Guest Reviews
- Amorós (10/5): - Quisiera destacar especialmente la excelente atención recibida durante mi estadía en el hotel. Más allá de las instalaciones y el confort, lo que realmente marca la diferencia es la calidad humana y el profesionalismo del personal.
En particular, quiero reconocer a Pina, cuya amabilidad, predisposición y calidez hicieron que la experiencia fuera aún más especial. Siempre atenta a cada detalle, al igual que Alexandra y Valentina en el desayuno.
Es un placer encontrar personas que trabajan con tanta dedicación y vocación de servicio. Sin dudas, la atención refleja el nivel de excelencia y hospitalidad que distingue a este hotel.
Muchas gracias por hacer de la estadía una experiencia tan agradable.

- Katarzyna (6/5): - Very nice and helpful stuff. Very flexible. We were checked in couple of hours before as we had early flight. We also got a room with terrace and bathroom as we asked. We had a huge cacroach in bathroom. Instead of ordering a taxi, the hotel called some private transfer that was super pricy: 40 eur for 1,5 km ride.
- Andrea (7/5): -
- nathalie (9/5): Vue splendide un - La vue et l accès facile au funiculaire.
Très bon petit déjeuner. Rien
- Ann-Christin (9/5): -
- Camila (8/5): Excelente relación calidad/precio - Excelente ubicación a pasos del funicular y la bajada a la playa. El desayuno muy completo y abundante. El hotel es un poco viejo
- Alma (8/5): Rekommenderas varmt - Läget och utsikten! Välj rum med havsutsikt och balkong - det är så otroligt värt! Frukosten på terrassen är också svårslaget. Lite slitna rum, men det var rent och fräscht.
- Josephine (7/5): Goed hotel op prima locatie - De ligging is heel goed . Het personeel was zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het ontbijt was uitgebreid en erg lekker.
Her bed was prima. Goed matras. De kamer en vooral de badkamer waren erg klein. De douche in bad zat niet goed vast aan de muur.
- Suzie Irvine (7/5): Comfortable - Room was functional and clean. Bathroom was very cramped and poorly laid out. When showering the water sprayed all over the toilet and floor due to poor positioning of the shower.
- Elizaveta (10/5): - Шикарный вид, рядом с пляжем и в 50 метрах от фуникулера. Отличный завтрак. Есть своя парковка, но платная 15 евро. Все было отлично
- Mateusz (7/5): - Dogodna lokalizacja blisko plaży, kolejki linowej, marketów , paru restauracji, czystość w pokojach, miła i pomocna obsługa, sejf w pokoju, dźwięk szumu morza zza okna, parking dla auta, wygodne łóżko Hotel w mojej ocenie ma swoje lata świetności za sobą, tapeta schodzi i jest brudna w pokojach, beznadziejna mała łazienka, prysznic z dziwnymi bateriami, słabe śniadanie jak na standard włoski
- Hugo (7/5): - Sea view on some rooms and terrace Bathroom was a bit small, tight space to move
- Helena (8/5): We had great stay at the hotel, staff is awesome, place itself outdated, breakfast boring with same choices day by day - Location is amazing It is outdated, breakfast all the same every day..no options like muessli, soya yogurt,…
- Mark (4/5): - Lage und die Aussicht Das Zimmer und das Bad war nicht sauber. Die Kissen und Decken hatten Flecken und im Gang wurde geraucht.
- Christophe (3/5): Knowing that I would definitively not choose the same hotel - Well, this hotel should be renewed and upgraded to the level of current comfort standards to justify the price
Location is great but noisy because of the street in front of the hotel with quite heavy local traffic Noisy environment
Poor comfort
- Brigitte (8/5): -
- Marzia (8/5): - Mi è piaciuto davvero tutto. Unica pecca che ovviamente può essere corretta il rumore di notte, le stanze sono sulla strada e passa pure il treno sotto l'albergo. Basterebbe insonorizzare le stanze.
- JOHN (10/5): Very pleasant sea side views - Very friendly staff. Great breakfast. Parking is a little confusing but we got it done
- Elizabeth (5/5): Ideal location but needs improving. - The location - at the bottom of the cable car so the town was easily accessible without the noise. The property is a bit dated, but we were prepared for this from other reviews. Our main complaint was the lack of hot water. The shower and hand basin taps were either tepid or cold. Despite complaining each day and being told it had been fixed, there was no improvement.
- Day (8/5): A lovely little room with a great view of the sea. -
- Sarolta (10/5): - Csodálatos helyen helyezkedik el a Hotel. Szuper kedves a személyzet ☺️
- Katja (10/5): Great location with a great breakfast. - Fabulous location with a beautiful view of the water. Close to restaurants and the gondola. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choices.
Very helpful staff Very limited parking available for guests
- Teresa (10/5): -
- Marcin (7/5): - Superb view. More calm neighborhood then in upper Taormina. Could be more vegs on breakfast.

- Hans van Boggelen (9/5): Uitstekende plek aan de kust, naast kabelbaan naar hoge deel van Taormina - Prima kamer, maar niet uitzonderlijk. Maar we waren er buitengewoon tevreden mee. Goede locatie, vriendleijk personeel en een goed ontbijt met prachtig uitzicht over de zee
- FRANCISCO (7/5): - Banheiro, box muito apertado
- Sinem (8/5): Harika manzara - Otelin konumu cable car a yakın olması yemek yerlerine yakın olmasıyla çok cazip. Ama her şeyden öte o gün batımı ve gün doğumları her şeye değer. Kesinlikle balkonlu ve deniz manzaralı odada kalmalısınız. Kahvaltısı güzel karnınızı doyuracak şeyler buluyorsunuz. Temizlik istediğinizde ikiletmeden yardımcı oluyorlar. Çalışanlar güleryüzlü ve yardımcılar. Otel binası eski bazı deformeler var. Konumu itibariyle tren sesleri odanın içinde fazla hissediliyor.
- K9446KDdarrenb (4/5): Very poor and not much going on of a hotel, needs some big changes - How this is a 4 star hotel I will never know, the rooms were clean but more like hostel hotel rooms, shutters on the windows so you can’t even open the windows, no swimming pool, I booked breakfast and dinner included, the breakfast was the same everyday and not much to close from, and the only hot drinks you could have was a cappuccino or hot milk, the dinner was ok but it wasnt a buffet and you have to choose what you wanted and no drinks included you even had to pay for water, the bar area no one was never there and you probably had a choice of about 10 alcohol drinks to choose from, most of the staff was ok apart from the afternoon/evening receptionist seem like you was bothering her every time you asked a question, so I didn’t bother even speaking to her after the first day
- Philippe (10/5): - Très bon emplacement face à la mer. Le funiculaire est à deux pas de l’hôtel permettant de rejoindre le centre-ville sur les hauteurs de Syracuse. Petit déjeuner très copieux pour une très bonne journée.
- Barbara (8/5): Migliorare la sala colazione - La vista sul mare e il personale gentilissimo Sala colazione un po’ anonima
Finestre che fanno passare qualsiasi rumore
- Jordi (2/5): Es total de obra epoca - Nada Todo. Muy pesimo.
El baró es peligroso por mal construido
- Maria (7/5): Good price-quality relation and location - Good beds, all clean, perfect location No 4 stars but perfect for the price
- Russo (9/5): - La posizione
- Jurica (9/5): -
- Milena Maria Carmela (7/5): - La posizione Struttura che andrebbe ristrutturata
- Giuseppe (9/5): Meraviglioso!! - È stato tutto perfetto.
Personale cordiale e professionale.
Colazione ottima e abbondante e veduta fantastica nella zona colazione con vista mare.
- Ziyad (1/5): -
- Csilla (4/5): Nagyon nem érte meg. - Az egyedüli előnye az hogy közvetlenül a felvonó mellett helyezkedik el. A szállást ingyenes parkolással, tengerre néző kilátással, reptéri transzferrel foglaltuk.
Ezekből egyik sem teljesült. A parkolási díj 15eur/nap; a kilátás nem a tengerre nézett, bokrokra, a reptéri transzfert egyáltalán nem szerveznek.
A szállás 4 csillaggal hirdetett a Booking oldalon is, maximum 2,5-3 csillag.
A szállás régi, kopott, koszos falakkal, penészes és vízköves fürdőszobával.
A reggeli sem volt olyan minőségű, mint az előző 4 csillaggal minősített szállásunkon.
A reggeli kávé opció összesen 2 választék, capuccino, americano.
A szobához hozzáírtak 2 extra kávét a recepción, amit hosszan kellet bizonygatni h nem mi fogyasztottuk.
- Glenn (9/5): -
- ricardo (7/5): - Está en un entorno exepcional. Las instalaciones sanitarias están mal pensadas y la evacuación de gases cloacales se cuela en el baño y la habitación.
- Rosanna (8/5): In generale è stato un buon soggiorno, posizione strategica. Personale molto disponibile. - Mi è piaciuto molto la vista sulla baia e sull'Isolabella e la vicinanza dall'autostrada.
Ottimo il servizio con la funivia, elimina lo stress del parcheggio che in marzo non è problematico ma durante l'estate di certo non migliora il comfort.
Ottima la disponibilità del personale, sempre pronto a risolvere piccoli e grandi problemi. Gestirei meglio l'offerta di servizi per gli ospiti anche in periodi di bassa stagione.
Valuterei l'impatto della rumorosità soprattutto in orario notturno dell'unità esterna del condizionamento in modo da evitare disturbo della qualità e quantità del sonno degli ospiti.
- Thomas (7/5): -
- Aneta (10/5): Bardzo nam się podobało. Widok z hotelowego pokoju rekompensuje wszystko!! 😊 - Obiekt w świetnej lokalizacji, 4 min do kolejki linowej która zawozi Cię na górę do samego centrum. W Hotelu jest bardzo miła obsługa. Gdy nie ma miejsca parkingowego na ulicy, obok hotelu jest też prywatny Hotelowy który kosztuje 15e za dobę.
Co do śniadań to każdego dnia to samo ale będąc tam 3 dni nie znudziło się 😊 Wokół hotelu słaby wybór restauracji ale Nasz pobyt był przed sezonem może dlatego sporo rzeczy jeszcze było zamkniętych.

- OBERT (7/5): - Das Hotel ist ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen, aber noch ok und an den Hang gebaut. Dadurch ist viel übereinander angeordnet. Die Zimmer sind ausreichend groß und zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Die Dusche war erst für mich als leicht breitere Person zu eng, aber ich konnte das Zimmer tauschen und eine Dusche bekommen, in die ich auch hineinkomme. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück war gut, bis auf dem Kaffee aus dem Automaten, der war grässlich. Aber man konnte beim Personal einen frischen Kaffee bekommen, der war sehr gut. Es gibt hoteleigene Parkplätze abseits der belebten Straße, wobei die Fahrt auf die Rückseite des Hotels am Hang eng und schwer zu finden ist. Man kommt da im 2. Stock heraus. Bei Ankunft ist es schwierig anzuhalten, da die Straße sehr belebt ist. Man kann einen Parkplatz an der Seilbahn zur Stadt hinauf nutzen um einzuchecken. Das Internet/Wlan funktionierte leider überhaupt nicht auf dem Zimmer, nur unten in der Lobby. Der Nachtportier meinte wörtlich zu mir, "das wäre nicht sein Problem", ich solle am Morgen nochmal nachfragen. Ich hoffe mal das war ein Übersetzungsproblem gewesen. Bei nur einer Übernachtung war das leider ein Totalausfall. Ich konnte meine Flugbuchung aber in der Lobby ausführen. Zum Glück hatte mein Laptop genügend Akku für die Stunde.
- Kevin& (6/5): Egy éjszakát megér, jó helyen van. - Nagyon jó helyen van a felvonó mellett pár perc séta a látnivalóktól. A reggeli elfogadható, több minden van. A személyzet kedves! És Engedték hogy egy órával előbb bejelentkezzünk. A szállodából nagyon szép a kilátás A zuhanyzó olyan kicsi volt, hogy alig fértem be. A falak papír vékonyak, de ami a legrosszabb volt, hogy egész éjjel hangosan búgott valami kintről talán a klíma. A reggeliző helyen olyan koszos volt az ablak, hogy hiába volt pazar a kilátás a kosztól nem láttunk semmit.

- Marc (6/5): Décevant ! À éviter - La vue sur la mer comme nous l’avions demandée, la disponibilité de la personne de l’accueil Mauvaise insonorisation d’autant plus que le train passe entre la mer et l’hôtel.
Le prix très élèvé du petit déjeuner (12 € par personne) alors que les produits proposés n’avaient rien d’extraordinaire
- Nicholas (9/5): Would highly recommend staying here. - Fantastic location, breakfast was very good, place was very clean, our double superior room balcony view was phenomenal. Air conditioning unit was a little loud, but the room was cool.
- Rossana (7/5): Un bel posto dove passare una notte - Posizione perfetta per vedere la Mazzarò e Isola bella ma anche per visitare Taormina Accoglienza per quanto riguarda il parcheggio scarsa, poche indicazioni e supporto visto la strada stretta e trafficata
- Justyna (7/5): Great position, very comfy beds even room a bit small and very tasty breakfast. - Position, perfect to be able to easily see everything around Look of room,less noisy air-condition in bedroom
- Bridget (6/5): - Good breakfast( staff here lovely) , make sure you get a room with a view of the beach ,a short walk to the beach This is a 3 star hotel but it felt a little unloved and with a bit of attention could be a lot better . Staff at reception not particularly helpful

Very good value for such a lovely location

- Harjinder (10/5): Beautiful room with stunning sea views in a charming location. - The staff ensured we had one of the best rooms with a fantastic balcony offering stunning views. They were always polite and friendly and helped with any questions we had about the area and travel options. The breakfast was good and the honesty bar had a range of drinks which were very reasonable and fair. Our room was large and comfortable. The bathroom a very good size too. Couldn't fault this hotel, the staff and the excellent location just minutes from the cable car which took a few minutes to reach the bustling and charming shopping/food areas. We realised at the end of our stay that we could.have got a bus from Taormina train station to a stop almost outside the hotel. Isola Bella beach a few minutes walk away was breathtaking. N/a
- Paola (6/5): Buena ubicación para un hotel viejo - Buena ubicación cerca del funicular y frente al mar Instalaciones viejas con muy poco mantenimiento que podrían ser remodeladas. Las fotos no se condicen con el estado general del hotel.

- Dana (8/5): -
- mirian (10/5): Muy lindo todo -
- tppaul85 (8/5): Bargain of a hotel in a fab location! - Currently in room 306.
Contrary to what others have written about this hotel, ie, some real negative reviews, we have found the hotel to be an excellent little bargain!
Our room is a decent size, with a large double bed. We have a small tv, a fridge and a small sized balcony on the side of our room which has a lovely view of the hills and the sea!
Our bathroom is a really good size! Some have commented on the small shower cubicle! It's more than adequate! Rooms are cleaned regularly and you can exchange towels at any time!
Again, some have commented on the noisy trains! It's not constant and the noise last a few seconds! Nothing to bother about! Staff are friendly and helpful, especially in the breakfast room! For those expecting a 'full English'..(makes me laugh), it's not for you! Lol! You're not in England! Lol!
The breakfast is lush! Lots of fruit, cheese and bread! Cereals! Juices! Croissants! Boiled eggs! Scrambled eggs and lots more! My faves are the mini croissants with ham and cheese!
If you want to travel..the bus stop is on the road, just outside and the cable car, to take you to the top, where all the shops are, is 20m away!
Beach is a few steps down the underpass! There's some real good restaurants just outside the hotel and a very reasonably priced shop, just next door, which has everything you need for a takeaway lunch! Sandwiches, arancini etc!
Would definitely stay here again!👍🏽
- Lars Egil (10/5): -
- Béatrice (8/5): - Nous avions une chambre avec une belle vue mer et un petit balcon. Le petit déjeuner était copieux. Pas vraiment d accès à la plage. Le soir, rien à faire à pied autour de l hôtel. Parking payant.
- Aliaksei (9/5): -
- João Tasso Figueiredo (8/5): - Da localização, do pequeno almoço, a cama e colaboradores muito simpáticos Necessita de alfimas obras de conservação para não perder qualidade
- Global03418872199 (4/5): Review of the hotel supposed to be 4 star. So disappointed. - This hotel is a 4 star hotel however our experience at this hotel is a struggling 3 star (between 2/3star). Here's the points for truly doesn't comply to a 4 star;
1. Bedrooms are small . It's like a bed sit style with table and small fridge.
2. Wardrobe is small like a triangle shape with only 5 hangers. Have to ask more.
3. Very small balcony with 1 chair. As we put the dressing table chair in the balcony so that we could sit out and unwind but our knees are over on each side as the space is so small. It might be ok for 1 person balcony.
4. Bathroom is too small with a tiny shower cubicle that's enough to turn round. The screens that open is not wide enough for someone to get in. You have to go sideways. The floor area is enough to turn round and the shower head is fixed. So you either have the hot or cold water down on you as you work on the temperature as you haven't got space to move away from the shower. You can control the temp from the outside of the shower before getting in.
5. The corner shower screen had its days: chrome part is rusty and the corner is truly had its days. Can't move outside the shower because the sink is so close to the shower. The good thing is that it has a bidet and the room is cleaned everyday. The room is not ready for you to relax between 3:30/4pm.
6. No tea making facilities in the room.
7. There's only 1 lift that can take a max of 4 people but if you have a big person maybe another small person can join. If you have a big case that will just you and your suit case.
8. No sun bed facilities to use in the small roof top area.....only 3 good ones and 4 plastic chairs with 2 tables. It's appalling facilities. Plenty of broken unusable chairs at the back.
9. No swimming pool.
10. It's not wheelchair/walking stick/ pram friendly as the beaches are accessed via steps; ex. . 68, 168, etc
11. Dinner at the hotel is rubbish so it's better to eat at the side cafes/resto/etc.
12. Road crossings are not a strong point as the drivers don't stop.
13. Not a friendly lounge and the bar is not always manned. It looks sad and no life.
GOOD POINTS:
1. Good view looking to the sea at the sitting area and beaches down the steps.
2. Near to eating areas with mini markets nearby.
3. Near the cable cars/lifts transport to Taormina
4. Near to bus stops and quite regular.
5. Brilliant weather.
- D6770UQjuliem (4/5): Hotel not 4 star, 2 star at best. - This hotel, is in dire need of investment, first room we stayed in was on top floor, accessed via a very narrow corridor.with a small step down into the room with no warning and was difficult to see. The room was more hostel standard, with old dilapidated furnishings, wall paper hanging off walls, bathroom walls stained, fittings badly corroded, paint peeling due to damp. Asked to be moved, 2nd room slightly bigger still poorl furnishings, bathroom not different to the first but had the addition of black mould on ceiling and upper walls. As half board customers we were not allowed to select from the A la Carte menu were given limited selection from 3 sraters 3 mains, with one fixed side dish and one fixed desert. There are few facilities, bar only opened st 5.30pm, one member of staff manned the bar and when restaurant opened at 7.30pm took food orders at table and waited on. There is no pool the hotel has a private beach, across the road for which you are charged €36 a day, for sunbeds and are so tightly packed no room to put your own towel or mat down. The only plus points are the location and the very friendly staff who try their very best with limited resources to help in any way they can.
- Riku (9/5): Romantic time with amazing view. - The view from the balcony was just amazing, felt like being in a movie! The hotel was maybe nothing fancy, but it had evrything we needed. Location was good, close to the funicular and to the beach. Lots of restaurants around. One unpleasant surprise was the train track, which was located just below the hotel. The trains were quite noisy... fortunately they didnt run too often, and not at all during the night.
- Brad (7/5): Great location, tiny rooms with tiny showers - Very small shower and bed
- Bruno (10/5): I sogni son desideri che si avverano 😍 - La vista era stupenda, da sogno.
L'arredo era bellissimo, confortevole .
Facile spostarsi, funivia fermata dell'autobus ristoranti e Isola Bella, bellassai😍 se mi capiterà di tornare a Taormina sarà il posto dove ritornerò ❤️
- Heidi (10/5): -
- 66rachaell (6/5): It was ok - great location - The hotel is in an excellent spot, very close to Isola Bella however very steep down to the beach with a lot of steps so wouldn’t be suitable for people with mobility issues. Excellent for the cable car to Taormina and come every 15 minutes €10 for a return ticket.
There are restaurants around the hotel which are great and even a little karaoke bar a couple of minutes walk up the road. Buses stop just outside and a couple of shops underneath that are reasonable and sell everything you need.
Reception staff, we didn’t even bother trying to speak to them after we had checked in apart from the ask about the odd little help yourself bar. Miserable and not welcoming or friendly.
The room, basic, run down, fridge had 2 bottles of water in when we arrived but nothing after. No facilities to make a cup of tea or coffee and very small especially the shower. When you sat on the toilet it made a large bang and felt like it was coming off the wall. However the bed was made up for us everyday and fresh towels daily. Walls are thin and not much privacy. Terrace was nice and we often sat out with a glass of wine looking over the bay.
Breakfast was nice, not busy, only hot food was scrambled egg and fatty bacon thin slices. Lots of continental choice and as fine for us.
We did not see any sunbeds at the beach opposite for our hotel so that is strange but didn’t bother asking. We did visit Isola Bella for the day €50 for 2 sun beds was extortionate but we did it for the experience.
If you are wanting something cheap and cheerful in an excellent location this is great but I would absolutely recommend a balcony or terrace on your booking.
