I stayed for 4 nights and had a great experience. The location of this hostel is fantastic. It is simple to get around to see the city's main attractions, and it takes about 15 minutes to walk to the bus and train stop to get to other nearby locations. The roof top bar and the small balcony have a great view, where you can unwind and take in the atmosphere both at night and during the day. Breakfast is excellent, and there is complimentary pasta every night. I stayed in a single room with a private bathroom! The room is bright and has a tiny balcony, which is a very spacious room! The bed was very comfy! But the best part of my stay there was the staff. They were all fantastic, friendly, and fantastic. Always helpful, friendly, and friendly, with a nice word. I would definite recommend staying there. I will be back and without any hesitation stay there. Thank you for everything you did to make my solo journey unforgettable.

It's a fantastic location and an incredible, lively, and energized break in this amazing hostel. Staying under the gorgeously painted ceilings felt like a privilege. Old-style in furnishings such as iron bunk beds, an outdated kitchen, and basic showers but the cost for everything else is unbeatable. The simple breakfast, with oven fresh pastry, hot drink, and fruit salad enjoyed on the balcony and performed each morning by an accordion player, was a nice plus. Give him spare money. Located in the center of the hubbub that is life in the city of Samanic, close to the airport bus and a 20-minute walk from the larger bus and rail stops. Avoid booking a tour from the office in the neighborhood, especially to go to Eta or hire a car as the local bus may be oversold and ruin your trip. The reception staff is really helpful, but some of them have just arrived as volunteers, so go easy on them and do some of your own research. The lovely local workers also come in and the cleaning crew diligently looked at the outdated shower cubicles. It's a must to spend a wonderful few days in Sianic, oh yes, take the longer distance bus to Saracuse to see Ortygia and also visit the touristy but still lovely, Tona, and walk or cable car down to the

The location is strategic, and it has a comfortable female dorm. It also has a buzzing central location. The staff here were so friendly and helpful. They also have a rooftop bar with stunning views and a free pasta every night. In terms of comfort, these are the best hostels that I have ever been in.

I booked this hostel because it's the ideal choice for a staycation and has free pasta for free every night. This hotel is located in the city center, and it is very strategic and close to everything. Despite the cleanliness, this hostel is very clean and it has free pasta every night. So you can rest here.

I felt very satisfied with my stay at the Elephant over Christmas. The location is in the heart of satanic. Late night can be noisy, but that's to be expected. The staff is friendly and serves pasta for dinner and pastries for breakfast. The communal area is lovely, and the rooms are well equipped with lamps, charging stations and privacy curtains. I would suggest this hostel to someone looking for somewhere else in satanic.
