Taormina Park Hotel

The hotel had a great location overlooking the sea and Etna. And it was close to the old town, requiring a fifteen minute walk up hill to restaurants and sights. Fortunately, we found a neighborhood trattoria nearby. Eventually, we were provided with a correct street map.

We were unable to use the crumbling balcony for fear it might fall away and, although part of the hotel exterior was under scaffolding and being rehabbed, ours had been missed. The color scheme of bright green and brighter green, accented by cobalt blue furniture stayed in your eyes long after the lights were turned off. When we checked in, we asked about restaurants nearby and were told we would need to do our own research. Later, we asked for a street map of the town and were given a photocopy of a map of Catania.

Location. Jews terrace adj room

Terrible bathroom never fixed shower no hot water from start to finish.

Location impressive and internal decor whilst not everyones taste was baroque retro which I quite liked . Pool ambience and view good .

Lack of a bar at pool a wasted opportunity . Waiter service at pool sporadic and quite expensive plus food menu limited or on request not available . Staff quite friendly but an imposing old guy with sun glasses who stalked around created an 'atmosphere' and was as friendly as rabies in a guide dog home . Better if he wasn't there.

Absolutely nothing.

It was difficult to get there by car, They had no internet, no credit card facilities, no powerpoints in the room, decor was old and gloomy.

Unfortunately we liked nothing about our stay at this hotel

The hotel is totally outdated. It appears to be living on past glories. While we did not expect sea views, since we did not select this option, the room we were assigned was very poorly finished and consisted partly of a poorly constructed extension to the main building looking out on a rock face. The hotel had great potential to preserve its former heritage but it looked bleak and drab as if no improvements were made in many years. We left after one night of a planned three night stay. The receptionist did offer us another room if we wished to stay but unfortunately the damage was done and we could not shake off our feeling of discontent

The hotel building was really beautiful. If new management took it over, it could be an amazing property. As it is, I felt like they were charging as much money as they could while providing as little services as cheaply as possible.

The services were non-existent. No restaurant, difficult to find anyone in the breakfast room to even get coffee, of three people at the front desk one was quite helpful, one ambivalent and one was breathtakingly rude

The Pool & the view if we'd had one

Wet bath towels on arrival, hairdrier fell apart, airconditioning broke down, not very helpfull staff, no food or drinks available though day, poor value for a 4* hotel.

Our room was good but initially we were put into a room which which was not acceptable. We were moved to the class of room we had booked.

The hotel is not of 4 star quality. Many features of the hotel are poor. Much of the furniture is broken or damaged. Many facilities are very out-of-date. Above all, the management of the hotel is poor.

the view
