The staff were really courteous, efficient and helpful. Without hesitation they agreed to check-in well before scheduled time and check out a bit later. The room and bathtoom was spacious, linen was clean, the view of the sea especially at sunrise was beautiful. The location was just across the railway station and bus terminus, and 15-20 minutes walk from the city centre and major tourist spots.

My first impression was that the neighborhood was 'crummy'. However we returned late night and never felt unsafe. It may not be possible to allow cooking, but at least a microwave would be really helpful. Pillows were too soft.

We booked a triple room with bathroom which was spacious. The room had a small balcony with a clear view of Mt Etna. The room had a small fridge. The included breakfast was generous and Gabriella was very attentive. Comfortable bed with 2 good pillows per person. Walking distance (about 10 minutes) to the Duomo and central shopping area

High carb breakfast; no protein. No fridge in the communal dining room/kitchen area. We would have liked some milk for tea and coffee which was provided in the communal kitchen/dining area. Milk was only available at breakfast time.

The B&B is super well located for when, e.g. you want to travel early by train to Catania Airport in the morning. The room is quiet, though located at a pretty busy roudabout. The location is easy to find and is very clean. As mentioned earlier, the B&B is perfect for a stop over, e.g. on your way to the airport (as we did coming from Messina). And the landlady is extremely helpful and kind.

We didn't have any negative remarks.

Gabriella was a lovely host, very responsive in the lead up and helpful with directions etc. She also prepared a lovely continental breakfast for the morning. Great location, right next to train station - perfect if you’re looking for a quick stay before going to Taormina or the other more touristy locations. Bed was very comfortable, and room was equipped with everything you need (including aircon, wifi, fridge, ensuite bathroom etc). Great value for money.

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.

The staff was very helpful 😊 Self check in was easy. The B&B was 3 minutes walk from the bus and the train station and 16 minutes walk from the city centre. Not a great neighborhood, but in a central road with lots of lights, so we never felt any fear (lot's of little restaurants and people passing by all the time also). The room was spacious with everything you needed Breakfast was good.

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

The host was very friendly and served a very good breakfast. Our room was very comfortable, somewhat spacious and quite clean. The B&B location is superb and makes travel very convenient due to being very close to the bus, railway and metro stations.

Room environment was very hot and humid which made our overnight stay slightly uncomfortable.

Excellent location – very convenient. Gabriella (owner) is absolutely lovely and very helpful; we were very grateful for all the help with early check-in as well as the explanations/directions/instructions provided.

The location is a bit busy, so maybe for light sleepers, it would be good to inform the owner in advance for the allocation of a bedroom that is far from the main road.

Great location for catching a train.The accommodation is at the side of the kebab shop, across the roundabout from the station. It's very easy to miss, communication was great, and Gabrielle was in contact via WhatsApp. The towels were very crisp and clean. The room was very comfortable.

The breakfast was cake and pastry based, and no fruit, which would have been nice.
