Eurostars Monte Tauro

L’emplacement, la piscine, le petit déjeuner

Localização muito boa, café da manhã excelente e atenção dos funcionários da recepção muito profissional e gentil!!!

The staff were all friendly and welcoming — special thanks to Fabrizio for the warm reception. The roads in Taormina are winding and hilly, making driving quite challenging, but the hotel offered valet parking for our rental car, which was a relief. (Paid parking)
The room was clean and the shower had great water pressure with good temperature. The view from the room was absolutely stunning. Breakfast was delicious as well. The location was ideal — the cable car station, the main dining area, and the town center were all within easy walking distance.

De locatie is perfect! Midden in het centrum van Taormina en ook vlakbij (5 minuten lopen) het amfitheater. Er ligt een mooi park naast het hotel. Het uitzicht is fenomenaal. Alle kamers kijken op de zee. Ook ‘s nachts is dit een prachtig vergezicht. Het ontbijt was erg uitgebreid en ook met een mooi uitzicht. Behulpzaam en vriendelijk personeel.
Het zwembad is royaal. Genoeg bedjes ook. Uitzicht is prachtig.

The location was great for exploring Taormina and for views of the water. The staff member checking us out was lovely to deal with and very helpful organising transport to our next hotel.

We have just returned home from a week stay at this hotel, the staff were lovely and all round it was a pleasant experience. The hotel is a perfect location for exploring Taormina. The hotel could do with some updating and it is slightly run down in some places. A mattress was left in the corridor leading to our bedroom for the duration of the stay which did take away from the experience. I would stay at this hotel again but If returning to Taormina I will likely see what else is available first.

I don’t like writing generally negative reviews, but it’s important to understand that there are several great things about this hotel but also many things that we did not like at all. On the plus side, the location is solid, the view spectacular, the included breakfast one of the best we’ve experienced in Europe. The pool area is great, the room size and room amenities adequate. On the negative side with the exception of the seventh floor (breakfast area) and the eighth floor (the lobby) the windows are dirty and with the exception of the pool area the outside is extremely unkempt and dirty. And the patio of our room was filthy with bird crap everywhere (be sure to see the photos) and our awning was disgustingly covered with bird crap (see photos). Also on the negative side there’s only one elevator for a nine story property and a steep and long road that you have to navigate to get in and out of the hotel. We stayed six nights with the first two on our own ahead of a tour. We paid $1000 for a “premier Seaview“ and when I made the reservation, I told them that if possible, we didn’t want to change rooms on the day we transitioned and became part of our tour group. On check-in I reminded them of my email and this request and could that they told us that it could “be a problem“ but “will work on it“ and later they gave us room 211 with a filthy balcony and a disgusting canopy (see photos) - the patio was so bad my wife wouldn’t use the outside patio area. And on this lower floor our “premium seaview”was partially obstructed. And one of the three window panels had moisture on the inside so you couldn’t see out of it. The first morning after checking in I went to the front desk and asked him to please clean the patio. When we returned to the hotel several hours later, there was no evidence that they had with the same disgusting pigeon crap on the patio wall and floors. And by the way, the patio furniture has seen better days! My wife said to mention that she thought the rooms needed some tender, loving care. I feel like Eurostar, the hotel owners, should shut this place down for a month and bring in some crews to do a major deep clean of the outside. I think the photos I will share capture the reason we were so terribly disappointed in this property. As I said there are amazing views, the pool area very nice and the included breakfast excellent but the rest of the hotel was a pretty sad sack situation. I did respond to the hotels request for a survey by asking for some consideration on the rate they charged us in view of the lower level floor (not to mention the general condition of the patio area). And we certainly did not get a “premium Seaview“. Still haven’t heard back from them. Check out the photos.

Location was excellent and as described in the listing.
