First and foremost, the Sirius is a beautiful hotel. It's wonderfully decorated, the rooms are large and comfortable, and our room was kept spotlessly clean. The pool area is great, and there are stunning views of the coastline. The hotel is close to the bus station and to the cable car station, which connects Taormina with the coast. There's a... more

The title concerns not only the dog itseft (it barks regularly nearby), but the staff to greater extent - no smiling, no help, always gloomy and busy. The only plus of this hotel is location especially if you don’t rent a car. Bus station - in 1 minute, the main road (Corso Umberto) – 5 minutes, cable car (funivia) –... more

We ve just returned from a wonderful holiday in Taormina. The hotel was great, in an ideal location. Our room was very comfortable with a fantastic view. The staff were extremely pleasant and courteous. The food was very good but we decided to eat out on evening just for a change and went to the restaurant recommended by the hotel.... more

The hotel at Taormina was very clean and in a great location. Some of the staff were extremely helpful and pleasant. Sadly, the dismal food supplied by this hotel spoilt the holiday. It was uninspiring, repetitive, scarcely Sicilian—and for a vegetarian was a complete disaster. There were no vegetarian main courses on offer on any day during our stay so... more

We stayed in the last week of October/first week of November. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The weather was a bit pants, but it is almost winter so we weren't expecting a heatwave. The hotel is situated in a perfect spot, not far from any of the amenities. We were diappointed that... more

Having stayed twice at this hotel, I find it difficult to believe that we stayed at the same hotel as recent reviewers. We stayed for two weeks in June 2007 and for one week in September 2008. We asked for the same room (a junior suite with huge balcony & full sea view) and got it. I can appreciate that... more

We were very disappointed with what claims to be a 4 star hotel, it is more like 2 star standard. The room although OK had a very poor outlook over a scruffy holiday villa complex which is very close and although it was just possible to see the sea sideways it could hardly be called a sea view. The bath... more

We have just come back from two weeks here, and was so disappointed. The food was disgusting it was so boring and bland most nights we were served veal, baked perch, beef , with croquette potatoes and salad. The worse thing of all was that you have two sit with another couple all the time you are here. You could... more

We stayed at the Sirius from 24th August 2008 for two weeks room 141. The room has the most fabulous view over the pool and along the coast to letojanni beach, definitely request a sea view if you can. Don't worry about any noise from the pool, its not that sort of hotel with millions of children and they close... more
