Központi helyen lévő szállás, pár percre van a vonat és a buszállomás. A városközpont kényelmes sétával elérhető. A szállásadó minden reggel friss croissantot, felvágottat, sajtot, joghurtot, műzlit és édes süteményt szolgált fel. A szobánk az Etna csúcsára nézett.
Nem volt ilyen.

A vendéglátó Gabrielle - roppant kedves, lesi az utazók kívánságait. Minden nap rendbe teszi a szobát, takarítja a fürdőszobát. Viszonylag jól felszerelt szoba (bidé, hűtőszekrény, légkondicionáló, sőt dugóhúzó - ki ne hagyja senki az etnai lankákon termett bort!). Minőségi anyagokat használtak az egykori óriáslakás négyszobássá alakításához, csak a kivitelezés balul sült el. A fürdőszoba már penészesedik, illetve a fal felszívja a vizet, továbbá az ajtókeret már ki akar dőlni, ezt sebtapasszal ideiglenesen orvosolták. Minden nap reggelire egy-egy frissen sült, finom, illatos croissant várja a megpihent embert. Kapszulás kávé és frissen főzött tea a host által. Közel a vasút, busz, metró. Az ágy nagyon puha - ha valaki ezt szereti, imádni fogja a helyet.
A lakás egy rendezett lépcsőházban található, de a környék horror, mint józsefvárosi Kissalétrom, Népszínház utca. Drogos afrikaiak henteregnek az utcán, mellettük léhűtő arabok támaszkodnak a kirakatoknál. Az utca túloldalán a Kőbányai úti raktárboltokhoz hasonlóan kínaiak kínálják portékáikat, gyakorlatilag éjjel-nappal. Egyébként az óváros kivételével az egész városban jellemző a szemét.
Többen kritizálták a reggelit. Valószínűleg így, ezzel a kínálattal táplálkoznak a helyiek. Azaz tényleg csak néhány szelet felvágott és sajt áll rendelkezésre, melyet a 6-8 vendég helyett egyedül is el tudnék fogyasztani. Cserében fillérekért jóllakik az ember a közeli piacon.
Két dolog volt még zavaró. Az egyik a lakás csengője. Mintha a koncentrációs tábor rabjait alvásmegvonásra ítélnék, olyan berregése van. Egymás mellett van a villanykapcsolóval, véletlenül ezt nyomják meg. A másik a szomszédok állandó zajongása, illetve a lift zörejei. Végül 3 éjszaka után hozzá lehet szokni.

Il posto era ammobiliato molto bene, le camere erano pulite e per due persone anche molto spaziosa. Il condizionatore e il phon che veniva fornito funzionavano bene e il balcone aveva una bella vista. La colazione ha superato di gran lunga le mie aspettative, vi erano una vasta varietà di cose tutte molto buone. La posizione non è lontana dal centro, inoltre per i nostri bisogni avere avuto la stazione così vicina è stato di grande aiuto. Infine vorrei aggiungere che i prezzi erano giusti, infatti abbiamo pagato poco considerando che abbiamo prenotato con poco preavviso.
Il portone principale era poco riconoscibile e la strada era frequentato da persone poco raccomandabili. Abbiamo avuto problemi con la porta della nostra doccia (che non si chiudeva bene). Per il resto tutto è andato bene.

There was a really adorable host who served us breakfast. Also, the breakfast itself was really nice and tasty. The room and the bathroom were clean and very comfortable.
The street is too loud but it’s not a problem of the host, it’s just something external that we didn’t like.

Gabriella is a great host, providing breakfast every morning, serving the best croissant and cappuccino. She is super kind, nice, and accommodating. The B&B should be preferable for any family traveling with kids. Considering the price, I think this B&B is one of the best options to stay in Catania. What's more, the location is ideal for us because we prefer to travel via train to several adjcent small towns such as Taormina, so you can walk to the Catania Centrale station in 2-3 minutes. It was lucky for us to find this superb B&B.
Almost nothing. If I have to tell just one thing, the lift is a bit small, but it's totally fine.

This is our first year of using B&B accommodations and they seem to get better and better.
Symposium B&B, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.
The friendly staff (Gabriella), the excellent service provided, the comfort of home, clean and spotless, the great location within walking distance to town centre, Piazza and Services and the size of the rooms are unbelievable.
We will definitely be booking the accommodation again and Highly recommended. JTA Sydney Australia

Very close to the railway station. Clean and bright room, very comfortable bed and a good breakfast. Friendly staff. You can get the keysame from a security box.
The wi fi password was absurdly long and illegible.

Very pleasant and helpful host. An excellent breakfast with nice option was provided. The room was very clean and as comfortable as could be expected given the severe weather during our stay (35-50 mph winds with 3-4 inches or perhaps more of driving rain - a Mediterranean tropical storm in winter). Location so close to the train/bus station was truly a blessing. We were grateful to be safe and dry.
Only the weather!

The staff was very helpful and friendly.
The breakfast was nice and plentiful.
We had to check-out earlier than breakfast would be served and Gabriella gave us some croissants to take away, which was very thoughtful.
The descent size.
There was a lot of noise from the roundabout.
When walking around the hotel, you got an unsafe feeling.

Place is nice. Sea view. Basically it's 5 bedroom flat with own bathrooms. Location and good and bad. Close to rail station but noisy. Aircon.
Noisy at nights due to rail station night food parties. Day due traffic. Need to keep windows close. Breakfast option can be better.

Breakfast was good. Server was accommodating. Room generally good. Could have had facial tissue as well as just toilet paper. Good location near train and bus stations.
Rough exterior location although near train and bus location. Host never truly identified himself (or herself?) Never showed up at location. Only identified him/herself with Symposium. Like a ghost.

Very nice breakfasts, room quiet big and comfortable :) Hotel is near bus/train station, 15-20 minutes to town center, so if someone travels without car it is really helpful :)
Unpleasant neighborhood.
