This hotel was comfortable, clean, and in a perfect location. The staff at the front desk were wonderful and very helpful. Our son got sick while we were there and they were extremely kind and helped us line up a doctor’s visit. Would definitely stay here again if we return to Taormina.

The property was very well located and you could pop right out onto the main shopping street. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. However this hotel is in need of some maintenance. The bathrooms smelled of mold. The room was also not the cleanest. There was also trim ripped off around our door. Parking is also super inconvenient. However, I think that is the case for most hotels in the area. The free breakfast was also not very good.

Amazing staff and excellent location to all the shopping and restaurants. Very good breakfast options and a wonderful outdoor courtyard to enjoy morning coffee and breakfast. Can’t say enough about how well we were treated and the restaurant recommendations provided. Will be back to Taormina and will definitely be staying at the Hotel Piccolo Giardino.

The location and staff were excellent. Being close to the main pedestrian street it did have considerable noise at night and the city began "waking up" around 5:30, which shortened our sleep. Breakfast was also pretty good.

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.

We thought the overall stay was okay. We had two major issues including our safe that was not working that we reported the first day and nothing was resolved. The second issue being our AC was making all kinds of loud noises whether it was on or off. When we reported this to the maintenance staff, nothing was made of it. Made the nights at times unbearable. Would still recommend the stay, but our experience was poor at times.
