First of all, it is habitable. But the picture it gave was very wrong, this is not a hotel but a famous inn. You will be living in a house with two other tenants. The shower drain was clogged and the water was overflowing.

Due to arriving outside the scheduled check-in time, we had to stay in a nearby location, with similar conditions, the landlord kindly quickly provided us with this solution, very clean common areas, comfortable bed. Clean towels. Nice views of the sea. The only thing to improve perhaps is the cleanliness of the room (sheets and floor). Otherwise perfect.

As a long-time traveler, this is the first time I have encountered such an irresponsible accommodation.
I thought I was scammed
No owner, no contact.
With the help of strangers in Italy, I was barely contacted.
I was able to enter
Koreans sincerely hope that no one stays here.
I plan to complain to Trip.com as well.
This is because you have been assigned a room of a different type (1 king) from what you reserved (1 queen size, 1 single)

it was a terrible experience, we have travel all night and when we arrived at 9:40 AM, no one was pick up the cellphone and the reception didn’t answer. we was with a little baby and we left us outside till 13:00! we called them at 13:00 and they started yelling that whey ware inside the building! after that we told us that we will get inside at 15:00 when the owner will come ate the apartment! whey ware very rude and arrogant, after we have send the screenshots all the call te the owner and no response from them. we have stay 5 day with only one pair of towel. we pay the breakfast and was never served. in the end they send us a sms why we left the apartment in disorder. we have pay the fee of cleaning! the house has to much noise, old building and very dirty. i don’t recommend to any other person.

The B&B is located in a beautiful old building with high ceilings and balconies. The hosts are lovely; kind and helpful! They helped is out when we were in a difficult situation. We had booked another B&B in the same building but when arriving in the evening they couldnt accomodate us. The hosts of Elephant smile came to our ”rescue” and arranged for us to stay at their B&B. We are so grateful for that, and the fact that the B&B turned out to be such a lovely place made it even better. The price is also very reasonable. If you stay in Catania we really recommend this place!
