Hotel Ariston

Lovely hotel with fabulous views! Perfect location to explore beautiful Taormina and the proximity to the bus terminal and cable cars, makes it easy to visit surrounding areas.
My room with a balcony and sea view was very comfortable with all amenities, including safe and a complimentary mini bar. Plus, the door key was much preferred to an often temperamental electronic card.
The staff were all friendly, but special thanks to Antonella and Daniele as their help and welcoming smiles made all the difference and were much appreciated. Thank you 😊

We had such an amazing time in this hotel. Hotel is located in a quiet area and a bus stop is just nearby. There are spectacular sea views from the territory and we were lucky because our room was upgraded to sea view room in Palazzo S.Caterina too. The breakfast was very rich, many various options and the fresh orange juice was made from local oranges, so delicious! The mattress in the room was so comfy… So far it’s our best stay in Taormina! Highly recommended!

Fantastic value, great staff, location, service - everything was really well done. The room was a little tired, but for the cost very good value for money and very comfortable - all of the staff were very nice, attentive and happy to help. Restaurant and bars great too!! We would definitely stay again

The best hotel with fantastic green botanical garden. The smell of jasmine envelops you as you walk to reception. Just 7 min walking from Messina gate, bus terminal 3 min away, opposite of the main entrance. Cozy atmosphere at the restaurant, good service, same prices as in the city center. Pool, clean rooms, various breakfast.

Absolutely brilliant hotel.
Everybody was so welcoming and friendly.
Our room was beautiful with a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
Every day we walked into a perfectly cleaned room as if it were the first day.
Brilliant
thank you

Great hotel, clean rooms, great breakfast each morning, outrageously gorgeous views. I didn’t get the option to choose the hotel (part of a tour package) but I will absolutely choose this hotel next time I’m in Taormina.

A wonderful stay, exceptional value for money! This hotel provided much more than we were expecting. The staff are all so friendly and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The breakfast was exceptional, so varied and fresh. The room size was great and provided partial sea views even though we hadn’t booked a sea view room. The pool, rooms and restaurant were exceptionally clean. The decor is a little tired but overall the hotel is in very good shape. Would not hesitate to stay again!

I am currently in total holiday blues mode! If I could have stayed forever I certainly would have.

I recently visited for my birthday get away, despite the horrendous weather Taormina recently experienced we still had a wonderful time and made plenty of memories.

The hotel staff here at Ariston were 10/10. The help they offered was perfect and they had plenty of knowledge on the surrounding area, great with giving directions.

The hotel itself was stunning, the pool area was fabulous, rooms were great and the view even better!

I certainly recommend and would love to stay again.

Amazing hotel! Breakfast was very nice every day. All the staff were very friendly and very accommodating, great service! Pool was very nice. The views were gorgeous. The location was perfect. Rooms were super clean!

Where do I begin! from the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel itself is amazing, the views spectacular! the food! (the bruschetta and the lasagne, the best I have ever tasted!) We were al inclusive, we could choose from the a la carte menu every night or the daily special menu or you could mix and match, the choice was yours. The Siciian buffet once a week was fabulous and so much fun from the entertainers. The jewel in the crown are the staff, so lovely, helpful, wonderful people. Giuseppe, you are amazing, so kind and thoughtful, always making time to make guests feel so welcome. Claudio, so friendly, helpful and fun. Alberto, the best mixologist we have ever met, your cocktails were amazing. Daniel, such a lovely kind man (whenever you asked how he was, he would reply, "bright and breezy") always rushing around doing everything he could for the guests. Carmelo and Simone always helpful and kind. Guys you are all the best (sorry if I spelt any of your names wrong) not forgetting the lovely Carmelina on reception, a fountain of knowledge. Thank you all for making our stay so wonderful. We never normally go back to the same hotel BUT we have to return to this one, it's a must. Looking forward to seeing you all again. Grazie Mille!

I went down a million stairs, at least, arm in arm with you.
And now that you are not here, I feel emptiness at each step.
Our long journey was brief, though.
Mine still lasts, but I don’t need
any more connections, reservations,
traps, humiliation of those who think reality
is what we are used to see.
I went down millions of stairs, at least, arm in arm with you,
and not because with four eyes we see better that with two.
With you I went downstairs because I knew, among the two of us,
the only real eyes, although very blurred,
belonged to you.

Really enjoyed our stay, could not really fault the hotel, Great location, near to bus station and city centre and amazing views. Staff very friendly and helpful, would love to return.

Great hotel with flash backs to the 1950s .Rooms of a good size and aways extremely clean. Location excellent, about 5 minutes walk into the historic town. Service was at time slow and some of the staff seemed disinterested. Overall a wonderful experience.

Fantastic experience, very friendly staff, polite.the hotel is beautiful, a bit old fashion however is very clean, big bedroom with nice balcony and wondered sea view. Bed confortable , wi fi TV . Great big swimming pool sourrinding from big space, lot of trees very nice place for relaxing. The location is great 5/10 min walking from Taormina centre. overall one the best hotel. The breakfast is amazing!! I will recommend indeed this hotel. I really enjoyed a lot!

It’s in the perfect location. And the balcony room is 100% worth it.

Good hotel with good breakfast and fantastic seaview and with a pool.
It Was clean in the rooms, so we were satisfied. location is super, near the main Taormina street.
To the beach you need to reserve bus on the reception

Pretty much all you could ask for in a hotel. Close to a bus stop that will take you to Catania Airport (just walk for a few minutes up a hill to the hotel). Nice room, good food and friendly staff. Very central and walking distance to the Gardens, Greek Theatre, main street. That parking costs extra might be the only downside

Had our wedding party stay here for 9 days and had the time of our lives.

The staff could not be more laid back and helpful, and great atmosphere around the pool.

Can’t thank them enough for making our guests stay so enjoyable.

The place is nice, hotel is well maintained. Wifi and reception is poor though not that off an issue for just a holiday but not for work. Parking is offered at a price. Location is very good just 10 min walk. Views are beautiful.

Absolutely amazing location, Jessica, Yassir, Carmelina were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for looking after me and my family. We had an amazing week.
