A bit basic at the moment

We stayed in a family room. It was clean and beds were comfortable. Good air conditioning. However, there wasn't enough storage for clothes, so we lived out of our suitcases. Bathroom was dated with shower over bath, poor water pressure and temperature kept changing by itself. Breakfast was buffet and great variety and plentiful. Location great, close to the cable car and just off the Corsa Umberto for great choice of restaurants and shops. Staff is what makes this place, they were amazing, full of knowledge and so helpful.

Great stay

We had a great stay here, the staff was so helpful and service minded, they were very sweet. The room with balcony was very nice, simple, but clean and good standard. Location was also good, central, but quiet. Rooftop terrasse with the pool was a big plus! Would absolutely recommend!

Horrible! Booked 4 rooms for 3 nights in heart of summer and they had no air conditioning in rooms from 8am to 10pm. And they lie and mislead public by conning them into believing that their system was “down”. Bathrooms were dirty with mold and paint/tile chipped. Drains clogged so showers flooded rooms. Toilet flushers popping off walls. They advertise smart TV’s but connection was so weak that not even basic cable available. It’s in a great location, had a pretty pool deck, and decent breakfast but that’s about it! Whole place was one giant false advertisement

Peter

Liked: Staff & service
Staff was generally really nice and helpful. Breakfast was good with healthy alternatives to the sweets traditionally served for breakfast in the area. Rooms are small and the bathroom was worn with the toilet leaking (clean) water and a total lack of water pressure in the shower. The rooftop area is fine but the pool is a lot smaller than in the pictures. Public parking is 600 meters away, and stopping near the hotel to drop off your baggage is a challenge. Stop at the NH hotel, drop off luggage and then take the car to the parking. Do not drive down the little street of the hotel unless you have a relatively small car and you love reversing in very narrow streets with parked motor bikes on one side and a massive stone wall on the other :-). The hotel is not expensive so I'd say there is a reasonable balance between price and quality.

The property was good and the staff was excellent. Fabiana at front desk was hospitable, respectful and felt like she was family away from home. She has a great work ethic and was very helpful on all our questions. The think that we did not like about the hotel was that our shower floor was stained and looked pretty dirty. It felt very uncomfortable to take a shower in it.

Our stay here was terrible. The room was not as advertised. The bathroom was dirty with mold inside the shower, the shower did not drain properly so ended up standing in our own waste water. Some of the staff were not very helpful with our concern and basically told us there was nothing they could do. The outdoor pool area was worn out with a broken ladder which is dangerous. The only shining light was Vincenzo at the front desk who was very helpful. I would not recommend staying here.

Laura

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Positives included the hotel being in a great, central location - walk straight out of the hotel into the pedestrianised area of Taormina. Breakfast was also good, with a selection of fresh fruit, hot and cold food that you can eat either inside or in the garden. And the staff were friendly and helpful - reception available until midnight and out of hours emergency number provided. They also booked a taxi for us on our last day. Negatives include that the superior double room we booked was fairly small although the balcony was a good size, and the small bathroom was internal to the room with no window. Being internal meant the shower was a bit mouldy and the bathroom also wasn’t very clean when we arrived. We told reception about this and it was addressed but still wasn’t as clean as I would really expect a hotel bathroom to be. We had stayed in two other locations in Sicily before this hotel and both rooms were much cleaner. There is also limited control over the air conditioning - temp can be set but not fan speed etc. it would have been nice to have an individual air con unit in the room that we could control.
