This hotel has terrible reviews on here, but I took the risk and went. Here's my thoughts... The room is absolutely massive. Yes, it's completely dated, but it was clean. The staff are mostly very nice (except one lady). There is sunshine by the pool all day from 8am until sundown. This is rare in Taormina due to the position of the mountains. The breakfast was absolutely fine - not just cakes, as it's mentioned elsewhere. It's opposite the park, which is lovely. For the price in Taormina, it is great. I'd stay again. You might not want to spend 7-14 nights here, but for 3-5 nights, it's ideal.
