We stayy here in October 2011. Our room whilst small for a 4 star hotel was well appointed with a superb view up the Sicilian coast. The hotel service was excellent. The buffet breakfast had lots of choice and the food was very good. The gardens are extensive. A great pool with a bar and snack service but be aware... More

The positives - about a ten minute walk into the centre of Taormina so you can benefit from the quiet of the outskirts but have a nice stroll after dinner. The position overlooking the bay and sea is excellent. The room was clean. Unfortunately is the end of the positives! This hotel is very dated and is in real need... More

Negative points- The walls of the rooms are so thin that you can hear people next door breathing,using the toilet.. Rooms also very old style, in badly need of refurbishment. Swimminpool closes at 5.30, just when you want to use it more after coming from the beach, lots of steps to get to it too. Positive-Amazing view of Taormina from... More

Checked in last minute just by driving by. Were quoted €200 for the night. Found out the next day on booking.com that they were charging €300 for 3 nights!! Staff were really rude and completely unhelpful. I asked about an iron or ironing service and just got no and no again. No explanation. Came back again and asked a different... More

Beautiful view and good location. Few minutes from Porta Messina, close to funivia, next to the bus station. Excellent breakfast, nice pool. More

Majority of clientelle were around our age group, who during the day require some sort of refreshment, after morning breakfast the hotel was dead. you were unable to get any refreshments unless you went down to the pool. Which on a really hot day was not really enjoyable. It would have been nice to have been able have a coffee... More

We had a great time here. Very convenient for buses from the airport and great location for strolling into town and access to the cable car to the beach. Hotel was quiet, clean and comfortable. We upgraded to a sea-view room which was lovely. The breakfasts were brilliant with anything and everything you can imagine and they also have breakfast... More

The rooms in this hotel was rather worn out, but it was in walking distance from the center of Taomina, and the views from the patio (where we often had our breakfast) were great! We took the cheapest room rate, and got a room facing the parking lot. Also -there is a public road going right in front of the... More

The staff were friendly and the hotel was ideally located. Not suitable for people who don't like steps. 182 down to the pool which was quiet and very clean just what we wanted. Taormina beautiful but is very expensive. Restaurants were good except for La Grotta Azzurra Restaurant where the food was very expensive, poor quality, the staff did not... More
