We have just reurned from a weeks holiday in the Hotel Ariston,and, honestly couldn't fault this hotel. Location is excellent, a short walk to Taormina, and the bus station is at the exit from the hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful,food was excellent, and the hotel prices for food and drink were cheaper than the resort, e.g. €3.30 for... more

We arrived at the Hotel Ariston for the second leg of our honeymoon after 2 lovely nights in Venice. We were greeted by the friendly concierge and had dinner on the pleasant veranda area overlooking the swimming pool....from then on disaster. We arrived in our room only to find 2 single beds, I rang reception to ask to be moved... more

We stayed at the Hotel Ariston 21st-28th June and had a very enjoyable time. We found the hotel very good, beautiful, clean, well presented, and in an excellent location. It is located right next to the bus terminal, but does have a rather steep slope up to it (not the greatest for elderly people or those with young kids) The... more

Ursula, Ireland - 25 May to 1 June, 2008 I have just returned from a trip to Taormina, Sicily. I stayed in the Ariston Hotel and found it to be very good. I was a little bit anxious going, having read some of the reviews prior to my trip. But I am delighted to say I was very pleased with... more

My boyfriend and I booked to stay here for a bargain price during the 1st-7th Sep (same dates as the limerick traveller, same flights too!) and when our flights were delayed by four hours the 2 hour wait at the airport for our luggage along with three other incoming flights on the one terminal was not welcome. This hotel is... more

We were booked into the Hotel Arston by Grand Circle Travel at the last minute, being switched from Antares complex which is a bit out of town. That said, the location of the Ariston is excellent - walking distance to the main street (Corso Umberto) and the fenicular down to the beach. The hotel is reached through the town bus... more

I stayed at the Ariston last summer. It's a strange mix. The entrance through the bus stop car park is very steep and poorly surfaced with patchy broken concrete. I was travelling with my mother who found it all very cumbersome. From the awkward access you ascend by lift on to the main podium with a beautiful pool and sun... more

The hotel is in an amazing location, on a hillside with a view down to the sea below. We stayed in a superior room for the first night but actually found the standard room which we had for the rest of our stay more comfortable, although it didn't have a balcony. The superior rooms in a separate wing had marble... more

My wife and booked a one week holiday there sept 1-7, 2007. It was a late booking and a relative cheapo - we paid c70% of the brochure price. We were unhappy after we had booked because of the mixed reviews we subsequently read on tripadvisor. These mixed reviews are accurate. The hotel is awkwardly sited and the main entrance... more
