Don't be put off by bad reviews- I found Taormina's Odyssey to be really friendly and lovely. Our view was great, it was really nice having a communal kitchen (a relief to make my own breakfast instead of some hotel breakfast). The service was friendly. The room (we had a double room) was spacious and charmingly decorated. The only negative... more

I wasn't sure whether to book this youth hostel after reading some of the other reviews, but booked it anyway since it was by far the cheapest place I could find to stay in Taormina, and didn't have any problems at all. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean, and there was also... more

This hostel suited our group of 5 just fine. Easily booked via email. Pleasent managment. Good showers. A little further out of town than expected, but still well within walking distance, even with backpacks. I left some important documents at this hostel, and when I returned to the UK and contacted the managment, they promptly sent them (free of charge)... more

We had the worst expectations because of the bad comments but it proved to be a wonderful youth hostel! small and cozy - we never had a problem getting our daily showers (I recommend avoiding the shower-rush-hours) and if you want more than some cookies for breakfast you should bring your own (breakfast - and cookies). The hostel owner was... more

We stayed in this hostel few days ago, just for one night...and it was enough!! They have internet site booking not working: they weren't able to tell us about available beds in the dorms. At the first they asked us for an email booking which they didn't read and answer, then they made us phone lots of time during 3... more

This hostel is overcrowded, dirty and a rip-off. My purse and credit cards were in the office for safe-keeping (a long story). Anyway, when I asked for them back I received only the credit cards, not my purse with cash in it. The owner was giggling and said her staff had stolen it and they had left that day and... more

There are no locks on the front door of the hostel or the dorm rooms and very few lockers available.. The place is very dirty and there are only 3 toilets/showers for 40 or more people. There is a sign up saying only 5 min showers allowed, the showers are always full and because the toilet is combined you can... more

The beds available in summer time are 26 not "40", and the toilet combined "italian style" are n.3. The rooms and showers are cleaned all days. The Town Center is far 15 minutes on foot. It is available a city bus every half hour. The Parking is available on street with Hostel Pass.
