What guests think

At Hotel San Giovanni, guests praise a beachside location and genuinely friendly staff, while finding rooms spacious with balconies but noting thin walls, traffic or corridor noise, and air conditioning that can struggle in heat.

Most reviewers find the property clean, though one reported a dated, dirty bathroom. Breakfast is widely liked, but several say it skews sweet with many cakes and very sweet juice. Other notes include firm beds, occasional in-room Wi‑Fi issues, paid parking nearby, and a private beach across the street that costs extra. Good for travelers seeking straightforward comforts by the beach.

Ok 3 star hotel. Property was old but well kept. AC couldn’t keep up with the high heat outside. Very good breakfast spread. 15eur/day parking at 5 minutes walk, otherwise street parking in front of the hotel but meters did not work with credit card (also 15eur/day). Private hotel beach across the street (not free) with free public beach right next to it.

Vi besøkte hotellet i juli 2024. Bodde på rom for 3, nr. 301. Veldig fint rom og gode senger (standarden i Italia er jo noe lavere enn i andre land). Hyggelig betjening, god mottakelse og oppfølging fra de ansatte, spesielt Thomas Massimo. Hotellet har fin beliggenhet, kun 50 meter fra den private stranden. Det er også 50 meter til bussholdeplassen hvor bussen til Taormina stopper. Gode restauranter i gangavstand. Lørdag var det karaokekveld som vi kunne nyte fra terassen ut mot gaten og torget foran den lokale kirken. Typisk italiensk frokost med søtsaker, toast, rundstykker og litt pålegg. Alt i alt et flott opphold og en fin opplevelse. På hotellet får man billett til den private stranden. Betaler man får flere dager er man sikret faste plasser. Velg gjerne senger til høyre på stranden om man ønsker å ligge lenge. Solen forsvinner rundt kl 16/17. Vi er fornøyde med å ha bodd nær stranden og heller reise til Taormina på kvelden. Litt knotete hvis man velger det motsatte. Takk for en flott opplevelse! Vi kommer gjerne tilbake🤗

Hotel was clean . Breakfast was the best so far. Breakfast staff & cleaning staff were so kind. Reception many different we’re soo kind. We had a dental emergency while staying there. A lady at the front reception (I think she was the owner) called a local dentist and explained my husband’s pain. We were able to see the dentist immediately. We had to cancel our trip to Palermo and stay there an extra 4 days. The entire staff treated us so well. Asking how we were doing every time they saw us. Definitely felt like family to us.

Nice sized room with refrigerator and a terrace. Good bathroom with big towels! Many and comfortable pillows. Only thing is that the bed is hard and as normally down i Europe they don't have mattress toppers. Breakfast had a lot of cakes and unhealthy things. The juice was so sweet we could not drink it. But there was yoghurt! Wished the hotel had been closer to the Supermarket. The hotel staff was nice. We had a lovely cat family outside our terrace. That was the best thing with this stay.
