The hotel is i an excellent position, close to the bus station where tours start and a short walk to the town centre. Views from the terrace and the sea view rooms are magnificent. Reception staff very helpful. The hotel is looking rather old fashioned now and would benefit from some renovation although it is comfortable and looks well maintained. A pity there is no gym or indoor pool as it was too cold for the outdoor one.

Very fancy hotel next to the interbus terminus
Very nice. Beautiful views. Lovely gardens. Enticing swimming pool. 10 minute walk to main tourist area. Staff very friendly and helpful. There is a lift from near the carpark to motel level.

Hotel Ariston, a perfect hotel for a wonderful loc
What a lovely hotel. My wife and I have just got back and the only downside is that we wish we stayed longer. The hotel is perfectly located with beautiful sea views and a short walk to the shops and restaurants of Taormina. The rooms were comfortable and a decent size. We were pleasantly surprised to have a bottle of champagne waiting for us to enjoy. The breakfast was vey tasty and with good choice. The reception staff were very polite and helpful and always offered good advice regarding things to do and see. We will certainly return as it was a fantastic holiday all round.

4/10 Fair

Not a 4star hotel
Not 4 star hotel, 3 star at best. Room cleaning was poor. Reported a bathroom leak when we checked in and nobody came to fix it. Dinner service was slow and they forgot to serve dessert at one sitting. However the buffet dinner event was fabulous.
