Liked: This bed & breakfast is like a home away from home..it is very nicely furnished and decorated and only a few steps away from the castle and the fish market. Rob, the owner, is a very friendly and helpful host and welcomes you like a friend. He gives tipps and recommendations and even has a hitlist of his favourite restaurants in Catania ready. You have a big choice for breakfast and Rob is using good quality food! I highly recommend 5 balconi!!!

Disliked: The only thing you have to know about 5 balconi is that it is located at a busy street. Just bring ear plugs for the night and you'll be fine.

Liked: We stayed for 2 nights and really liked B&B. The owner was very nice and hospitable. He gave us many useful tips. Breakfast was also very nice and I could say, it was the best breakfast for this price from all breakfasts which we had in Sicily. Location was amazing, close to many main attractions, good restaurants and bars. It was also very safe. I'd definitely recommend this guesthouse to all travellers. I'm sure u'll like it a lot!

Liked: Rob- the owner was amazing, the place itself was charming, the breakfast was reaally nice (fresh croissant from the nearby bakery e.g. and not the packed ones bought in carrefour as we had in another B&B).Rob was very helpful with all of useful information about Catania- places to go,see, etc. for sure if I am back in Catania will spend some time there!

Disliked: I have no complaints.
