Hotel entrance is not clear and with very steep and narrow slop.

The view and location. But a bit pricey.

Monte Tauro requires a general facdlift. Had stayed there over 30 years ago. Nothing has changed. The property needs livening up. The steep hill from the hotel is a killer.

The location and layout.

Stayed in August 2024

Hotel located below a mountain and you will need to walk about 50-60 meters downhill, so if you old, or can’t walk long stairs step it will be a struggle. Also going up it very steep and I won’t recommended to people with health or walking issues.

Location in the heart on the town

Nothing. However I would suggest having teaspoons in the room for coffee and a better selection of hot beverages and fresh fruit platters by the pool bar. Also the use of the pool for children should be at specific times so as to allow other people to enjoy some quiet time.

The location is superb compared to the other hotels. Its quiet with no cars passing by and the views are spectacular. The staff are extremely friendly, helpful and passion in what they do. It was a big surprise in finding a bottle of chilled spumante in the room on arrival. Much appreciated.

Smell in our first room, staff were very accommodating and changed us to another room which was lovely.

Loved the position, a small walk up the hill and you were in the town.

The hotel services such as drinks and food left something to be desired. I found it very expensive for what it offers.

the hotel is very central and comfortable. has a good breakfast.

Service was inconsistent at the pool bar. Pool area is small. Outdated property. Loses water pressure when a lot of people are showering. Very tight room for 3 adults- is probably fine for 2 adults but it’s on the small side

Great location. Great views. Very Clean. Concierge was great! Nice private balcony with amazing view

The bad - 1. Maintenance issues: The hotel was built in the seventies, and while everything was well thought out back then, maintenance has not kept up. There are visible signs of wear and tear, and both the rooms and some public areas are in desperate need of renovation. 2. Room amenities: There are no kettles or coffee machines in the rooms. although you can request and get a kettle. Additionally, there are no irons available, not even on request, and only external laundry and ironing services are offered. The TV screens are small, which isn't a big issue since you’re unlikely to spend much time watching TV, but it's worth mentioning. 3. The area around the pool was littered with eucalyptus leaves from nearby trees, which detracted from the otherwise pleasant environment. 4. Outdated key system: The hotel still uses actual keys and keychains instead of keycards, which would be more convenient for guests. 5. The bar was inactive during our stay. 6. The addition of a spa would be a fantastic enhancement if included in future renovations. The unacceptable - We booked a room with a balcony and premium see view. Due to a mistake (these things happen) we were allocated to a room with lateral see view. We were eventually moved to a room with premium see view, but no refund was issued. I feel that a complimentary bottle of prosecco is insufficient as compensation for the inconvenience.

The good - 1. The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic - You couldn’t ask for a better spot to explore Taormina It’s just a 2-minute walk from the entrance to the gardens of Villa Comunale, a 5-minute walk from Corso Umberto, and about a 10-minute walk from the ancient theater. 2. The views of the sea are simply stunning. 3. Wonderful Staff: The staff are warm, welcoming, and very attentive. Special mention goes to the breakfast buffet team, the swimming pool staff, and Mara and Giovanni at the front desk, who took excellent care of us. 4. The breakfast selection is very good and the swimming pool is wonderful. 5. Despite the room being old, the beds themselves are comfortable.

No iron in the room but do have a chargeable ironing service, not enough sunbeds by the pool & they filled up quite quickly especially as we went more into the summer. Very steep slope with option of steps outside the hotel to get into the streets of Taormina itself.

Amazing views, spotlessly clean, perfect location, good amenities, excellent air conditioning, staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly, complimentary water & fruit in reception, very modern, option of having meals at the hotel. Great pool attendants who were firm with rules. Overall a touch of luxury!

Looking somewhat run down, needs to be freshend up . The decking around the pool was old my foot went through the wood. Out side patios are starting to show their age, and hotel is looking tiered.

Location, views, easeyto access and park.

Slightly overpriced in the summer season, but this is taormina.

Exceptional view of the underlying bays with a side view of Mount Etna as a bonus. Rooms are private and exceptionally cool especially in the summer months. Staff and breakfast was great, lunch at the pool restaurant was also very good. ALSO VERY CENTRALLY LOCATED

The shower in the room was in a small bathtub. It became very slippery with the use of soap and hairproducts. The pool constantly made loud sounds from the water circulation ports.

Polite and very helpfull staff. Great pool area with a bar. Drinks and food available. Perfect ocean view. The room was great and modern. Big balcony. Very close to the city center.

The hotel is showing its age. Hopefully, Eurostars will invest in upgrading the aged interiors of the rooms.

Very good location with excellent views.

Sometimes it was a bit noisy at night and no room service after 3pm was a bit tricky sometimes with a kid but so many incredible Restaurants

We loved the location and the breakfast was incredible. One of our best ever. It was so stunning and relaxing with the view and the staff were very helpful and friendly

To walk into town you need to walk up a very steep narrow street incline maybe 50 steps and paved to reach the restaurants and shops of Taormina which is itself a lot of steps. We knew this when booking so it was expected. The main elevator broke the day before we checked out.

Mid sized room with fantastic views, a terrace and good sized pool a short (uphill) walk into Taormina. Eurostars has 8 floors with the reception on the top floor and a glass open elevator takes you down to the room floors and bottom floor is pool. I read the reviews before booking this location and I would say it exceeded my expectations. While yes some things were a little dated in terms of hotel design, I found the ample variety at breakfast, attentive and friendly staff, daily cleaning of room and pool (larger than Belmond Timeo) was much appreciated during the heatwave we experienced.

The hotel, while I appreciate the history, could have some more personal touches in the rooms. And a gym would be a valuable asset.

The view is exceptional, pool area with stunning views of the hotel which is a truly stunning brutalist building set among a sumptuous landscape. The staff were super helpful and Pancrazio behind the bar was the kindest and loveliest part of our evenings.
