Pros:

De locatie was erg goed. Midden in Taormina.

Cons:

Tot middernacht te veel lawaai om te kunnen slapen. De inrichting was erg gedateerd en het uitzicht op zee werd belemmerd door een kolom.

Skønt hotel centralt i Taormina
Pros:

Meget centralt i Taormina, få skridt fra det gamle torv. Fin morgenmad, lækker terrasse, god mulighed for opgradering til havudsigt mod tillæg.

Hotellet kan hjælpe med at parkere bilen (andetsteds) så man slipper for selv at finde rundt i ensrettede, snørklede gader.

Cons:

Savnede oplysninger om parkering på forhånd - muligheder fremgår af hotellet egen side/reception, men ikke hos booking.com.

Aircondition er centralt styret, dvs man kunne kun vælge tænd/sluk.

אכזבה , מרגיש שעבדו עליי , דורש פיצוי
Pros:

המיקום מאד מרכזי , ארוחת הבוקר סבירה ביותר, החדר היה דומה לצינוק קטן ביותר מתאים לאדם אחד ולא לזוג.
זה לא נקרא חדר סטנדרט , המידות קטנות ביותר . לא היו שידות ליד המיטות , לא היה ויסות ושלט למזגן מדליקים ומכבים מהמתג המרכזי . לא היה מקרר בחדר ועשו לנו טובה שאחסנו את הגבינות שקנינו במקרר שלהם אחרי תחינות
הפן באמבטיה היה חלש ומיושן לא היה מרכך שיער ולא נירות וידיו

Cons:

הכל כתבתי , חדר קטן ללא מקרר ולא עומד בסטנדרטים המלונאים
הנני טס הרבה ומעולם לא נתקלתי בחדרון זעיר כזה במחיר מופרז כזה.

Pros:

The location and the views from the terrace of the room are beautiful. From the roof of the bar you can see mount Etna.

Cons:

The room was too hot as the conditioner was not powerful enough. And for some reason there are no remote controls in the room to adjust the temperature. They are kept in reception 🤷‍♀️
