We had wished we were in the main building with some sort of balcony or view but our building was still maintained fairly well and we had a lot of space in our room! We really loved the area since it was very close to the cable car and to the historic city center. We also really loved the hotel for its views, terrace and views. It is important to note parking must be reserved ahead of time! And it is a short but hilly walk. There may also be a long walk to your room so that’s another note! The staff were all very friendly and helpful! ##### Kathryn Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Carolyn Aug 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Neat and clean, but unfortunately the pool was closed when we arrived after a long day of travelling and would have loved to have a swim. ##### Carolyn Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Shirley Aug 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beds are so comfortable. ##### Shirley Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Graham Sep 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent location for the bus station and a short walk to the town centre. Lovely pool area. Very clean. Sicilian night highly recommended. Buffet and food very good. Lots of steps around the hotel but the whole town is very hilly! Those with mobilty issues may struggle. Over-all, a very good hotel and enoyed our stay in beautiful Taormina 😍 ##### Graham Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nathan Aug 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel is within 10 minutes walk to the centre of Taormina, and a 2 minute walk from the bus terminal, with a direct service to & from Catania Airport from the termina. Once in the town, there is an abundance of shops, bars and options to dine out. ##### Nathan Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The pool is really nice addition, breakfast buffet was outstanding.

Best pool breakfast above and beyond It’s right near the bus stop so you can actually catch the bus or one euro from the train station which we did not know a very simple location. Easy to walk to the centre. The staff were incredible.

We were traveling with a 2 year old and found the elevators quite cumbersome because you had to take multiple elevators to get to different areas. Also, didn’t love that there was no shallow end in the pool, only a small ledge around the pool. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0ba581f5-5880-4248-a9a5-9cf08ac5af39-1754660636989.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Elissa Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### anthony May 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Alessandro Is the best bar tender in Italy, hands down.

However, it can use updating. My room was clean but the door was pilling and the furniture had stains/evidence of leaks from years of usage. Service was great and location is convenient. ##### Xavier Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer Oct 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good hotel. We had a great corner unit with spectacular view of the water and sunrise. The pool area was nice but I thought I would use the pool during my 4 day stay but never got a chance as the pool was cold and it didn't get much sun in the afternoon because it faces east. The hot tub was cold and the whole pool and hot tub area close at 6pm which was too bad because if the hot tub was actually hot it would be good to be there in late afternoon or in the evening. The hotel is not very modern and the rooms a little dated but in general I think it was a great hotel and about a 10 min walk to the main town. They have parking close by for 20 euro per day but it was not easy to find this hotel in the beginning. Google maps was taking us to a different spot and we had to find a small sign on the street saying to snap a pic of the QR code for the instructions on how to get there by car. When you park it is very confusing how to get to the main reception, you are just walking up these stairs, walking into the building through the pool area, take the elevator to the second floor which you exit in the patio area and walk across the patio to the entrance of the reception. Staff was friendly and they helped us get to the parking area which was in the property next door. Breakfast was big but there wasn't that much variety day to day. I would recommend to stay here but make sure to get a nice waterview room. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0e579bb8-2967-4950-9d6a-72255b7365a6-1761010751732.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3b39f05b-4230-4034-9717-8cfa0a53b41c-1761010751909.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/05e21aa3-831e-429e-8f0e-dec35007d6f8-1761010751698.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/588876f5-7515-4132-8ea7-da9a6470d1d6-1761010853870.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Siqun Mar 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice hotel Comfortable hotel to stay with a nice ocean view. Room is large and well furnished. Parking is difficult especially with luggages. ##### Siqun Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Hasan Aug 15, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The hotel is in a very good location but driving there or renting a car is not a good idea. No where to park, even if you park at hotel's parking paying 20 Euro a day still getting in and out of the area is terrible. By the time we arrived at the hotel and found the hotel entrance it took us 2 hours and very stressful. Hotel is in a very nice location and there is a nearby bus/coach stop if you need excursion. Staff is good but the hotel definitely needs updating. doors, bathroom parts are falling apart. There is too much noise, the noise from the bar/restaurant entertainment being the main contributor. There is no sound insulation so you will hear everything inside next door room and outside. Breakfast was good. ##### Hasan Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas Apr 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The best place to stay ##### Thomas Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Donna Jun 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort Air condition didn’t work well and was SO NOISY!

It isn’t modern but I’m glad it isn’t, for the price it’s excellent. cable car to the beach and it’s at the bus station with lots of options including tour buses, it’s quite an event going up & down the winding roads on them! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f82b3a70-5788-4bbb-bef4-803961db4d7a-1747734080137.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/686729f1-f278-4eb1-bc8b-8c140b85e462-1747734079849.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5d46af39-8bc5-4703-9faf-1b493a7e85c7-1747734126726.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fa8e95c7-2575-4496-9ee3-c99264cda090-1747734125900.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lindsey Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth Nov 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We were Lucky enough to get a room with a veranda!
