Meridiana Hotel Taormina

“Charming and cozy cottage-like hotel”

This hotel is so cute. It's in a good location not too far from the centre, but although it's not far it's a steep walk up the hill. I believe they have 9 rooms total so it felt very cosy.

This hotel is so cute. It's in a good location not too far from the centre, but although it's not far it's a steep walk up the hill. I believe they have 9 rooms total so it felt very cosy. Was EXTREMELY clean and would be great for a romantic couple. Getting into the parking was challenging and scary but doable and they charge 10 euro for you to park each day.Every room has a view of the water which is excellent. The breakfast and service was also great. I would stay here again and would recommend it. The pool/deck is excellent with a great view of the mountains and the water.

“Good”

My partner and I recently stayed at this hotel. The views from the rooms are amazing but the walk down from the main street is awful. Prepare to be out of breath when you reach the top. The reception staff speak very little English which made check out quite difficult. They also have no luggage storage so we had to leave our bags in the middle of the reception as we arrived before the room was ready. Far from ideal and not safe at all. They also insist that you must leave your room key at reception when you go out. These are on numbered hooks in plane sight with no security. They don't check what room key you collect when you get back so anyone can get the key to your room if they wish. We Weren't happy with this so chose to keep it in our bag when we went out. Just before we left the owner yelled at us in quite an aggressive tone telling us we have to leave our key behind. On all our travels we have never seen this. We also had trouble with the hot water in our room. When I tried to put the shower on our first night I could not get the hot water to work. We called up the man on reception who didn't speak a word of English to try to fix it. Turns out the hot water takes about 5 minutes to come on. So I would recommend turning on the shower 5 minutes before you want to get in it. The lady on at breakfast every morning was amazing and always had a smile on her face. Definitely brightened up our morning. On the whole we loved the area and the people of Taormina. But next time I think we'll stay somewhere in the town itself.
