“La Locanda Del Centro Storico sits right in Catania's heart, a location appreciated by many visitors; plus, the host goes the extra mile, even providing earplugs for light sleepers. While some rooms show their age with thinner walls and older mattresses, the overall cleanliness and convenient kitchen access stand out. For a solo traveler seeking a central, budget-friendly base, this spot is a solid choice.”
