The staff was warm, welcoming and extremely helpful anytime we needed anything, which was quite a few times. The property is clean, beds are comfortable, the location is very central, but the rooms were never noisy. Although we didn’t use it, the rooftop deck and pool area was pretty and clean. The breakfast area and courtyard were well maintained and pretty. Two small critiques: there were no towel racks in our room, which made it difficult to hang towels; the AC would switch off if you opened the balcony door, and to get it back on you had to ask a staff member.

Just had a fabulous 4 night stay. From the moment we walked into the hotel, all staff were so welcoming and you could just tell they were proud to work at the hotel. Rooms were clean & tidy, breakfast was fresh with plenty of choice. The pool and roof terrace with spectacular views was the icing on the cake. It’s located in the perfect spot just off the Main Street with everything in walking distance.

The staff here are friendly and helpful! The location is tough since parking is not available for those driving to the hotel. I had to hire someone they recommended to take my car to park away. It was a pretty easy process but after he picked up the car, I had to lug big luggages to the hotel on the street for 2 minutes. Not too bad. The room is very small and nothing fancy but mostly clean. The breakfast is not the best Italy had to offer, a bit below what you get at a Hampton Inn free breakfast in my opinion, The location is good as you're in the center of town and can walk to all the main streets and the square and such very quickly. Overall I would stay here again.

The hotel is located on level above Corso Umberto nearly impossible to access for vehicles but valet service was excellent. Many steps to get down to and up from Corso Umberto tough going. Rooms are small with limited storage. We did have some flooding from the bathroom above due to occupant not facility and staff responded well.

The hotel does NOT look like the pictures. The hotel is not well maintained, it needs a major facelift. The rooms are tiny, the pool area is not the nicest, the balcony is small and every time you open the sliding door, the air conditioner shuts off. This to me was not a hotel, more like Airbnb, other than breakfast (which was the same everyday), there was no where to have a drink, get water... if they give you bottles of water for your room you have to pay for it. Overall the location was great, it was good to have a pool but it definitely does not look like the pictures.

(Measured to Taormina standards) you get excellent service for an affordable price. From the accessibility of the hotel through the helpfulness of staff all way to the quality of the breakfast, everything was top notch. I have been to far less popular places paying the same kind of money for similar or even less service. Just one more thing which may not seem to be important but it truly is: there is enough room in the shower to bend down for the soap when you dropped it…

Room was clean,but limited storage for a weeks stay.No bar,pool area disappointing.Breakfast average,little variation.Overall hotel needs refreshing and money spent to upgrade rooms and facilities.The biggest asset of this hotel is the staff who were very helpful and friendly.
