After staying last week on a B & B basis, I agree with most of the good reviews on this hotel. It is great for couples, mainly because the pool does not have a swallow end so for small children it would not be a good choice of hotel. The area is quiet and within easy reach of the main... More

We stayed for one week booked through Thomsons. Could not fault the service and the buffet for 15 Euros for all you can eat is great. We booked B&B but ate in the hotel every night. Rooms were always clean and staff helpful.

Small wonder previous reviewers have been divided in their opinions as to whether Hotel Ariston merits a full four star rating. Having just spent two weeks there on 1/2 board I can see arguments on both sides. Summation: For 4*- Food, Setting (terraces & pool) Desk and dining room amiability and service, room and overall facilities. Against 4*- Room acoustics,... More

Just about everything is good at this lovely hotel, the staff are always willing to help with a smile and nothing is too much trouble for them ; I was on a weeks holiday with four friends and it was like home from home, and Taormina is fab if just a little hilly it is well worth a visit .

We stayed for 10 nights on our honeymoon. The breakfast was lovely with so much choice. We had dinner on the buffet evening twice and the food was good. Look out for Guiseppe at the bar, a ladies man, but very entertaining and has lots of party tricks up his sleeve. We booked a room with a balcony, but would... More

+very friendly staff, great view over the sea, city centre is +very friendly staff, great view over the sea, city centre is only five minutes away, large swimming pool, large garden with many palm trees, good breakfast -the walls are unbelievably thin, so you can hear the people in the neighboured rooms, no free WiFi

We stayed here from 5th May to 12th May with Thomson's, we had a sea view , which was wonderful. We stayed B&B although ate every evening in the Hotel, because the food was so good, the drinks, both in the hotel and the bar, were comparable with the town itself. Breakfast was incredible, so much choice, rolls, cheese, meats,... More
