Just wow.

I've been to many hostels in my life, but without eveb one hesitation - this is the nicest looking hostel from all of it. It has a brilliant style and it looks like every cm of the place is deeply thought through. Well done guys! The only teeny tiny thing that I might suggest is to put one more shelve in the ladies bathroom - there is not much space for the toiletries when there are a couple of girls in there at once.

One of the best hostels I've stayed in

So, this place is pretty new and has been designed properly as a hostel from the beginning rather than just a converted flat with a few bunk beds in each room. It's just off the main road, but in a private gated courtyard-like area, so its central and quiet which is not normally possible. The outdoor area is perfect for chilling and meeting others, the bar is nice, and the rooms can be accessed either by the normal, standard indoor staircase or the huge impressive lit up white staircase on the outside via the balcony. My room was the 8 bed dorm but this was no problem as it is a huge room. The lockers are also huge but best of all, the beds are huge. If they were any wider they would be classed as a double. 120cm wide I'd take a guess at. Either way, bigger than any other hostel I've stayed at. The aircon was also great as it was remarkably quiet. No chance of someone being annoyed by the aircraft-like noises of other units I've had elsewhere. The bathroom, yep, still new too very nice and modern. Always clean too. The service? Incredible. It was the most comprehensive check in I've ever had by far. If anything, too much info upon arrival! Even if I had an obscure question, it could be answered. Oh, and there is a resident Labrador :) Downsides? I'm struggling to think of any. I'd have to nitpick. 4 Euros is a lot for a beer at the bar there. Personally I think if it was cheaper then it would encourage people to stay there for the evening. But still, overall: awesome

Das von supernetten und hilfsbereiten Geschwistern Alessia und Carlo sowie deren Freund Flavio geführtes Haus übertrifft meiner Ansicht nach alle Erwartungen eines typischen Backpackers - komfortable und vor allem breite Betten, großzügige Baderäume, sehr gut ausgestattete Küche, eine Bar, eine sonnigeTerrasse sowie insgesamt echt durchgestylte Innenarchitektur machen den Aufenthalt im The Yard Hostel in Catania super angenehm. Das im Preis inbegriffene Frühstück besteht mitunter aus Toastbrot, Butter, Marmelade, Instantkaffee etc. und reicht als Stärkung für die Erkundung der wunderschönen Stadt vollkommen aus. Ich konnte hier meine Wäsche waschen und in der Sonne trocknen lassen, was nach einer Tour mit den Fischern Nino, Luigi & Co. eine Notwendigkeit darstellte :-) Insgesamt gebe ich dem Hostel eine glatte eins!

Het is super schoon elke dag wordt er met zorg schoongemaakt. Het personeel is heel aardig en wanneer je vragen hebt dan helpen ze meteen. De tours regelen zij dus je hebt veel verschillende mogelijkheden. Het voelde alsof ik in een soort familie terecht kwam en dat is alles wat je nodig hebt op vakantie!
