We read the reviews and found the negative comments to be way off the mark. The parking is not "sketchy". It's behind a closed gate. The area is not "shady", it was very comfortable. The noise from the airport...well, if you need to be close to the airport, you're gonna hear planes!!! Duh! Yes it is directly under the flight path. Yes it is noisy. So bring a sound machine or put on an app on your phone to drown it out. It is also steps from the sandy beach. We almost booked a different hotel because of these comments and I'm so glad that we didn't and stayed here instead. That being said, The staff was super friendly and helpful. There were two gentleman at the entrance that helped us find the right place to check in and park. They had a great sense of humor that made our day. The hotel staff was so very nice and accommodating. Spoke great English. He was from Sri Lanka and his name was Guna,Guva...Can't remember, but he was excellent and so friendly and helpful. He made a comment that after our stay we will have wished we stayed there for our vacation. He wasn't far off! The area was perfect! 7 Minutes to the Airport, which is why we needed to stay there. Our travel company had our stay in Taormina, but our flight out of Catania was at 6 am. We would have had to leave Taormina by 2:00-2:30 am to get to Catania to catch our flight. Not nice at all! So we decided to book this room.

We were here off season and loved this place. It felt like a spring break type town right on a stunning beach. Airport jets flew s incredibly low on their approach to land. Mt Etna was beautiful in the distance. The room was old but large and was well taken care of. It had a full kitchen and fridge with absolutely no kitchen items such as dishes, silverware, cooking pans. Bring everything you need as if going camping if you intend to cook in the room. The windows once looked out to the ocean which was steps away but were blocked out with semi transparent art decals. This place probably rocks if you’re young at high season.

The beds were okay, we had a sofa, fridge, a table with two chairs just outside the door and inside also. A lot of trees around and cats, a beach, nice in the evening to go for a walk. If you enjoy the quiet, I suggest to go in winter since it's not busy but in summer it's noisy.

It is an ideal hotel if you come here to enjoy the beach and sea side. Very close to the beach and airport. Convenient to go to the town by bus but the bus timetable is not really precise. The breakfast is same every day and very limited choices. The staffs are very friendly and helpful.

Location, outside if the crowds, good espresso, parking inside the fences, stuff friendly. Lidl market within walking range. Great beach and view towards Aetna, also good for aviation spotters - located at the end if a runway. I did not mind the noise of starting planes.

Well situated just above the beach. Quite basic standard but if you’re just in to live near the city and want to hang on the beach during the day it’s awesome. Nice restaurant and beach bar.

Great spot on the beach. Very friendly staff. The orange juice at breakfast was the best I have ever had! The room was clean and had AC and a fridge. The bus to the city center is very close too and costs only 1 Euro.
