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.

Average. It was advertised close to Corso Umberto. It was about 100 stairs to the Corso. The street in front is too narrow for car service to pull up to. We had to drag bags up and down to top of street where car could pick us up. Beds were uncomfortable. We asked for a refrigerator for in room. Got one the 2nd day there. We had to go to a grocery store and get ice to keep meds cool. No restaurant on-site for evening meals.

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.

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.

The hotel has good bones and in its day must have been rather grand. Today it is a well-located three star solution though tired. Central air, off for the season, left us struggling to be comfortable.

Great hotel in a prime position
This hotel was in an excellent location for exploring Taormina, especially being able to access the back door which led right out to the Corso Umberto! Staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke good English ,which was helpful to us. Our room was a good size with plenty of storage and the adjoins bathroom was quaint, although the shower was a bit dated. Everything was very clean and housekeeping was efficient. The little balcony overlooked the sea in the distance and although we could hear music from local bars and restaurants it wasn’t invasive. The buffet breakfast was good and plentiful. The only disappointing thing was the airport shuttle which was on the website at €50 each way. Staff were amazed at this price when we showed them and we had to pay €140 for a private taxi.

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.

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!

I really enjoyed my stay here. It’s above the Main Street of Taormina and about a 15 minute walk from the bus station (uphill!) The hotel has a lovely reception with 24 hour staff. The decor is perhaps a little outdated but I found it charming and more importantly, it was well maintained and clean. I loved the wardrobe in my room. Bed was comfortable and the room is air conditioned so perfect in the summer heat. The shower was excellent. The hairdryer was the standard “tube” style common pre 2000 so bring your own if that matters to you. My balcony was so cute, looking out towards the sea. It was overlooked but I didn’t mind that. The electrical outlets in rooms are awkwardly with light switches, so if you use an adapter it keeps turning the lights on. A very minor and non problematic gripe. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great, a selection of breads and cakes, plus cold cuts, yoghurt, cereals and juices. I would definitely stay again!
