I would describe our stay at Hotel Kristina 'satisfactory'. As others have mentioned the hotel is in desparate need of a makeover and their plumbing definitely needs attending to as I was often woken by a nasty odour coming from the bathroom. The room was very basic but the view of Mt Etna is fantastic from the balcony. The staff... more

I stayed here with friends for a week. During our stay I have to say it was one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in, here's some of the reasons it was so bad: 1. The room was supposed to be a triple room, it was a tiny room with three single beds pushed together, the bathroom's decor was... more

Not a great hotel, it has a peculiar smell, some rooms are connected acoustically with other rooms, so you can hear quite a bit from other rooms. Service is good and polite, breakfast is nos so great, lousy coffee. The location is very good considering the price. Usually one of the cheapest options in Taormina an many rooms have a... more

This is such a lovely hotel. It's not posh or luxurious by any stretch of the imagination, but it is clean and the staff are friendly, and the views are fantastic! We had a room on the third floor with a balcony overlooking Taormina with views across the bay and of Etna. At night you could sit on the balcony... more

We have just returned from a week long stay at this hotel. We found all the staff very friendly and very helpful at all times during our stay. The reception, dining room and pool areas were very well maintained and very clean. The hotel is in a wonderful position for views out to sea and towards Mount Etna, however being... more

A really nice family run hotel, in good walking distance of Taormina's main town (although be warned, the hotel is at the top of a fairly steep hill, so you need at least a basic level of fitness). Although the rooms are basic (some showers don't even have a door and the rooms could do with a little modernisation), they... more

The superb views of Etna was the big plus for staying at this hotel. Rooms were small and dated, bathroom tiny, smelled of drains and had the smallest shower I've ever been in ! Good secure garage for hire car (5e per day), but with awkward access from street. Many tour groups use hotel, poor breakfast and abrupt serving wench... more

It was ok, in great need of modernisation as i would imagine are most hotels here. Breakfast was minimal!! Breakfast girl was quite rude and abrupt, as was the hotel owner towards the end of my stay. Rooms were ok, quite small, views however were lovely. Air con was great for cooling the room but this went off during the... more
