    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating

    The Ariston Hotel’s onto a winner with its location – it’s neighboured by an ancient Greek amphitheatre and has hilltop views over the Gulf of Naxos to shout about.

    Taormina’s main drag – Corso Umberto – is within a 10-minute wander of this place. And if you fancy heading to the beach, you can catch the cable car down to Isola Bella – a pebbly number.

    It’s all about the views at this hotel. Thanks to its lofty perch up in the hills, you’ll have far-reaching vistas along the coast from the sun terrace, and many of the rooms get postcard-worthy panoramas down to the Med, too.

    location

    • In the resort centre, near to bars, cafés and restaurants
    • The transfer coach will drop you off at the Taorina bus terminal, so there's a 50m walk to the hotel. Just so you know, it's a cobbled path and on a slight incline. A porter will collect your luggage from the bus terminal.

    Sleazy business practice

    The hotel was fine. However the reception was rather deceptive putting us in a standard room on the bottom floor, when we paid for a premium room with view and recommending the worst restaurant in town when we asked for places to eat.

    hotel very good but pillows were the worst I have had at a hotel the breakfast was good the staff helpfull on reception cleaned the room every day but bedding only done once a week we only had bar food at the pool the pool is very deep all over so not good for people who are not good swimers the town only a few steps away the tui rep Rory was fab the food to die for an would go back again in a heart beat the few things we know is the hotel gives you a card to charge stuff to tour room in the bar there is another card you get so many drinks an some free they stamp it so you dont have to have them all at once
    Good hotel in convenient location

    We stayed here for two weeks in a room in the front of the hotel with a sea view and balcony. We found it to be clean and comfortable. The buffet breakfast was plentiful and well prepared with a good choice of hot and cold food. One of the real bonuses was that early breakfast (not hot food) was available on days when we had excursions. This was wonderful compared to the packed breakfasts we have experienced in other hotels. The dinner was either a la carte or buffet. We chose the buffet every evening and this was excellent. As someone who loves to swim I found the pool excellent but as there is no shallow end it would not be as good for those who are not confident swimmers. Access to the hotel is not easy if you are not very mobile because there are quite a lot of steps to negotiate. It was not clear that the hotel had wifi and we certainly would not have wanted to pay for it. We found the staff friendly and helpful. We went to the bar most evenings and enjoyed the music of the pianist. Wednesday was the Sicilian buffet followed by the Sicilian group playing in the bar. We enjoyed those evenings immensely. The music and dancing was entertaining and there was much laughter as they involved the guests.
    Great location

    Great location five minutes from main shops and bars. Hotel clean, rooms basic but clean and on par with other hotels I have stay at in various regions of Italy. Food was varied and of good quality. A good choice for anyone visiting Sicily.
    Great time

    Lovely Hotel in a great location, full marks to all the staff for keeping it clean and tidy. Big thanks to Peppe who was fantastic looking after our table for the evening meal. The Amphitheatre which was actually just behind the hotel was a 15 min walk to get to the entrance- well worth a visit. The most convenient part was the bus top just outside the Hotel where you can pick buses very easy to get to all parts of this lovely Island. Again only ten minutes away was the chairlift down to Bella Isola this was 6€ return.
