Pros:

Comodità del letto

Cons:

Le tapparelle non si chiudevano completamente e la mattina entrava luce in camera, per chi dorme al buio, non è il massimo.

Everything exceeded our expectations
Pros:

Everything exceeded our expectations. The staff were extremely kind, the room was spacious, the view was stunning, and the breakfast was varied and came with a beautiful view. We will definitely choose the same hotel if we return to Taormina

Delizioso hotel a due passi dal centro di Taormina. Vista stupenda dall’alto e dell’Etna. Camera ampia e doccia eccellen
Pros:

Posizione, cortesia, sala colazione spettacolare

Cons:

Camera un po’ rumorosa perché vicina alla strada

Great location with parking out front if your lucky
Pros:

The location of the hotel was close to the main piazza. The Terrance was beautiful to take in the view of the town and Mt. Etna. Breakfast for an additional charge was very good. And the bonus was being able to find parking tight in front of the hotel for a charge of 20 euros, instead of having to park elsewhere.

Cons:

The elevator was not working the entire time, so you had to carry your luggage up and or down stairs.

Bien
Pros:

Le petit déjeuner est exceptionnel, avec beaucoup de choses fraiches et du choix, l'emplacement a quelques minutes du centre est super, le personnel de l’accueil est très chaleureux et serviable, le serbice de voiturier est bien pratique (malgré le prix qui semble toujours trop cher 20€/j) et la vue est superbe.

Cons:

Nous avons eu malheureusement la chambre 161 qui est bien trop petite et vraiment très vieille.. le sèche cheveux ne sèche pas grand chose haha, et les murs sont très fins, on entends beaucoup les voisins/bruits de chasse d’eau ou douche, portes qui claquent/bruits extérieurs etc..
