Hotel Ariston and Palazzo Santa Caterina

So convenient! Excellent location. Lovely boutique style hotel on the top of a cliff. Right next to the bus station, so great to get to and from the airport and to other places around the island. I usually get taxis but at 7 euros it was so much cheaper than over 100 for a cab! Fab views of the coastline and wonderful deep pool. I've been in April and August and not so busy even in high season. Hotel not too busy, always a sun bed and a place in the restaurant and bar area.

Location fantastic,staff friendly and very helpful.We had an upgraded room when checking in, with balcony and sea view which was very nice,and made the hotel stay special.Breakfast very good with a good choice of foods and beverages.Pool very clean and a decent size for a good swim.All in all a great weeks stay,and I can recommend this hotel for a memorable trip to Taormina.

The staff were fantastic. Very friendly and helpful. The property is in a perfect location if you want to travel, as it’s located next to the bus station. Taxi’s are not cheap, so bus/ coach travel a good option. Also, ideal when travelling to and from airport - coaches stop outside this hotel, so can save a lot of money. Taxi and car hire are expensive options. Breakfast is very good with a lot of choice. There are lots of amazing restaurants in Taormina, but having an evening meal at the hotel restaurant is recommended, especially the buffet nights - well worth booking. Eating is outside in the evening, in beautiful surroundings, with great live music (piano player) for entertainment. Again staff were amazing - special mentions to - Christian, Matteo, Ivan and Sandro - they went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.

I had a truly wonderful experience during my stay at this hotel. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and Maurice, in particular, went above and beyond to make my cousin and me feel genuinely welcomed. The location is perfect, with everything within a pleasant walking distance, which made our visit so much more enjoyable making it so easy to explore the area. Waking up to the stunning sea view each morning was a highlight that we cherished. The hotel was impeccably clean, adding to our comfort and peace of mind. And I have to mention the breakfast—absolutely amazing; it left us so excited for our next visit. I can't wait to return!

Everything!!! It was so fab, everything you need , pool and view and location great ! Breakfast was beautiful with the best bacon ever! Everyone was so friendly , from the guy at reception who came up with a steamer promptly when asked , and anything else we asked too, and the lady in the buffet , so friendly . she even complemented me on my lipstick . I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again ! So close to the cable car, bus station and messina gate for Corso umberto. Rooms were nice and big and balcony huge and wonderful view . The beds were so comfy and the maid did a fab job ! It was our wedding anniversary and they gave us a bottle of Prosecco and biscotti snacks as a surprise for us so cute . All staff so friendly and happy
