Taormina Park Hotel Reviews

Great room, breakfast was delicious and the view from my room was spectacular! Walking distance to cable car as well as the city centre

On the edge of Taorminna Municipal Park, it is a 5-minute walk from the Grand Theater, 3.75KM from Castle Hill, and almost the same distance from the seaside. Taormina is a place with mountains and sea views. The hotel has its own parking space in the ZTL area. Remember to ask the hotel to register you when parking.

I was completely charmed by this hotel and must have had an entirely different experience to the negative reviews. Here are some of the highlights for me: - the style and location of the hotel are incredible. The building is beautiful if you want a taste of Italian style and you have a view of the coast and the mountain just from sitting at breakfast or whilst sunbathing (or from a Seaview room) - the location is also fantastic. I jumped on the bus from the airport and it takes you practically right to the hotel (200 meters) and cost €6, or pay a taxi for €100! The bus whizzes along the sea and is part of the fun. As a solo traveler I enjoyed very much being able to come back to the hotel in the daytime if I had been out on an excursion in Taormina old town as it is right next to everything (5-10 minute walk) - I stayed in room 115 in the new deluxe room, I had a massive double bed, Aircon that worked all the time keeping it cool and a walk in shower. My wardrobe lit up when I opened it and the charging ports had USB built in. I just drank the tap water and kept it in the fridge which was great. I also had a flat screen TV and I just watched my favourite shows on YouTube. The only comment was the pillow was too high for me. - The pool is cleaned daily with a robotic machine that collects the dirt from the bottom. Maybe the comments from other reviews are from the out of season time or they have recently purchased this cleaning device - not sure. I didn’t use the sauna facilities but front desk said you could use them any time. - the staff were so friendly and helpful speaking great English. I think the bad reviews come from not understanding Sicilian culture - there is a wide spread attitude of laid back and relaxed nature to Sicilians and you have to lean into it! - the breakfast again was tasty serving hot scrambled eggs and “bacon” (prosciutto) and then continental hams, cheese, tomato, yoghurt, fruit, bakery goods. There are a lot of cakes but again this is a reflection of Sicilian culture. They are known for cakes - try them! You can also have lunch here and I had a tomato pasta which hit the spot - overall, I have never stayed in such a beautiful hotel with unmatchable views in such a convenient location so for me, it was faultless

Lovely hotel, really friendly helpful staff, beautiful views of mount etna and the sea. Perfectly situated for a short walk into the most beautiful town. Breakfast was great. We will definitely stay again. Thank you to everyone for making us feel welcome.

We stayed here for a week , it was a lovely hotel , we had a superior room and it was very clean , the bed was very comfortable , maids came in everyday , the staff where very friendly , dont believe the bad reviews , it is a very quaint hotel , would come back again . nice position , we were on the 3rd floor with sea views , They were spectacular , The pool was very clean , cant fault anything about this hotel

We had a room with a sea view. Clean, 3rd floor big room. Nice breakfast , sicilian style, lots of cakes but also scrambled eggs etc. Nice pool area. Peaceful hotel near local park. Mainly adults. Finnish sauna, small gym area outdoors. Bus stop 10 min walk from hotel , cost only 7 euros from Catania airport.

Well, this is the third time we have stayed here, in five trips to Taormina in recent years. You’d suspect there is a reason why we come back to this same hotel, and you’d be correct. Yes, perhaps a little ‘tired’ here and there, but isn’t that just Sicily, part of its charm. We have noticed continuous upgrades over the years; it just keeps getting better. We had everything we needed, room cleaned and made daily, decent enough wi-fi, great breakfasts to begin your day, and a very helpful front desk; wish my Italian was as good as their English. The location works great with a 10 minute stroll through the Villa Communale to Corso Umberto. However, the big, and I mean really big plus, are the staff. Always there is a ‘buongiorno’ or a ‘buona sera’, with nothing too much trouble. The light lunches and assorted drinks at the pool bar made the ‘arduous’ hot sunny days a joy! The food was excellent, all home made on site (the Insalata Siciliana !!!). Pinha and her team looked after us so very well, we can’t wait to make a return trip. They really did make the difference, and I couldn’t recommend this fabulous hotel more strongly…..thank you!

Room was dirty and disgusting, cracks in the wall, phone did not work, no WiFi, shampoo in ketchup packs. Staff barely spoke English. The whole hotel had a dingy feel, like nothing has been updated in 20 years. This is definitely not a four star hotel. Would never stay here again.

Currently here having a lovely stay at this hotel, yes it's a bit faded round the edges but that only adds to its charm. The views from the front of the hotel and the pool area are spectacular. Sat at the pool bar watching Etna letting off steam at the moment. The staff are very pleasant and breakfast round the pool is a treat. We have one of the few cheaper rooms without a view but on the plus side it is huge and lovely and cool. Location is fabulous opposite the gardens and a short walk to the centre of town. Would definitely stay here again

We bought a vacation package with flight and 7 nights at the Taormina Park Hotel. We were pleasantly surprised with the hotel, and found it to be a very comfortable place to stay. Our room was standard and faced a cliff with abundant vegetation. It was very quiet, except for the occasional birds. The staff was extremely helpful, the room service was excellent. It is walking distance from the town and across the street from a beautiful public park. The hotel has limited parking space, and in general Taormina is a place with limited parking. Port Catania near the main road is a preferable for people who come for a day trip if they want to avoid parking problems. The hotel may need renovation here and there, but since it is an old building, it also had its own charm and uniqueness.

This hotel has terrible reviews on here, but I took the risk and went. Here's my thoughts... The room is absolutely massive. Yes, it's completely dated, but it was clean. The staff are mostly very nice (except one lady). There is sunshine by the pool all day from 8am until sundown. This is rare in Taormina due to the position of the mountains. The breakfast was absolutely fine - not just cakes, as it's mentioned elsewhere. It's opposite the park, which is lovely. For the price in Taormina, it is great. I'd stay again. You might not want to spend 7-14 nights here, but for 3-5 nights, it's ideal.

This hotel is in the best location. Right opposite a beautiful park & next door to an entrance to the Teatro. The sea/mountain/park/town view from our balcony was just fabulous. The fact that the room decor was so ugly (see pic 😂) didn't detract from our delight with this hotel. Most of the staff were lovely & friendly, the room was clean & breakfast acceptable. Overall the best hotel in the area for the price. Would definitely recommend it to anyone. We have moved on to Syracuse but miss Taormina already.

Just returned from a week at this lovely hotel. Located high up on Taormina with spectacular views. Hotel itself is quite ornate and opulent, in a dated way. Furniture and furnishings must have been very expensive at the time, lots of beautiful items, mirrors, pictures, bureau. The room we had, with balcony was lovely, view over the bay and Mount Etna was amazing. OK, there is a little peeling of paint and wallpaper here and there but this does not detract from the fact that this is a magnificent hotel. Location is good in view of a walk across the road to the lovely public park with its follies and fantastic ancient trees. Round the corner to the bus terminus and the cable car to the beach. Up the way to the quaint and delightful village of Taormina. Staff were lovely and accommodating, room cleaned every day and sheets changed almost every day. Breakfast was a little limited and basic. Same every day. The issue while we were there was the pool. It looked a little uninviting on arrival and as the week progressed the water became greener and greener! After a complaint the pool was emptied and a team brought in to scrub the green stuff off the sides and bottom of the pool. Then the filling up began but we left before it was actually available again. Recommend the cable car to Spiaggia beach. Best restaurant Il Baccanale with varied menu at reasonable price. Take a tour to Mount Etna obviously and the local bus to Castlemola, one of the highest and prettiest villages in Italy, allegedly. In all, a lovely week in Sicily at the Taormina Park Hotel.

The hotel will always have demand because Taormina is so popular. But our stay here was poor. The rooms are in desperate need of refurbishment- dated, ugly and badly decorated. The breakfast was awful - just a selection of cakes mainly. So much of the furniture and crockery was chipped and the breakfast room was unbelievably ugly. The location is nice though but nothing else positive to say.
