Excellent location, outstanding staff and great beach access, but the rooms are small and dated, and the breakfast could
Pros:

Fantastic location – right in the middle of Corso Umberto, within walking distance of almost everything.
* Amazing staff – incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming.
* Balcony with sea view – a big plus and a lovely feature of the room.
* Free beach access – excellent shuttle bus service to Hotel Caparena, with complimentary access to the beach, sun loungers and parasol.
* Lovely rooftop terrace – used for breakfast during the summer months.
* Beautiful reception and entrance area.
* Early departure breakfast box – although the food was disappointing, I appreciated the bottle of water and the apple.

Cons:

Very small room – limited space, especially for a longer stay.
* Small bathroom and shower – the shower was particularly cramped.
* Tiny safe – only enough room for a passport and a few small items, with no space for a laptop.
* Small TV.
* Outdated rooms and bathrooms – they no longer meet modern hotel standards.
* Poor sound insulation – noise from neighbouring rooms was easily heard.
* Basic breakfast – acceptable, but nothing special. Outside the summer season, breakfast is served on the lower floor rather than on the rooftop terrace.
* Traditional room keys – the hotel uses physical keys rather than key cards.

Pros:

Centralt boende och en vacker takterrass som ingen utnyttjade. Fin utsikt över hela Taormina och Etna

Cons:

Skulle behöva rustas upp lite men helt okej för priset.

Book this hotel and take the earplugs with you
Pros:

- perfect location, everything is close by
- hotel is clean, beds were comfy, water pressure is good
- breakfast was tasty
- amazing view from the terrace and from the room balcony
- if you go on the balcony at 6 am you can smell freshly baked brioche
- in the evening you can hear musicians playing Italian songs on the street
- staff was mostly nice and helpful, especially ladies at the breakfast and guys in beige t-shirts that I was seeing every day on the floors. Always polite and smiley. Special thank you for the lady at the reception, who arranged the bubble wrap for my wine bottles. She was the only helpful and nice one out of all reception staff

Cons:

- the walls are paper thin. I read about this before and came with ear plugs, but still, you will hear every noise from your neighbors. So take your earplugs and hope for a decent neighbours.

Una bonboniera sulla strada principale
Pros:

Pozione perfetta. Ambienti arredati con gusto. Personale gentile, letto comodo e stanza silenziosa. Vista spettacolare

Cons:

Bagno senza ventola ne finestra e la TV prendeva pochi canali, ma tanto in una città come questa si sta poco in hotel...
