Great base to explore Taormina
Great location. Rooms are a little tired. Staff seem a bit frazzled. Breakfast lovely. Evening meal ok. But lots of other nice places to eat in Taormina. Great base to explore Taormina. Pool nice. Don't bother with the Godfother tour.

The waiter Daniele was absolutely amazing. He went out of his way for us every single breakfast and evening with always a smile on his face. Couldn't recommended the hotel enough, only thing that would have made it better was if water was included in the dinner package, wasn't specific when we booked.

I had a brilliant stay here, with a beautiful room on the fourth floor, that had a great view. The hotel is a great location just next to the bus station, cable car and a short uphill walk to the town which is handy when it’s hot outside. Great location!

This is one of the most beautiful properties we’d ever had the pleasure to experience. The views are stunning. We were surrounded with abundant fruit trees like mangoes and quince. There were colorful flowers everywhere nestled below stately royal palms. The food and wine were excellent. The breakfast buffet was magnificent - especially the fresh squeezed blood orange juice. The pool and patio dining were relaxing. The nightly relaxing live music was wonderful. We enjoyed the Sicilian banquet music as well. The staff were always going above and beyond and were friendly. We would happily ho back there and heartily recommend.

We had a wonderful stay. The Ariston is perfectly situated in Taormina, a very short walk to all of the restaurants, bars and shops, as well as being close to the cable car or steps which take you the beaches, including easy access to Isola Bella. Buffet breakfast was incredibly comprehensive - one of the best we've been to, and included plenty of fresh coffee and freshly squeezed local orange juice. The pool and pool area was amazing. Our room, in the Palazzo, was quite dated, but was a big triple and well appointed.
