    I had an amazing stay at this hostel! The value for money was excellent, with a cozy and comfortable room that had complete privacy and fantastic amenities. The location was perfect, right in the center of town, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful.

    The only thing that could be improved about the breakfast choices is the availability of milk for the cereal.

    Our stay at the Eco Hostel was incredible. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and friendly conversations. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and comfortable. We loved the unique decor of the hostel, especially the common space in the old theater. The beds were big and comfortable, with curtains for added privacy. We also appreciated the individual USB chargers for each bed. The location of the hostel was perfect, just a short walk to the city center and the famous Fish Market. We even had the opportunity to join the Etna trip organized by the hostel, and our guide Carmelo was amazing. The breakfast, although simple, was a nice start to our day. I highly recommend this hostel for its friendly staff, comfortable beds, and great location.

    There were a few minor drawbacks during our stay. The lack of a proper storage place for our luggage was a bit inconvenient.

    For the value we paid, the room at Eco was worth every penny. The double bed was incredibly comfortable and the added privacy curtain was a nice touch. The location was perfect, just a short walk to all the main attractions. The staff treated us like family, making us feel right at home.

    The hotel breakfast menu could use more variety.

    The staff was absolutely amazing and made my weekend stay even better. They were super friendly and always willing to help with any questions or concerns. the beds were also really comfortable and I loved having the curtains for added privacy. the location of the hostel was perfect, as it was close to everything I wanted to see and do in the city.

    The location of the toilets and bathrooms. They were downstairs next to the reception area, which made it a bit uncomfortable to use them at night if people were still hanging around.

    The hostel had a great common area with a variety of entertainment options like board games, table tennis, and a TV. It created a relaxed and fun vibe. the beds were comfortable and had curtains, providing privacy. the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. They even had a cute kitten roaming around, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. the hostel was conveniently located near the bus station for the airport shuttle and within walking distance of the city center. They even provided free towels and a glass of wine, which was a nice touch.

    That the bathroom and toilet were located downstairs, which was a bit inconvenient. It would have been preferred if they were on the same floor.
