Hotel Ipanema

Location, view, pool, restaurant, breakfast

Hotellets största fördel är läget endast ett par minuters promenad till både linbanan och stranden. Det var också välstädat, vilket uppskattades. Frukosten var däremot ganska enkel och endast helt okej, utan något som stack ut. Sammantaget levde hotellet inte riktigt upp till förväntningarna, även om det fungerar för den som främst prioriterar ett bra läge.

This is a charming hotel in a great area of Taormina, quick beach access and the lift to the main city just around the corner. While this hotel doesn't have 'modern' finishes, the staff is excellent, the price is fair, and the views are amazing. Free breakfast and the pool are just a plus! A great place to explore Taormina from.

Hotel staff were lovely, and location was great. I had a double room with partial sea view, I'd say the view was more than partial, it was gorgeous and definitely the highlight of the room/stay. Looking at the pictures of the room, I assumed it would be a double as opposed to two singles and you couldnt move the two beds together. I wouldnt say this hotel is 4 star, the room massively lacks amenities. There isn't a fridge in the room as advertised. No kettle to make a drink and breakfast starts at 7 so if you want a coffee earlier you can't (my worst nightmare personally as I need coffee when I wake up!) The hairdryer doesnt have any power to it... there is body wash but no shampoo/conditioner. I only had breakfast here so can't comment on any other meals but it was good enough to get me going for the day. I didnt spend much time in the room or hotel really, and when I did, I sat on the balcony in my room or slept. Didn't feel too safe leaving my key exposed at reception everytime I went out either. If you're happy with a 3 star then I would recommend this place but if you are actually wanting a 4 star, probably not the best shout... holiday was amazing though so no regrets!! ☺️

Friendly and helpful staff in reception and in the restaurant. A traditional Italian dining experience with a range of food offers. The room was comfortable and quiet with a beautiful view across the bay. Lovely garden, sun terrace and swimming pool.

I liked everything about this hotel. A charming courtyard, friendly helpful staff,lovely room with balcony and seaview. Taormina was easily accessible via a cable car close by.

Overall this a nice hotel in need of investment to bring it into the 21st century. The hotel is located in Taromina Mare, just a short walk from the beach. The main town of Taromina is located above up steap stairs or via the cable car. The staff are all very friendly and helpful.
Rooms:-
The rooms are dated and run down, but are off a good size. Nice storage space is provided. A small balcony, with side-sea views from all rooms. The bathroom needs investment, the shower is weak and very dated. The shower screen was very loose, which put us off using it and we felt touching it would cause it to fall off. So we put up with a wet bathroom everyday.
Dining area:-
For a four-star hotel the breakfast should be better. Tinned fruit is a no-no for four-star. The coffee was also weak, not the high standard expected in Italy. When you enter the dining room you get shown to your table, higher standards which are not needed when the lower hotel standards let you down. Overall, this could be a good breakfast with better quality produce. The decoration of the place, just like the bar area can only be described as an retirement home.
Poor area:-
Split on two level; sun deck on on and the swimming pool on the other. The sun deck was of a good size and captures the sun well, being on the roof. It is a nice and quiet, relaxing area. The hotel has a rule of no outside drinks in these areas, but if you want to inforce this a pool bar should be provided, expecting guests to walk to reception, on the ground floor is a stupid idea.
Overall, if investment was made, this could be a very good four-star hotel, but until that time, expect three-star.
