Liked: Great location close to the city center. The B&B was absolutely lovely, spotlessly clean, and the couple running it extremely friendly and helpful. Listen to their advice where to go for drinks and dinner! :)Loved the place and would definitely return next time in Catania!
Disliked: The street below the guest rooms is quite busy until late at night and it's audible. This did not bother us, but if you have a very light sleep this might be the one negative point for you.

Liked: christinas and robs place was very charming, we felt like home! the room was great, we liked the high ceiling and lovely decoration as well as the balcony and the nice common area. the b&b is perfectly located near to the fish market and the city centre.
Disliked: everything was ok, but the surrounding is a little noisy, which is usual in the streets of catania. getting there with a car is a bit tricky.

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!
