The hotel it's a little bit old.

The location of the hotel is really good, Taormina is such an amazing spot to visit.

Breakfast is ok, but nothing to write home about. Wifi was very unreliable, which is rather odd. Not the fault of the Hotel, but the bar downstairs plays extremely loud, mediocre live music from 19:00 to midnight. This makes the otherwise amazing rooms with balcony and sea view a double-edge sword: if you don't mind going to bed late every night, get the balcony with view if you can, it's really nice. If you'd rather be sure you can sleep, this might not be for you. The staff is well aware and are doing what they can do mitigate this problem, but their hands appear to be tied.

Location is great, the view is amazing, the hotel and the rooms are also very nice. Staff was very helpful.

The furniture is very old and could use some renovation.

The location is very good, right in the middle of the action. The room is big enough and the AC works well, which is very important during summer days. Also the reception staff is very welcoming and overall we had a pleasant stay. The breakfast is not exceptional but there are plenty of options to choose from. The highlight was, of course, the panoramic view we had from the balcony!

The air conditioning did not work in the first night but was repaired quickly It would have been great if water was offered in the room and a fridge

The room was spacious with a fabulous balcony and view and the staff were friendly. The location was excellent.

Breakfast was OK, but not great. Slightly dated in furnishings etc Although the hotel has a bar and a terrace, all the residents went into the town hence it was lacking in atmosphere, which is a shame in some ways

Situated just a few steps down to the main square in Taormina. Nice clean large room, amazing views. Hotel finished with some beautiful art work. Hotel very quiet

Hotel felt like it did need a bit of TLC Staff at first seemed surly but soon warmed Rooftop bar was being redone so out of use this was not conveyed to us although other bar was open it was very dark and dingy. No facilities in room ie kettle fridge etc

Location was great Decor a bit dated although quirky not too everybody's taste Room bigger than thought it would be

The shower was difficult to use, constant loud music from below. The breakfast wasn’t that great but it was plentiful. The only real issue was the WiFi.

The terrace was the whole reason why I booked this place and it did not disappoint. The room was comfortable and clean and the lido with the shuttle bus was very good.

It’s a tacky hotel frozen in the 80-90’s with horrible decoration . Breakfast was really poor and you can hear live music till 12 pm, that’s ok if you’re on vacations but , every single night is the same repertoire . The poor guy hasn’t got voice . This city is amazing but try to avoid the week ends , too crowded . Hordes of people by the streets , all devouring pasta and pizza at the same hour … crazy! I think white lotus wasn’t good for this city .

The location is perfect , in the middle of the city. They take care ( after paying , of course) of your car when arriving. The city is on a hill so there are few park lots and a guy takes your car and give it you back if you need it . Ask the hotel 10 min before your arrival.

I asked for a quiet room but was given one next to the reception. However, the next day it was changed to 323 - perfect!

Perfect location. Wonderful staff.

Not the hotels fault but the place beneath it play live music until midnight each night. Got a bit sick of Mr Brightside and Wonderwall after 2 nights

Great location, really close to the centre of the Taormina town. We walked from the bus station and it was fairly hilly but the receptionist booked us a taxi for when we left which was super helpful. Balcony was great in the evening, good amenities.

Restaurant below had loud live musician until midnight. Not the fault of hotel. Very quiet after midnight.

Location with beautiful views. Lovely front facing balcony. Very good breakfast choices which can be enjoyed on outside terrace overlooking town below and sea view. Staff very good and accommodating

There is one BIG disadvantage which is probably not the hotel’s fault. There’s a bar right under the hotel. It has live music from 7PM UNTIL MIDNIGHT every single day. The singing is very loud and, honestly, awful. As well as the bar itself. They start with soft ambient music at 7PM, which is fine and you can still stay on your terrace and enjoy the view. But then their “party” starts and doesn’t finish till midnight. Rock music, pop music, drums… It really gave me a headache. To sleep, you must close the balcony door but even in this case you can hear everything, it just gets a bit less loud. Maybe something can be done about it

- Impeccably professional staff, polite, respectful, helpful. Just perfect. - I asked to change my room to get a better view. The managers did it for me, which I am very grateful for! - The view from the rooms on the 4th floor is breathtaking. Basically, you get your private view point. On the 2nd floor (where my first room was) it is less so. - The location is convenient, right in the center. - The hotel has shuttle buses to several beach clubs for a small fee of 16 euros. You get a return shuttle, a beach bed, a beach umbrella and even a welcome drink. - The room was very clean, the AC works well. - Breakfast is quite humble but still good for a 3* hotel. You get some cold cuts, 3 types of cheese, yogurt, boiled eggs, some fruit, a good choice of pastry, orange juice, coffee… etc

The location is really good, in a quiet area. The place was clean and the overall experience was really good!

However, elevator works only between the hours of 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. We arrived late and the elevator was not available so we had to carry luggage down a marble circular staircase. This hotel is not suitable for people who have problems walking as I do. Bathroom is spacious but there is a step to access it. The tub shower is a jacuzzi and again slippery and not friendly to those who need just a shower. In all fairness, I'm not sure if all rooms are the same. Before booking and if the individual has ambulatory issues they need to check.

The hotel was adequate and clean. Location is central to the town. It has a nice patio outside the room. my room had no view but other family members did.

Stairs and elevator usage. We arrived late and the elevator could not be used between the hours of 9 P.M. an 6 A. M. So we had to carry our luggage to go down to our rooms. Stairs are marble and windy. I'm 82 so it was a bit difficult. Even getting to the hotel was a bit hard because of streets, so we had to walk a bit. I do not recommend this hotel if you are not ambulatory.

It was a nice room. Clean and adequate. There was a nice patio attached to the room which was great. Not too much of a view. However, it was nice to sit outside, relax and enjoy the fresh air.

Bed was uncomfortable. Hard mattress plus noisy from the singing at night on the nearby restaurants. Couldn't close the windows as there was no A/C at this time of the year. Also needed something hot at the breakfast. Everything was cold.

Staff was helpful and courteos.

There is no parking, no refrigerator in the room and no kettle for making tea/coffee.

Location location and again location. Right in the heart of things and within walking distance of everything. It is highly recommended to book a room with a balcony overlooking the sea, the view is simply breathtaking. The staff is courteous and will always help with any questions.

Bar below property played VERY LOUD music every night until midnight!!! No umbrellas were placed on patio though we found some hidden at the end of our stay.

The hotel is set over five floors with reception on the fourth & the exit door onto Taormina’s Corso Umberto on the first. However, the hotel switches off the only lift between floors from 20.30 to 06.30 every day. I am unsure why they do this but returning after 20.30 & having to climb up three flights of stairs to collect keys at reception (you are required to leave keys when you go out) is unacceptable. While just about OK for us, we observed elderly residents struggling. If it really needs to be switched off, surely this can be done much later in the evening. While not the fault of the hotel, we share other reviewers complaints about loud music from an adjacent bar every night until after midnight. Be warned if you like to retire to bed earlier

The hotel is an excellent location right in the middle of Taormina. While rather dated, the room was comfortable, well equipped & immaculately clean. All of the staff we encountered were very helpful & the breakfast offering was very good

Staff are nice, but lack charm. It all felt very transactional.

Centrally located hotel with beautiful patio for sundowners overlooking Etna.

Breakfast was really poor in terms of what was offered ( very limited) and some areas of quality- hard boiled eggs were several days old

Good sized room, lovely roof terrace, great location- lift down to 1st floor for the street level
