Good to stay in the town without being in the town

Just off the main strip. Nice breakfast. Nice staff. The stairwell had a few mosquitos. And the spa had no availability at the time.

It is clean and mattresses are very good but there is no seating area or couches exept the dining chairs which are very hard , staff were helpful and friendly .

Parking and parking instructions were absolutely horrendous. We tried to park in the parking garage next to the hotel but nobody told us that we needed to take a ticket and to put it in our windshield otherwise we’d get a ticket from the police. And we did!

Good location and nice view. Breakfast was pretty good but limited options. Room was super noisy with thin walls. Plumbing for the jacuzzi in adjacent room sounded like a jet engine for 5ish hours each day. There were ants so we couldnt store any food in room or fridge (they got in there some how). Hotel restaurant was closed for season (no food deliveries in town at all so you had to walk a mile uphill for lunch/dinner). Jacuzzi shown in pics was in a private room and not available for use so kids were bummed. Fair warning, no tours or rental cars in off season. All beach shops were closed. Town is beautiful (and packed) during holidays though.

To reach the hotel, you have to walk on the side of a high way where cars are driving. The condition of the room is really poor. You can tell everything is super old. Also, the bathroom towels were 10 years old. You could tell it needs replacement and the towels were extremely old and overused. I booked partial sea view, which means that you're looking on the high way with cars coming up and down, and after that you see a small part of the sea. The staff was lovely though, but that was it.

The reservation was not what we booked. We were told your reservation is for tomorrow. We showed our paperwork and was told no good. Was forced to make a reservation with another hotel for 1 night. Needed to change my reservations going forward also. Staff otherwise very good, but you better love hiking hills into town. Parking convenient. Breakfast good.

Reception staff were excellent. Friendly, helpful with great customer service skills. Hotel was very nice, clean and modern with a rooftop bar. Like many other hotels in Taormina the hotel is located on a hill. While I would certainly stay at the hotel again, parking unfortunately was a nightmare. There is a parkade adjacent to the hotel and unfortunately it was full. Had to shuttle to the hotel after I found a spot a significant distance away.

Poor customer service. The spa facility had several problems such as lack of transparency of additional cost to use. They told my group that you could use the spa if you book a massage that cost 60€ per person, then at check out they charged each person additional 30€ for the use of the spa. Not to mention, the spa facility was ran down with broken wood panels in the dry sauna and the steam room was not turned on for the first half hour. It was more stressful than relaxing experience altogether. The 30€ massage experimentar at the beach was 10 times better than of the Taormina Palace Hotel.
