Part of a fly drive around Sicily, this hotel has excellent facilities and entertainment. The village is a ten minute walk and not a flat walk but we managed it twice a day.
Terence, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location! Pool and close to everything!

Would come back with no hesitation! Hotel was situated on a hill above the sea but with elevators it was totally assessible. Lovely pool, 2 min walk to the bus station that brings you to the train station for 1.1 euros! 4 minute walk to restaurants and 10 minute flat walk to Messina Gate which is where the beautiful streets with restaurants and shops are located. Just a perfect stay!

Amazing hotel location pool and breakfast

Amazing hotel with amazing views. Best pool breakfast above and beyond It’s right near the bus stop so you can actually catch the bus or one euro from the train station which we did not know a very simple location. Easy to walk to the centre. The staff were incredible. Will definitely return
Tracey, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Mould in the room: there’s obviously been a leak somewhere. There was a damp smell also. There was also mould around the AC. Bathroom was very dated. Not sure how the hotel merits a 4 star. Bed had a noticeable ridge on the middle.

Amazing views from dining areas

This is a reasonably priced resort style hotel with a lovely ambience. The weekly Sicilian Night was fantastic with a feast of Sicilian food and live music. Terrific breakfasts as well as open air terrace dining. So glad we chose to stay here.

There are breathtaking views from te hotel. The bus station is very close and it's a walkable distance from downtown and many options for dinning. The breakfast is amazing, lots of options, fresh fruits, fresh orange juice and a Nutella machine! Wonderful!
MARIANA, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful stay. The Ariston is perfectly situated in Taormina, a very short walk to all of the restaurants, bars and shops, as well as being close to the cable car or steps which take you the beaches, including easy access to Isola Bella. Buffet breakfast was incredibly comprehensive - one of the best we've been to, and included plenty of fresh coffee and freshly squeezed local orange juice. The pool and pool area was amazing. Our room, in the Palazzo, was quite dated, but was a big triple and well appointed.
Claire, 4-night trip

Amazing hotel with perfect location

Really nice hotel with beautiful views and great location. Everything was within a walking distance from the hotel. The pool was nice and clean. Breakfast was also really good. Pictures doesn’t do justice to the hotel. It was much better than we thought. All in all great place and we truly enjoyed our stay.

Great base to explore Taormina

Great location. Rooms are a little tired. Staff seem a bit frazzled. Breakfast lovely. Evening meal ok. But lots of other nice places to eat in Taormina. Great base to explore Taormina. Pool nice. Don't bother with the Godfother tour.
