These are kind people doing good in the world. It’s nominally a “hostel” but it's a higher caliber than the word implies. If you need to spend a night in Catania ahead of a flight, you can do no better.

The staff made the experience truly memorable. The beach is big and lovely, the breakfast plentiful, and the room, clean and sunny. But the mission-oriented and generous staff made the stay feel like a home away from home. They were inspiring.

È ovvio che non è un posto comune,non è un hotel di lusso, io viaggio da 25 anni per lavoro in tutto il Mondo, sono stato nei migliori 5 stelle e negli Hotel Indiani con topi nella hall della reception,insomma le ho provate tutte, qui al Beteya mi sono trovato bene,forse perché ho una mentalità aperta,dell'essenziale,non mi frega niente del lusso, quello che cerco è una camera pulita,un letto e una doccia, e qui c'è tutto, hanno spiaggia per gli ospiti dell'ostello,parcheggio,si può cenare bene a prezzo decente (non c'è scelta,quello che prevede il menù ti mangi), I ragazzi che gestiscono la struttura sono allegri e disponibili, le camere sono datate? Sì,ma non importa, c'è un condizionatore,bagno in camera e TV, c'è wi fi libero,insomma, c'è quello di cui si ha bisogno, non è un posto da fighetti, è un posto semplice dove io sto bene,quindi lo consiglio...

Great service.

Had only one night there. So to little to really judge. However. Personal was really nice and helpful and the beach wa fantastic. Can argue that the hotel itself is a bit tired. But it works.
