Excelsior Palace gets 5⭐️! Everything was perfect! Great amenities and location, wonderful staff and great food. One night the neighbors above me were very disruptive at night. The staff was very efficient at shutting it down and I got a good night sleep! I will go back.

It was great in general. Great location, good breakfast and good enough hotel in general for what you’re paying for.

Wonderful view and amazing swimming pool

We

We had a comfortable stay at Excelsior Palace Hotel. The pool was fantastic and a real highlight of the property. The location was also very convenient, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. Overall, a pleasant experience and a good choice for a relaxing stay.

Precio calidad exelente

We had a great stay! Decor might feel outdated but room was clean with renovated washroom. Outdoor pool was amazing with breathtaking view of Etna mountain and the sea. Breakfast buffet was great too.

Perfect location at entrance to Main Street of Taormina without hills! Beautiful pool area with magnificent view of the ocean and Mountains Etna. 10 minutes from train station by taxi straight uphill you can’t walk. Traffic to and from station can be backed up so leave extra time to get there. Breakfast is very good! 7:30 to 10:30 am Most drinks are 15 Euros We will be back!!

The hotel is run down and it shows. But it's location and views of the sea are excellent. The staff were responsive but not particularly friendly. Nobody asked us how our stay was. Breakfast is ok. The breakfast room faces the sea. But all the windows were closed and all the curtains drawn making the room extremely hot and uncomfortable.

This is a beautiful hotel with breathtaking views and a great location. Our room was large (compared to some European hotels). The bathroom was new. The pool area is gorgeous, again spectacular views. The bar area is nice and there was a piano player in the evening. Valet parking was terrific. Breakfast was great. Only reason for 4 versus 5 is that the hotel is a bit tired. However, when compared to €2600 of San Domingo Palace, this is a gem.

Nice hotel at the perfect location just at the start of town. Also close to the main public parking. Definitely dated and needs a refresh but overall all comfortable and cle

Did not use

Everything about the place is excellent. Beautiful hotel with gorgeous views. Highly recommend.

What used to be a grand hotel in Taormina is now a rather dated and worn out hotel showing its age. It needs a makeover! That said, there are great views of Mt Etna and the sea and the hotel is centrally located near the Greek theater and the public park, many shops and great walking and streets to explore nearby. Breakfast was rather lackluster but good pasties. Nothing spectacular at the hotel. Rather tired and old.

Very helpful staff, spacious clean rooms and great location with fantastic views

Reception staff were friendly, restaurant staff cold but attentive. Breakfast buffet was very nice. There was construction throughout our stay on the floor below us. Loud hammering and sawing starting at 9:00am which continued until 3:00pm. Hot water was not available in the late evening, which made for an unpleasant shower two nights of our stay.

It was a well run establishment. Every detail was well thought out and attended to. Therefore nothing stood out it just felt perfect.

Menu was fresh. Basic options

The location is excellent. The staff are excellent, very helpful and welcoming. View of Etna sunrise and sunset, with cocktails (Taormina) should not be missed. Hotel has old school charm. Room was comfortable with great views. Breakfast is very good with a wide choice of food.

Air conditioning was very dated and seemed pretty weak- and it wasn’t that hot when we stayed there in early October. Also TVs were small for room size and the streaming services didn’t really work effectively because of limitations of the WiFi system. Loved the high ceilings and grand old hotel style furniture, furnishings and feel
