Plus points: Property is well located in the main town and all staff were friendly, helpful and amazing. Breakfast was ok but plenty of places to go out and get something nearby. Views from the hotel were great as well. Negative points: Pool area especially the decking area needed some repair and maintenance. Room was ok but shower had no pressure and kept running hot and cold while using it. Also shower could have done with a better clean. Lift was out of order for a couple of days. Other point to note: If you like a firm mattress you will sleep well in the beds.

We had a wonderful time at Il Piccolo Giardino - the hotel is in a great location with direct access to the pedestrian streets of beautiful Taormina. The cable car to Mazzaro is also only a 5 walk away. The hotel staff were so lovely and accomodating and provided us with information and recommendations. We enjoyed the simple buffet breakfasts. The rooftop pool is small but offers a nice view and a place to cool off the in the summer heat. If you have a car I would recommend using the valet service, which gave us a small discount on our parking but was also super convenient as the car was only ever a 10 minute wait and we didn’t need to walk/climb the stairs in the heat. We are returning to Taormina next year and would definitely consider staying here again.

Worst hotel I've ever stayed in after traveling to over 20 countries. Shameful service. I booked the balcony room on Expedia and the photos all showed the water from the room. This is the reason why I booked the hotel in the first place. When I arrived, I was given a key for the 1st floor and was very confused because the view could not be like what's shown in Expedia from ground level. I ended up being right and the view was of the inner courtyard. So I basically paid extra and wasted money for no reason. With that said, DO NOT SPEND EXTRA ON THE "balcony". On top of that, I left a "room in use" sign on my door and the maid still opened it while I was In the room. I went to reception and complained about this and was gaslighted and told that I had the sign on the "Enter" side, which is completely false, I would never do this. The person at reception was very rude about it and kept insisting that I was in the wrong. Next, I closed the sliding door to my bathroom one night and the door just locked by itself, so I had to call reception to unlock the door. Thank god I was not on the inside, otherwise, I would have been stuck in. Lastly, when I checked out and tried to pay the city tax, the woman at the front desk told me that I can only pay in cash and this was explained to me at check in and written on the reservation. IT WAS NOT EXPLAINED TO ME AT CHECK IN AND IT WAS NOT WRITTEN IN THE RESERVATION. So I had to go take out cash at an ATM for this.

Hotel Piccolo Giardini is a lovely small hotel up 3 flights of stairs from Corso Umberto I. We had a wheelchair user with us and were able to access via the rear entrance on Via Giovanni Bosco where there are 3 or 4 steps down but there is a stairlift and a lift to all floors in which a wheelchair will fit. Rooms are bright, clean and comfortable. Rooftop views wonderful. Pool small and very cool but welcome on a hot day. The piccolo giardini is a charming refuge. Staff are friendly but this is more of self service as no bar or restaurant open all day.

Positives included the hotel being in a great, central location - walk straight out of the hotel into the pedestrianised area of Taormina. Breakfast was also good, with a selection of fresh fruit, hot and cold food that you can eat either inside or in the garden. And the staff were friendly and helpful - reception available until midnight and out of hours emergency number provided. They also booked a taxi for us on our last day. Negatives include that the superior double room we booked was fairly small although the balcony was a good size, and the small bathroom was internal to the room with no window. Being internal meant the shower was a bit mouldy and the bathroom also wasn’t very clean when we arrived. We told reception about this and it was addressed but still wasn’t as clean as I would really expect a hotel bathroom to be. We had stayed in two other locations in Sicily before this hotel and both rooms were much cleaner. There is also limited control over the air conditioning - temp can be set but not fan speed etc. it would have been nice to have an individual air con unit in the room that we could control.

This hotel is in a great area and has so much potential with its super friendly staff. The rooms are small and the bathrooms aren’t great. Ours had an awful smell and showering wasn’t a pleasurable experience. Location can’t be faulted though.

I was traveling alone and meeting friends who were staying at beach. I liked staying in town so I could be more active and explore which I was able to do while also visiting friends at Beach Hotel. Positives about Picollo: location…very friendly and accommodating front desk staff pretty good bkfst. Cons: elevator broken most of week I was on 3rd floor. Bathroom/shower cleanliness. Power went out randomly in room and I had to adjust with circuit box. Frig didn’t work. No place for clothes. I adjusted cause it was a nice trip but it would have been more comfortable otherwise. Shouldn’t be the case even for this class of hotel

In theory, this hotel could be great. Aside from the thin walls and uncomfortable beds, it’s in a great location and the staff is very kind and personable. Unfortunately, we had other, avoidable, issues that made our stay unbearable. Our room was infested with small flies and mosquitos that we spent an hour trying to get rid of because the window was left open by the cleaners late at night. The bathroom had black mold covering the walls and left us both coughing and feeling sick whilst in the room. When we requested to get a refund after the first night due to the health hazard and switch to another hotel, they said no but moved us to another room. This room was also infested with mosquitos and had mold on the curtains. Because of this, we had to sleep with masks on to prevent us from coughing while we were in the room. I would not stay here again and would not recommend this hotel to anyone going to Taormina.
