My wife and I booked this hotel for 2 weeks via Thomson (TUI) who rated it 4*, the same as its official Italian rating. We left, disgusted, after 5 days. The positives: good location, great views and the rooms were clean. The negatives are too many to mention but to summarise: - an unmodernised 1960s/1970s style hotel which represents faded... more

Stayed for a week on the second leg of our honeymoon. (First week stayed at San Francesco al Monte in Naples which was wonderful) This wasn't wonderful but it was OK. Didn't mind the 183 steps down to the pool - and back up afterwards but as there are no facilities to make a drink in the bedroom (illegal apparently)... more

We returned just after a 11 night stay. only breakfast; Personal: very friendly; Room: superior room with sea view, bathroom showercap made bathroom wetty if using to much waterpressure - but clean - cleaning staff start at 8 in the morning "parlare" loudly so you do not need a waking call; Beds: good (hard) matresses; Pool = free fitness -... more

Stayed in hotel Miramare from 22 - 29 August with husband and 2 children (aged 12). I think we must have had the smallest rooms in the whole of Taormina (704 and 705) and also the blandest. Musterd yellow walls and a tomato red nylon bedpread greeted us and to say we were disappointed is an understatement. No artwork on... more

My husband and I are just back from a weeks stay in Taormina. The Miramare has a lovely pool with fantastic views and the hotel is very convenient for access to the towns shops and restaurants. The only drawback was that our bathroom had a very small shower and no bath. It's only a small thing, but if it's required,... more

Stayed at this hotel with my wife and two teenage daughters on B & B from the 9th August up to the 12th Aug. I was given room 200 which was the senior suite, two bathrooms and a verandah to die for!! The view from our terrance was absolutely stunning overlooking Letojanni reach and Isola Bella. The location is perfect,... more

On arrival I didn't like the room- I book a standard room but it seemed to be tiny and dark and looked even smaller because of the ceiling of the terrace as we had a view from the window. When I claimed at the reception I was provided with a free upgrade with a sea view. The personnel was nice... more

We stayed here for two weeks after we were moved from another hotel. Our rooms were very comfortable, spacious and extremely clean. The maids who came in daily were excellent, very friendly and always willing to chat. As were all the hotel staff in general, the waiting staff in the restaurant were brilliant and there suggestions for what to choose... more

Stayed here for a week on a package holiday with Thomson holidays on a half board basis.The trip from catania airport took approx 1: 30 mins but this was only because we were the last drop off. In saying that it gave you a good chance to see the neighbouring resorts of Giardini Naxos and Letojanni on the way which... more
