This is so near the Railway Station that it should get extra points just for that.
Any place that is labelled “backpackers” is a little susceptible to the influence of whoever is there at the time. If those people are - as they were for me - just trying to go by at the cheapest or most accelerated way to deal with what is arguably the most stunning site in Sicilia, then you’ll have a lovely time.
And if they ain’t, then this will also be good. Well designed. Lots of common space. Etc.
The rooms were quieter than the usual would be. I was next to one of the toilets and there was something (something useful) that set off a fan noise, but, this is what you get in this kind of environment and this was fine. Everything was modern and worked well.
Breakfast worked really well, they just keep loads of good stuff in stock and you can have it when you want, please clean up anyway.
I am what I would call a long term solo traveller. I do a month or two every year around Europe or further away (then I go back to work). I have been in so many places like this that turned out to be hard work. Not here. This was really good, thanks to the staff/boss and that everything is new, works, does as advertised, etc.
This is an Air BnB listing, and that’s different. But if you’re doubting, look at the price here and take it from me that this is definitely top level of “backpackers”. And say yes. ‘Cos was great.
