“An oasis of Sicilian beauty, class and tradition”
We keep coming back here. It’s an oasis of traditional elegance, tranquillity and Sicilian beauty, in the heart of Taormina. The large pool, surrounded by a stunning vegetation and breathtaking views, is probably our favourite part of the hotel. The breakfast is lovely, beautifully served, and offe… more

“Great hotel - ideally located”
Highly recommended! The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Taormina, making it easy to explore the town on foot. The Ancient Theatre is just a 20-minute walk away. Our room was spotless, and the sea view was absolutely stunning. The bathrooms are modern and well-appointed. While you can oc… more

“Breakfast service”
Our most notable experience here at the hotel is our waitress, Angela. She is very welcoming when we come down to breakfast. Angela goes out of her way to make you feel at home. She even helps me with speaking Italian correctly.

“Great location but not a good experience.”
The hotel is a bit tired. We went as part of a coach tour which included dining. Unlike standard guests, we were allocated seating in a room downstairs away from everyone. We stayed at 3 hotels, and the Excelsior was by far the worse food, quality and taste wise. Reception staff did not appear hap… more

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
