The hotel could not be in a better location with views of Etna, the town of Taormina and the sea. I had a single room. It was very small and only had a partial view which was a bit disappointing but I didn't pay much. The pool was shut which was a shame as although it is February it was warm and I would have liked a swim. I didn't eat at the hotel but did try to have a drink in the bar. Sat for around 15 minutes with no service so gave up. It was a shame as they had live piano music. I am not sure if service is better if you paid more or it is a little indifferent at the best of times. It is out of season so the hotel was not busy. Still fabulous destination and the hotel has a lot of history so definitely worth a visit.

The hotel is a 110-year-old castle hotel, located at the ancient city gate, with excellent service, good environment, and very exquisite. The hotel window is the sea view and the castle scenery. The hotel layout is very exquisite.

The location is good, right at the entrance of the city, with a wide view and a clear view of the volcano. There is a large garden in the hotel. The equipment is a bit old because of its age. The breakfast is average, but the stay is very comfortable and the service is good

The location is at the end of the main street. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the bus station to the hotel. The hotel room height is relatively high, about 4 meters. The service attitude is good. However, the photo of the Ctrip hotel is wrong. There is no outdoor swimming pool at all😅
