Park Hotel Silemi

“Perfect stay in Sicily”

The location of the hotel is perfect, steps down and your on the beach. Enough (free) sunbeds, basically private beach. Water is crystal clear!!

The location of the hotel is perfect, steps down and your on the beach. Enough (free) sunbeds, basically private beach. Water is crystal clear!! Life savers working through the day watching the beach and pool. The pool was surprisingly big and very nice overall. Breakfast was also very good and view from the restaurant to the sea was stunning. Size of the hotel room for three persons was enough and cleaners did super clean every day. All the hotel employees are very kind, polite and helpful. Hotel is a bit far from the town, if you have restrictions with mobility. For us it was not a problem to walk by the beautiful boulevard. Bus transfer very close of the hotel to the town and short time with bus to Taormina from the center of the Letojanni. Lovely place, I would definitely go for a second visit.

“Relaxing on the Ionian Sea”

Vintage family owned hotel conveniently located to Lido Letoganni and Taormina. First class service and food. Authentic Sicilian cuisine. Returned 18 months later for another seven days.

“The Time Warp”

If you want a luxury hotel, don't go there. This hotel stays stubbornly somewhere in the 70s, which is kind of charming. They may have done a little bit of renovation (Italian style, sloppy white painting slashed over red bricks etc), but there's no way around it: I have no idea how it got 4 stars.… more

If you want a luxury hotel, don't go there. This hotel stays stubbornly somewhere in the 70s, which is kind of charming. They may have done a little bit of renovation (Italian style, sloppy white painting slashed over red bricks etc), but there's no way around it: I have no idea how it got 4 stars. The light on the balcony didn't work, instead of fixing it, they gave us a portable reading light. The curtains (on a string mechanism) either won't shut, or won't open. The roll down shutters came crashing down one day and wouldn't open again.... It all seems to be held together with a peace of sticky tape. But again, that was also charming, as it isn't one of those soulless tourist silos you see in Spain for example. The breakfast was exactly the same for two weeks, the eggs have no taste, the salami and ham was nice, but not for two weeks... Everyday you had to chase the waiters to refill the water as nobody could drink the sugary artificial chemical stuff that comes out of the "juice" dispenser. The staff at breakfast also takes great pleasure scratching the metal chairs over the tiles, instead of lifting them, making a hell of a noise. The rooms are of good size, the a/c works very well, safe and fridge are for free. Mattresses are good and all is very clean. The shower cabin, made of cheap plastic, is very small, luckily we are rather skinny ;). The balconies are private and quiet big with a view that is just amazing. The waves are noisy because of the pebble beach, and it is nice to fall asleep with the rhythm of the ocean. The staff was nice and helpful, when they were not busy talking among themselves, which they seem to do all the time. Only bad surprise: When checking out we were presented with a bill for water, which we thought was complementary, as it was written nowhere that they charge 2€ for a miniature bottle of water. It's not the 10€, it's the feeling of being taken for a ride. Just go down to the little superette, and you get 1.5 litres for a couple of cents. The hotel is a bit off side, but Lettojanni is only 15 minutes walk. No big deal.

“So and so”

It's a 4 star hotel on paper. When you first arrive, you'll notice that the hotel was once a great hotel, but lacks investments or modernization. The room smell like old furniture (deluxe room). Luckily, the smell goes away in a couple of days (or we got used to it). Our bathroom door (probably s… more

It's a 4 star hotel on paper. When you first arrive, you'll notice that the hotel was once a great hotel, but lacks investments or modernization. The room smell like old furniture (deluxe room). Luckily, the smell goes away in a couple of days (or we got used to it). Our bathroom door (probably since the hotel was built) didn't close as there was an issue with the doorknob. It took them 3 days of consecutive calls and complaints to fix it. We left in the 4th day... The noise isolation is a joke. We were woken up each morning by the cleaning lady on the hall that felt like she's shouting, but she used a normal volume. Noise isolation with the neighboring rooms is also poor. There was a family with a baby next door and we could hear the baby as it would have been in the same room. Breakfast is poor in choices but tasty. Parking is so and so. Not many places to park, but reasonable. On the positive side, the view from the room is amazing. There is this huge terrace with sunbeds that display the most spectacular view.
