Location and price make this hotel attractive. Ask for a room with access to one of the terraces overlooking the sea. Splendid view and generally quiet, though other people might be on the terrace. Nonetheless, adequate space for everyone to maintain privacy. Don't expect anything fancy. There are no refrigerators in the rooms. Good location for climbing to Castel Mola.

We booked this hotel through our trip arranger. Best thing was the stuff, very nice, spoke good English and were very helpful! The room was simple, but got very, very nice view over the city to the ocean. Best view I have ever seen anywhere. No minibar, but we could live without it. No kingside bed, two single beds that...

Positive: Very good location and good price (via booking.com secret deals). Option to park the car nearby for 5 EUR (which is good price in Taormina). Negative: Surcharge for everything (ex. Real coffee). Check-out is too early (10 A.M.). No fridge (mini bar) to keep drinking water cool. Staff and information book highlights "NO we can't" instead of "What can... More

Myself and my husband stayed here in early april Mar31-April3 and we were very disappointed. The hotel was nothing like the pictures on the site. The swimming pool area was totally run down and the pool was filled with green water. A real mosquito nest! Not a very pleasant sight from the breakfast dining area.We had booked a superior room...

We really liked this hotel. The location is excellent. To get to the hotel from the bus station just walk uphill until you see the arch to Corso Umberto on your left. Pass it and keep going uphill. You will see an arch on the right. Walk through it and keep walking up the street past the church to the... More

We stayed in Taormina for one week in july. And we chose this hotel partly because the good rewievs by the Tripadvisor. But the reality was quite different: althought the hotel had the good location near the Taormina center, the hotel itself was in poor condition. The room we had was quite small, the balconies were too small and didn´t... More

Myself and my boyfriend stayed here for a week in June and had a great time. The hotel could probably do with a face-lift but it is definitely better than a 2 star. The rooms are clean and the maids cleaned our room every day we were there. We didnt opt for a balcony sea view but ended up getting... More

When we arrived at the Hotel we were welcomed with the news that we needed to pay and extra EUR10/day to switch on the AC even though our booking clearly did not indicate so.
