PLUS - lovely hotel in great location, 1 min walk to cable car and to the bus station. Nice breakfast, lovely views from hotel. Clean rooms. Lovely swimming pools with view across the bay. NEGATIVES - supposed to be 4 star, but had only hand held shower over bath and no kettle in room. Staff on the whole were a... more

I really dont think this hotel deserves some of the very negative comments made about it. Yes, you can sometimes hear people in adjoining rooms and can hear the dog next door bark occasionally but overall the positives outweigh the negatives! I dont think the cuisine would have Gordon Ramsey worried and the first courses were better than the mains... more

We recently got married in the lovely town of Taormina. Having booked through a tour operator as a honeymoon package and paying for a sea view we got neither a full sea view (which we were told was not possible when we went back to reception) or any special treatment. When I asked our tour operator about this I was... more

On the whole a genuinely pleasurable experience. The location of the hotel is perfect with breath taking views. Only a short walk to the cable car to the beach and a fiveminute walk into the centre of the town (and what a town!) The service and hospitallity of the staff was good, with not a negative experience encountered. The rooms... more

The location of the hotel was spot on, it's near the cable car and the bus station and a small walk from the centre. Not to mention the beautiful views, well kept gardens and clean surroundings. We also had a porter take our luggage up and down the hill both on arrival and departure, which was great in the hot... more

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
