Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perfectly situated close to the sea, making it very accessible, especially for those with mobility difficulties or infants. The rooms, while basic, are quite large and kept clean. The staff is friendly and helpful, although they may try too hard to appear as a luxury hotel without fully delivering. The location offers easy access to the stunning town with a convenient shuttle service, but the overall appearance of the hotel is aging and would benefit from refurbishment. The dining options are decent but could use more healthy varieties. Overall, the hotel provides good value for money but lacks some modern facilities.
The hotel is in a convenient location, close to the city center, but the rooms and public areas look a bit tired. The rooms are spacious enough for a family with two children, yet the beds are not very stable. The service was not the friendliest, with staff directing me in a rude manner. The location is good, with easy access to the town center and nearby restaurants. The dining experience offers a satisfying variety of food but lacks a bit in the beverage options. The facilities are decent overall.
The hotel offers picturesque views of the bay with clean and comfortable rooms, though the noise from passing trains can be bothersome. The service is efficient overall, but some staff members may come across as unhelpful and arrogant. The location is described as beautiful and ideal for exploring Taormina, yet the limited availability of amenities like espresso can be a drawback. The dining experience boasts an abundant selection of English and continental dishes, with some areas needing improvement like the bland eggs. Overall, the hotel provides a great setting with certain areas that could enhance the guest experience.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with clean and comfortable rooms offering a great view of the bay. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making my visit enjoyable. However, the dining experience was basic and could be improved with more options. The location was convenient, with easy access to the seaside and a beautiful garden, but being close to the train station was a minor drawback.
The hotel welcomes you warmly upon entry, with basic rooms lacking some amenities like tissues and using cheap brown toilet paper. The staff appears polite and helpful, although there are concerns about maintenance and odd scheduling. The location is decent, despite the noise from the nearby busy road and train tracks. Dining options seem limited, with poor selection and quality. Overall, it's an okay place to stay with room for improvement.
The hotel has a charming seaside location with a variety of nice cheeses at breakfast. The rooms are nice, but a bit old-fashioned and tired-looking. The service was efficient, even though there were some communication issues. The dining experience was good overall but lacked some Italian authenticity. The location is convenient for exploring Taormina and Castelmola.
