Messina hotel rooms a the Independent

"My stay at the Splendid Hotel in Taormina was absolutely wonderful. The location couldn’t be better - just a short walk to the town center and the cable car that takes you down to the sea. It’s the perfect base to explore everything Taormina has to offer. What truly stood out, though, was how warm and welcoming the atmosphere was from the moment I arrived. The hotel has a charming, relaxing vibe, and the staff made me feel completely at home. A special mention goes to Mohammed at the front desk, who was incredibly kind, professional, and always ready to help. Whether I needed directions, recommendations, or just a friendly conversation, Mohammed was consistently attentive and thoughtful. His hospitality made my stay even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a hotel with a great location and genuinely caring staff, the Splendid Hotel is a fantastic choice. I am already looking forward to my next visit!"

"Wonderful and quaint! Beautiful views, the pool Is amazing!"

"Amazing stay. The room and property were gorgeous and the view was even better. It was a short walk to restaurants and the main pedestrian street in Taormina. Just far enough away to be relaxing but close enough to be convenient. I highly recommend staying here!"

"We loved this hotel. It's in a beautiful location, and a short walk to the cable car which takes you into Taormina/Corso Umberto (shops, restaurants, exploring, people watching etc). The staff, concierge, service in all areas of the hotel and cleanliness was outstanding. Amazing breakfast selection, great restaurant and amusing entertainment in the evening. Nice pool area, and sun deck, although to get into the sea, you need 'swimming shoes' as the bottom is rocky. The gym could have been bigger, it's in a glass cube which gets the sun very early. It was over 30 degrees at 7.30am which made the workout harder that it should have been! Great view though! There's train line behind the hotel, which I hadn't seen mentioned in other reviews, although it didn't impact us, as it was relatively quiet. Overall we loved this hotel, would definitely recommend and hope to return in the future. "

"This was the one of the best hotel stay’s that I have ever had. The concierge and front desk personnel were extremely kind and helpful. Also the location of the hotel was amazing, we were a 3 min walk from the cable car that goes into the city center. The hotel is right on the beach which is so convenient. I could go on and on about how wonderful our stay was!! "

"Amazing. Simply amazing"
