What used to be a grand hotel in Taormina is now a rather dated and worn out hotel showing its age. It needs a makeover! That said, there are great views of Mt Etna and the sea and the hotel is centrally located near the Greek theater and the public park, many shops and great walking and streets to explore nearby. Breakfast was rather lackluster but good pasties. Nothing spectacular at the hotel. Rather tired and old.
