3 day Catania visit

I was staying in Hostel Elefanti for 3 nights and it was great experience. Location is great. It is at the main squer (that can be a problem for someone because it can be loud at summer times and during festivals ) Room was big, clean and I share it with 7 other people. Staff was very nice and kindly, and they give me local tips. Bathrooms was no so clean and technickally correct. But in the end i wolud this hostel kindly recommended.
