel has just ended and I feel like I've experienced so much in a relatively short period of time. The hostel is beautiful and since it's very popular in Catania, I had the opportunity to know many different people from different countries everyday. The staff is lovely and everyone is ready to make you feel at home. In my opinion the tasks, even including the night shifts, are not heavy at all and you have a lot of free time to visit the surroundings, Catania is indeed the perfect base if you want to explore east Sicily. Strongly recommended!
