Simple but clean rooms. The location is perfect: near the main street Corso Umberto, and with a big roof terrace with great views over Mount Etna, the Ionian Sea and the old Teatro Greco. Overall, staff was friendly and willing to help. However, communicating in English was somewhat difficult. More

Centrally located in the middle of town, with a superb view over the sea, mount Etna and the Greek theater, but very noisy in the evenings due to live music from various surrounding bars (once until after 3:00 in the morning). You will also acoustically "participate" in the toilet "visitations" of all adjacent hotel rooms, and will be woke up... More

It just needs to be said once again. WHAT A VIEW. From our balcony (where we spent most of the time), we could see from the Teatro Greco to Mount Etna. Just staggering. As for the hotel, the other commentators are right; it's a little dated, we have no idea if the AC worked because we slept with the doors... More

The servicer personal was not there, they took our towels from the balkoney and when we asking why, they have no answer for us , but they told us they will ship them home to us, six weeeks later they never heard about us, do yoy think we get any towels? Correct, we get no towels And we will never... More

This hotel needs to be updated. Our room was large for a European room, but we had no air conditioning. When we asked about it, we were told it was broken. The breaker box was outside our room and they were all turned off. The weather was nice enough to sleep with the doors open, [windows would not open], but... More

Hotel Vello d`Oro has a perfect a little oldfashioned quiet athmosphere with fine and pleasant personal both in reception and restaurant. Besides a great view from rooms and roofterrasse to sea, Greek Theatre, tower, church and Etna as well. Inger og Knud Erik, Hårby, Denmark More

The Vello D'oro is not a great hotel but it is in a central location and is clean and stocked with odd but interesting artwork. The lift wasn't working and neither was the air conditioning. No internet. The hotel website advertises that every room has a safe for which you must request a key, but you will find on checking... More

I agree with most of the reviews of this hotel. We were there in late September, so the weather had cooled and we did not need air conditioning, so I can't comment on that. Our room was clean and very simple, and that was not a problem because when we were in our room, we spent much time on the... More

Good stuff first: The view is out of this world from some of the rooms (we were lucky enough to get one with a great balcony) you can see everything from the ampitheatre on your left, the Piazza below all the way to Etna on your right (including the orange lava at night). We were gobsmacked by the views from... More
