    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 20-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.

    Worst trip of my life
    11 Dec , 2018 RoadRunner29, 41620
    I arrived at the Hotel Ariston and was ill. The people did not speak English and were very rude. I ended up with EColi Poisoning and had to go to the hospital. I laid in the hospital bed for 7 1/2 hours and was never seen by anyone. Came back to the hotel and went to my room. I had a high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding and was so weak I could not walk or hardly talk. The people at the hotel were not any help trying to get me any care or water. The room was dirty, full of bugs on the floor, the floor was so dirty I could not walk on the floor without sticking and had to use my sandals to get to the bathroom.

    Loved this hotel it had everything going for it, spectacular views, excellent restaurant/ bar and nice pool. The hotel room was a good size and always kept clean and a balcony were my wife and I often sat and had a drink or two while taking in the most magnificent sunsets. The staff were all very nice to us and the location ideal, the bus terminus was located just outside at the front so we could book tours from there, to get to the old town was a short 10 min walk.
    Excellent hotel. Great staff.

    This was our second visit to the Ariston. 21 Oct for a week. We were not disappointed. I love the fact that the hotel is quite old it has a lot of character. The room was cleaned to a high standard every day. Our room looked out over the cliff at the back. I didn't bother upgrading to a sea view but was offered the option. We were b&b. I found the breakfast satisfactory. Plenty of choice. We were blessed with the weather. We sat around the pool every day. We had lunch most days at the hotel. The food served from the bar was very good quality. Wide selection. Snacks were put out each evening which was a nice touch as we enjoyed a drink before venturing into town. The walk into town is about 10 minutes. Lovely shops. We ate in several different restaurants. As last time we ventured off the main road and explored the side streets where we ate amazing pizzas, pastas etc. Twice we ordered carafes of local wine which was very good. Finally, I cannot fault the staff at the hotel. The reception desk were very helpful. The bar staff were all amazing. Lovely service and very attentive. Some people complain that certain members of staff were grumpy. We did not find this at all. Rory from Tui is the best rep I have ever encountered. His welcome meeting was the most informative I have ever had. Since our last visit the payment procedure has changed. You now have a room card which you present whenever you purchase food or drink. You then settle your bill on the last day. I was a bit concerned about this so kept a record of all my purchases. I needn't have worried. The bill was spot on. Overall, we had a wonderful,relaxing stay at The Ariston. I would strongly recommend this hotel and will be returning next year.
    Great location, beautiful property.

    The best testimony you can give is to return to a property, and we would definitely return the Hotel Ariston. Well located with great rooms and great grounds. Just a 10 minute walk to shopping and great ocean views. The restaurant had a very nice buffet for breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was included and there were too many choices to choose from on the buffet. Dinner buffet was very reasonably priced and also offered many choices. The entire staff of the hotel were all fantastic. Parking is available for a fee.
    Wonderful Taormina!!!!!

    Go to Taormina and stay at Hotel Ariston. You will not regret it. We had no idea that Taormina and Hotel Ariston would be such a perfect combination, We have travelled a lot and sdeen many places but Taormina is number ONE!
