Welcome to the Ostello degli Elefanti, Catania’s most central hostel.
We are situated in picturesque Baroque heart of Sicily, beneath the slopes of the majestic and pulsating Mt. Etna and by the breaking waves of our amazing sea.
"La dolce vita" Hospitality and Culture

Immerse yourself in the art and culture of our splendid town, and delight in a sensory trip tasting our local cuisine!
From our strategic location you can visit the entire old town by foot with its characteristic markets and reach all outside destinations with extreme ease.
Revel in the cultural and social life of our city and our beautiful hostel, located in a palace that dates back to 1600 - one of the oldest in the city. The baroque architecture will fill your eyes with beauty, arancini and cannoli will fill your stomach and the Sicilians will fill your heart with their smiles.
And if there wasn’t enough beauty for you on the outside, we’ve also brought it inside.
During your stay in the hostel our staff will advise you on your trip while you hang out with us and chat while sipping a cold drink or a coffee. We won’t be offended when you lose yourself gazing at the clouds and the angels of the five hundred year old frescos that adorn our ceilings.
Taste the unique experience of staying in a hostel unique in the world.
