Hotel Victoria

In the heart of Taormina...very old building with lots of stairs. No question about the prime location. Had to park car at a central garage and taking the shuttle bus to the old city center, walk another 100 meters...

The hotel is in the middle of the old town, which was perfect for sightseeing. We arrived in the middle of a very warm weather and the A/C was broken for a week what made our stay a little unpleasant. Although the property has an elevator for the main floors, it also has a lot of stairs and small steps which can be a problem for seniors. Staff is friendly and always up to help! Breakfast is great with orange juice, nice cappuccinos, cakes, different bread and fruits. The taxi can’t enter the old city, so you must carry your bags for around 200m (like for almost all other hotels in that area). And because you are at a very very touristy place, look for restaurants in advance to find great meals. Taxis from/to the station are around 20 euros (Oct 2023) but once in the old town, you won’t need car anymore. Don’t leave without tasting the gelato at Gelatomania — although the name seems from the 80’s, it is the best in town (including odd flavors like lavanda and ginger!).

You are right on the Corso with this property. Lovley. It is a bit dated in the bathroom, but clean!! So if you are really large, or need a 5 star bathroom, this is not for you. If you are flexible, stay here and go visit the roof. If you are driving: Park at the Lumbe and take the shuttle to the main part of the city. The Lumbe costs 24 euros for 2 days of parking. That we didn't know that at first made the trip to Taormina a bit more interesting!

Central location in Taormina. Helpful, polite staff. Good breakfast. No lobby or guest lounge. Once you park at Lumbi (fee for parking) and take free bus to Taormina, walk through the stone arch (Porta Messina) onto the main street and continue until you see Hotel Victoria (green sign, yellow printing) on your right.

Ótima localização. A única observação negativa é sobre o frigobar, ela não gela, só refresca os itens, nem pensar em colocar perecível.

Great location close to everything and right on the main pedestrian street. Super host Luigi, Pietro and Salvatore are very helpful and knowledgeable. Parking is not great, you must park at Lumbi and the shuttle is very irregular, otherwise great stay. Warning: avoid the tourist trap restaurants and stores. Shop and dine outside the tourist zones.

Very small rooms. Just barely able to get in tiny shower and I'm not a huge person. No a/c before summertime, no ceiling fans. Street noise is horrible when you are forced to open window. Bed is hard as a rock. and paper-thin pillows.

Centrally located on corso umberto, a pedestrian street, so its impossible to drive up to- keep that in mind. I don't drive; the walk from the bus station is about 15 mins, 10 to the cable car and all the other sites in town. Youre in the heart if it, with tons of restaurants and shops right there. Also includes a very good breakfast: continental, but a lot of options.

Hyggelig personale, grei standard. Ligger midt i en travel gågate i hjertet av Taormina. Vi parkerte i et parkeringshus utenfor byen og benyttet oss av en gratis shuttlebuss som gikk opp til sentrum.

The hotel is located on the main promenade in the heart of Taormina. 5 minute walk to outstanding restaurants and Ancient Greek Theater. Staff was super friendly and provided a free daily breakfast. Very closed to both cheap bus and taxi service. Taormina is located on a mountain and parking would be difficult if renting a car. The town is the jewel of Sicily!

Very lovely, clean hotel with a warm ambiance and great location.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Victoria. The hotel is very centrally located in the old town, close to shopping, cafes/restaurants and tourist attractions. We could easily access the public bus service. The hotel is a bit quirky and traditional in decor, however very clean and with a good sized modern bathroom. The buffet breakfast was very good. The staff from reception, catering and cleaning were so very polite and helpful.

A wonderfully central hotel. Staff friendly from the moment you step in, Luigi and Salvador very helpful. Room very clean and breakfast good. Catering staff fantastic and attentive. Will definitely return

Impeccably clean , delightful staff, breakfast good but a delight to have freshly squeezed orange juice. Terrific location.

L’hôtel est extrêmement propre ! Il est parfaitement situé ! Au centre de tout !! Le personnel est super sympathique et les chambres sont assez grande. Le style est un peu vieillot mais c’est ce qui donne à l’hôtel son charme!! J’ai adoré et je recommande ! Je retournerais à cet hôtel sans hésitation !

Location was perfect, staff was wonderful and breakfast was great. Hotel is very clean and rooms are spacious. Beds were very hard and 1 pillow was flat and the other was too big. Stall shower was very tight.

We stayed at the Hotel Victoria for 4 nights as a family of 4 with two teenage boys. Two rooms next to each other on the second floor. The hotel is in an enviable location on Corso Umberto, right in the heart of Taormina. This is a no frills hotel but it was perfect for us. The rooms are large and clean. Fresh towels were provided daily. Breakfast was standard European - cereals, bread, ham, cheese etc and more than enough. Luigi and Salvatore on the main desk were knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Our Godfather Tour was cancelled with very little notice and Salvatore recommended and arranged a private 3-hour taxi tour to take us to the same places with less than an hour’s notice - one of the best things we did. We highly recommend the Hotel Victoria and all the staff - thank you for a wonderful stay!

This an absolutely lovely hotel in the center of Taormina’s shopping and dining district. The hotel is impeccably clean and full of charm. The staff were exceptional! In addition to being extremely friendly, they are incredibly helpful with information regarding Taormina, including transportation and dining options. The breakfast was excellent with fresh pastries served hot from the oven every day, and fresh squeezed orange juice on demand. The turn down service was also great with fresh towels and room tidying provided daily. I stayed here as a solo traveller for five nights in July 2025, and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a reasonably priced hotel in one of the best locations in Taormina.

Our stay at Hotel Victoria was absolutely lovely and a truly memorable experience. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Taormina, and the hotel itself is a historical gem. As the second hotel ever built in the city, dating back over 140 years, it exudes a timeless charm that you simply can't find in modern establishments. The building itself is beautiful, with classic Sicilian architecture that feels both grand and welcoming. The rooms were spacious and the bathrooms were spotless, showing a great attention to detail. Every day, we returned to a clean and comfortable space, which made a huge difference. The staff were a true highlight of our visit. The twin brothers at the reception desk were amazing, always greeting us with a smile and a willingness to help with anything we needed, from restaurant recommendations to directions. Their local knowledge and genuine kindness made us feel like valued guests. The breakfast was nothing short of amazing. The selection was vast, with fresh local fruits, pastries, and a variety of hot and cold options. The ladies working at the breakfast service were delightful and always full of energy, making sure everyone started their day off right. Their lively presence added to the warm and friendly atmosphere of the hotel. Hotel Victoria is more than just a place to stay; it's a part of Taormina's history, with a warmth and charm that makes you feel right at home. It's the perfect blend of old-world elegance and modern comfort.

Trevligt hotel med spännande historik. Välhållet. Bra frukost. Trevlig hjälpsam personal. Rent och snyggt. Oscar Wilde bodde här 1895. Centralt i Taormina.

Friendly staff. Terrible wifi. Airconditioning was a bonus. Some bathroom features need to be fixed.

Sødeste lille hotel med en vintage Vibe. Jeg boede i det fineste lille solo værelse med en stor altan ud til baggården. Der var helt stille. Ejerne var så skønne, søde og hjælpsomme og personalet til morgenmaden var søde og hjælpsomme, når jeg testede mit italienske. Skøn beliggenhed, sov fantastisk! Vil til en hver tid anbefale Hotel Victoria!

The reception staff (Pierro and his twin brother) were really lovely and helpful, especially when I had to change my arrival plans. And the buffet breakfast was excellent too. The room was nice and quiet even though it faced the street.

Loved the location and the building. The room was large and had a private balcony.

Location was perfect, staff was wonderful and breakfast was great. Hotel is very clean and rooms are spacious. Beds were very hard and 1 pillow was flat and the other was too big. Stall shower was very tight.

For the amount of money paid, it was not worth the stay. The room was extremely dark, the shower stall was very small and tight I had to open one of the shower doors to shave my legs and wash my body (I’m 4’11 and a small-med build), and the shower head did not work very well it was spraying water from the spout. I had to pump the knob on the toilet to make it flush, and the mattress was old and you could feel the springs when you laid down. The staff however were amazing and the hotel was conveniently located on the corso umberto strip which was great. The owners of the hotel should consider fixing the interior rooms and upgrading the lights. I would not recommend this hotel.

This hotel is extremely central to the city centre, in a fabulous location. The staff are lovely, very friendly and happy to go over and above to assist. The only feedback I have is that the bed/pillows are on on the firm side, which didn’t suit my preferences (understandably that is very subjective).

Hotel Victoria was in a very convenient location. There is good things to say about this hotel, the staff, very friendly, and the location was a amazing right at the heart of the shopping district. The downside to this hotel is that it was very uncomfortable. The double bed is made up of two single beds on a wood platform. As soon as I sat on the bed, I knew we were going to have a problem. You could feel the wood through the mattress. We were there for four days, after the first day my body hurts so bad because the mattress so hard. My husband went down to the front desk at offered to pay for some kind of a liner or mattress cover. But they wouldn’t. On the second day, we tried stacking four blankets together to soften the bed cover, but it still was hard. The thing is if I’m going on vacation I want to have at least a bed I can sleep in. He said all of the rooms have the same mattress and they’re all hard. So if you want a good vacation at a great location, but don’t care about your sleep. This is a great hotel. But if you care about your comfort levels, this is not a good hotel for you. It honestly was like sleeping on the floor. The breakfast was OK, nothing special. It consisted of meat, cheese, and bread and cold boiled eggs, but that I could deal with. The hotel was very clean and the room was very clean. one final thing, the shower was so small that if you’re over 200 pounds good luck getting it there. We’re not big people, but we had to turn sideways

Very small rooms. Just barely able to get in tiny shower and I'm not a huge person. No a/c before summertime, no ceiling fans. Street noise is horrible when you are forced to open window. Bed is hard as a rock. and paper-thin pillows.

The location is great, the staff was kind and helpful, enjoyed the balcony, and the breakfast is appreciated! The bathroom was very small and the bed and pillows were so hard.

Hotel Victoria is a great place to stay - it is in the heart of Taormina, in the middle of the best places to shop, eat and drink in the town. The staff at Hotel Victoria are incredibly friendly and really make you feel welcome.

There are pros and cons in this location pros are the location is fantastic and the staff is super friendly and helpful the cons, never ever take luggage with you as it’s located at the top of a hill which requires carrying your luggage and no one will help you to do so. This works for both checking and check out. Also, the shower, too small and the room is too dark.

Great location close to everything and right on the main pedestrian street. Super host Luigi, Pietro and Salvatore are very helpful and knowledgeable. Parking is not great, you must park at Lumbi and the shuttle is very irregular, otherwise great stay. Warning: avoid the tourist trap restaurants and stores. Shop and dine outside the tourist zones.

Fabulous hotel in the middle of Taormina, perfect position on the main street where there are boutiques and plenty of restaurants with great views of the coastline. The quiet hotel has lovely, friendly staff and the breakfast each morning was delicious.

Awesome location. Staff excellent. Breakfast quality & ample. Only critique where the beds were bit hard. Overall an outstanding value for the accommodations and location. Would highly recommend.
