Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, with a stunning sea view from the fantastic balcony. The room was clean and comfortable, but unfortunately overlooked the refuse store. The staff provided great service, from the cleaners to the manager. The location was conveniently near the bus terminal in Taormina, making it easy to explore. The dining experience offered authentic dishes and further enhanced by the great views. Overall, a memorable stay with some minor downsides.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were modern and spacious, and the views from the balcony were breathtaking. The service was top-notch, and the location was convenient. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the price was on the higher side.
The hotel has a convenient location right next to the bus station and offers lovely garden vistas. The rooms need updating, especially the bathrooms. Although my room had a put-up bed in an awkward spot with a poor view overlooking a refuse store, the balcony view of the convent below was a nice touch.
The hotel offers a mixed experience with comfortable rooms but some room inconveniences and excellent service. The location is convenient being close to the bus station, but the dining options were limited. Overall, it provides good value for money.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The room had a beautiful balcony where I could enjoy stunning sea views. The staff was incredibly helpful, and the location was perfect for exploring the city center and the beach. The dining experience was delightful with fresh orange juice, and the facilities were top-notch.
The hotel is in a convenient location, right next to the bus station, and just off the main bus terminal in Taormina. The rooms need updating, especially the bathrooms, but offer all necessary facilities. The service was attentive, from cleaners to managers, providing a range of useful amenities. The dining experience included some excellent fresh orange juice and a fantastic spread with great views.
The hotel is ideally situated near the main bus terminal in Taormina, offering pretty garden views. The rooms are cozy with working AC but lack a balcony. While the service from cleaners to managers is commendable, there's a need for improvement on providing codes directly. The dining experience is enhanced by fresh orange juice and great vistas, making it a delightful stay.
