We had wished we were in the main building with some sort of balcony or view but our building was still maintained fairly well and we had a lot of space in our room! We really loved the area since it was very close to the cable car and to the historic city center. We also really loved the hotel for its views, terrace and views. It is important to note parking must be reserved ahead of time! And it is a short but hilly walk. There may also be a long walk to your room so that’s another note! The staff were all very friendly and helpful! ##### Kathryn Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Shirley 5 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beds are so comfortable. ##### Shirley Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nathan 8 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel is within 10 minutes walk to the centre of Taormina, and a 2 minute walk from the bus terminal, with a direct service to & from Catania Airport from the termina.

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.

We had a great corner unit with spectacular view of the water and sunrise. The pool area was nice but I thought I would use the pool during my 4 day stay but never got a chance as the pool was cold and it didn't get much sun in the afternoon because it faces east. The hot tub was cold and the whole pool and hot tub area close at 6pm which was too bad because if the hot tub was actually hot it would be good to be there in late afternoon or in the evening. The hotel is not very modern and the rooms a little dated but in general I think it was a great hotel and about a 10 min walk to the main town. They have parking close by for 20 euro per day but it was not easy to find this hotel in the beginning. Google maps was taking us to a different spot and we had to find a small sign on the street saying to snap a pic of the QR code for the instructions on how to get there by car. When you park it is very confusing how to get to the main reception, you are just walking up these stairs, walking into the building through the pool area, take the elevator to the second floor which you exit in the patio area and walk across the patio to the entrance of the reception. Staff was friendly and they helped us get to the parking area which was in the property next door. Breakfast was big but there wasn't that much variety day to day. I would recommend to stay here but make sure to get a nice waterview room. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0e579bb8-2967-4950-9d6a-72255b7365a6-1761010751732.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3b39f05b-4230-4034-9717-8cfa0a53b41c-1761010751909.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/05e21aa3-831e-429e-8f0e-dec35007d6f8-1761010751698.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/588876f5-7515-4132-8ea7-da9a6470d1d6-1761010853870.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent stay We would definitely stay again.

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 Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MARIANA 30 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities There are breathtaking views from te hotel.
