The hotel has a great location. Our room was decent size with a somewhat smaller bathroom, but overall nice. Expect classic, a bit outdated interiors - but all clean and fine. Breakfast was very nice and staff very helpful. My only comment is about safety - we could enter the reception area multiple times (where room keys are easily reachable) with nobody at the desk. Overall, I can recommend the hotel and was happy there!

This hotel is beyond worth the stay! My husband and i stayed there for two nights and we fell in love with everything from the service to the people, they were just so hospitable and i can not say enough about the breakfast.. the best from all our stays in Sicily. We stayed in the suite and the room is was beautiful and the terrace view was beyond.. we loved it!! They do not have parking for cars included, but they do have two parkings in front of the hotel and with an extra charge and if your lucky to find it available its yours.. we were lucky and for 30.00 a day we parked our car literally in front of the hotel across the street. Thank you for making our 34th anniversary one to never forget.

This property had many good points but a few bad points too. The good points are: Very clean all around the property, rooms cleaned daily and towels and sheets changed regularly. Lovely garden overlooking the sea with tropical plants. Excellent breakfast served in the garden each morning, delicious pastries and bread as well as some hot food. Breakfast staff very friendly and helpful. Excellent location. The hotel is a 2 minute walk from the bus station and a 4/5 minute walk to the town centre. The hotel is painted a bright red colour which makes it easy to spot on arrival. We could spot it from many locations around Taormina! The bad points are: 2 flights of steps down to the property with no sign indicating where the reception is. We had to direct many new guests to the right place. We are able bodied and did not have a problem, but others did, and there was not always help available to carry luggage. The lifts did not stop at our floor level so we still had to carry our cases up some stairs. We chose a balcony room which we were told was small on arrival. The room was adequate but a few shelves above the desk would have made a big difference. However, the bathroom was tiny, probably the smallest bathroom I've come across in a hotel. There was a step up to the toilet and shower which could be unsafe, and the gap between the shower and sink as you went up the step was small so larger people may have a problem. Overall, a lovely holiday, Sicily is beautiful.

It’s easy to find just steps away from the cable car. It’s inconvenient walking distance to plenty of great restaurants and shops. We had a patio view of the water. That was amazing. Breakfast is very nice even offered champagne.. I would highly recommend this hotel.
