I loved proximity to the walkable area, the views from the room, options to have the car parked which is a big problem in Taormina (price 25 euros per day).

Gorgeous building with lovely helpful staff and perfect location. We didn't realize there wasn't parking available and they organized somewhere to keep our car during our stay. Breakfast was yummy and the views were stunning. Right over the main street of Taormina.

This is a lovely hotel right off the Main Street in Taormina. I got a room with a little balcony which was worth it. The terrace was unfortunately closed and not sure why or for how long. Breakfast was good. Would stay again.

The hotel is in a fabulous location, just minutes from the pretty streets filled with shops and restaurants. We booked a sea view room which didn’t disappoint as we could also see Mt.Etna and the Greek theatre, a beautiful view that you could never tire off. The room was very clean and the beds comfortable, lots of storage and plenty of toiletries snd towels provided. The room included a mini fridge but could be improved by having tea & coffee making facilities also.
Breakfast was nice, with a lot of choice perfect if you have a sweet tooth. The decor around the hotel is dated but overall we were very happy with our two night stay.

The Hotel was at the centre of a lot of restaurant s& Shops. The atmosphere was very lively and entertaining.
Staff at reception were welcoming and helpful.
Breakfast was very nice and hotel was clean. The decor of the Reception area and other common areas was beautiful.
Room was a bit small and it was disappointing that the Terrace area was closed for repair as the view from up there would have been amazing.

Property was very dated but clean. It’s very central located. Walkable to any attraction and in the middle of shops and restaurants.
The only negative really was they have a beautiful terrace they could use for breakfast and they keep it closed. If I didn’t have a room with view( which I paid an extra €40 per day ) the only place to have a view was at the last floor from the bar. Which was only open in the evening.
Staff was very professional and accommodating with all our needs. Parking was also very convenient.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No parking available on site, long uphill walk dragging luggage was not fun, small shower with curtain I don’t care for, inconsistent hot water and no A/C was available during our stay in May, decent breakfast, old furnishings could use updating

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!

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.

Very convenient location. I would highly recommend a taxi to / from the train station or airport. But once checked in, you can walk to everything! The hotel is old and the A/C wasn’t working very well. There was a HORRIFIC noise from the plumbing that would drive you crazy if you were there for any extended period. But we spent very little time in the hotel & honestly loved this stay. It was so convenient & had all the basics.

Great location
There was a guy playing music at a bar below. I just knew that I was getting asleep before 12:15 when he stopped playing. That is the draw back from having a room with a balcony
