Excellent location close to all the action, great for solo travellers. As other reviews mentioned the sounds of the night life do make it up to the water facing rooms but quiets down after 11pm. Staff were helpful. Breakfast was simple but great.

Property was nice but a little dated. Staff was nice and breakfast was good. We booked this hotel over one we liked better because it listed air conditioning but it was not working, they said they don’t turn it on until June. Extremely loud music from the bar both nights until around midnight made it difficult to sleep.

The hotel has good bones and in its day must have been rather grand. Today it is a well-located three star solution though tired. Central air, off for the season, left us struggling to be comfortable.

Great hotel in a prime position
This hotel was in an excellent location for exploring Taormina, especially being able to access the back door which led right out to the Corso Umberto! Staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke good English ,which was helpful to us. Our room was a good size with plenty of storage and the adjoins bathroom was quaint, although the shower was a bit dated. Everything was very clean and housekeeping was efficient. The little balcony overlooked the sea in the distance and although we could hear music from local bars and restaurants it wasn’t invasive. The buffet breakfast was good and plentiful. The only disappointing thing was the airport shuttle which was on the website at €50 each way. Staff were amazed at this price when we showed them and we had to pay €140 for a private taxi.

Loved it! Thank you for a great stay
I really enjoyed my stay and thought it was great value! Location is impeccable and literally 70m from the central square of Taormina. Staff was super polite and helpful whenever I needed help Overall very clean throughout with a stunning rooftop bar on top of the hotel. Rooms are a bit “vintage” but that gives it a better vibe anyway.

Great location once we found the hotel. Lots of dining areas in walking distance. Great view from rooftop bar. The only minor drawback was no power point in the bathroom and only one mirror in the bathroom. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the staff were very accommodating.

This place is a real gem - but unassuming at the same time. Its an Art hotel and the artwork didn't always suit my tastes but everything else was amazing....great price, buffet breakfast included, really polite/helpful staff and a cool roof top bar with amazing views over the whole town. And the best thing, their secret backdoor exit lead right down into the centre of town! Perfect!

Right in the centre of Taormina, excellent location. Staff very friendly. Building is a little dated, but still worth the money. Also worth paying a little more to have a balcony with sea view and stunning views of Etna.

I really enjoyed my stay here. It’s above the Main Street of Taormina and about a 15 minute walk from the bus station (uphill!) The hotel has a lovely reception with 24 hour staff. The decor is perhaps a little outdated but I found it charming and more importantly, it was well maintained and clean. I loved the wardrobe in my room. Bed was comfortable and the room is air conditioned so perfect in the summer heat. The shower was excellent. The hairdryer was the standard “tube” style common pre 2000 so bring your own if that matters to you. My balcony was so cute, looking out towards the sea. It was overlooked but I didn’t mind that. The electrical outlets in rooms are awkwardly with light switches, so if you use an adapter it keeps turning the lights on. A very minor and non problematic gripe. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great, a selection of breads and cakes, plus cold cuts, yoghurt, cereals and juices. I would definitely stay again!

The Hotel itself was okay very clean and staff were very friendly. However are room was not so good. It would have been okay for 1 or 2 nights but it was terrible for a week. Room 307 is dingy noisy and has the smallest shower in the world. The curtain didnt go fully around or to the floor so every shower the whole bathroom was flooded. Because if noise we asked to be moved but that was a NO too busy. Didnt bother to complain about bathroom because of this, but it really isnt a good room. Dont let this put you off staying here but if offered the dungeon with smallest shower in the world, tell them a definite no no. Unless your happy to clean floor everyday and have the curtain stick to your bum.
