Hotel Elios Tao

Great quiet location and close (walking distance) to all tourist sites and about 10 minute walk from Taormina bus terminal. And gondola. Professional snd friendly staff. Good filling Euro breakfast with terrace view. We had a quad sea view room and the view of the ocean, Mt.Etna, and Naxos Bay were excellent from the small but sufficient room balcony. Would stay here again.

This hotel is in town so all the tourist places are nearby. Rooms are good but compartively small. But overall experience is worth the money

Was a good location. Room and clean. There is elevator in the hotel for heavy luggage. Breakfast was simple. Only drawback was there is noise in the corridor and thumping noises which can be heard from upstairs. Overall worth it.

For the price we paid, the room served its purpose as a place to sleep at night, however the cleanliness of the facilities was substandard. The shower tray had black patches on it, as if not cleaned properly in an extremely long time. The bathroom was very dated, with cracked tiles on the wall which had been filled in with grout countless times. The room itself was extremely basic, with no facilities other than beds, a tv and an air conditioning unit. The location was okay, but quite a walk from the bus stops and main areas, so expect quite a walk. The balcony is also only big enough to fit a tiny metal bistro table and 2 chairs, no room to actually sit or move around on. There is however a lovely terrace on the 4th floor with nice views of Taormina. I would not stay here again, but as I say, for the price, it’s cheap and cheerful, but did not even live up to a 2 star hotel in reality.

For the same price, or just a few pennies more, one can stay somewhere that doesn’t require taking turns to move in the room, like a live-action Tetris game. Horrible value for price. Out of date. Horrid pillows. No water given. A/C either full blast or too hot. No blankets. Wifi and television off/on. Other things that didn’t work were fixed. It looks like there’s a deck where one could pass time, but it turns into a restaurant at night, so that leaves the drab room. Breakfast was decent. Staff super nice and helpful. Great location. But not worth the price.
