We stayed one night - the hotel is very clean, comfortable; staff is very helpful and recommended a great restaurant for our family to enjoy a beautiful evening with delicious food in a garden-setting place. Thank you so much! Breakfast is great with lots of choices and stunning view.

Nice location, amazing view. We had an issue that unfortunately was not solved. We are a couple and got to separate mattress and beds. It is very no -confort to sleep like this. On the second day we asked to change and in reception they told us that they will change to one big mattress. But unfortunately when we arrived back at evening it not happened.

This is a beautiful property, yes it's dated in areas but we were fine with that. Our room was spacious, we had a huge patio and the AC worked well. The views from this hotel are stunning, it's located 5 minute walk from the centre of Taormina, so close enough to everything but away from the crowds. Breakfast was good and the staff at breakfast were very nice. The pool area is lovely but as mentioned by others, not for anyone with mobility issues. The downsides included the smell of cigarette smoke in the hallway every afternoon where our room was. We weren't sure if it was staff members smoking or other guests, but it was very strong. Thankfully it didn't come into our room. None of the front desk staff were helpful with anything or even remotely pleasant, which was very surprising.

8/10 Very good

The Grand Hotel Miramare is a very nice hotel and is well located, we have stayed at the hotel twice. The first time was six years ago and it was excellent in so many ways, however, six years on and it’s become average. The rooms have not been updated at all, they have become dated and very tired, particularly the en-suite condition and facilities. Black mould and a black drain hole in the bath / shower isn’t very appealing, plus I our room the shower head height adjustment was broken so was at the lower part of the travel bar so was too low to use as a shower at above head height. It was fixed by putting the head at the highest setting using electrical insulation tape to stop it slipping down, but then no ability to move the shower head down. Breakfast was good, but average rather than excellent. Overall disappointing this time around and not to the standard expected of a four star hotel. A four star hotel should be excellent in such areas.

The views were amazing from this hotel, pretty much from all areas. They have a large wonderful breakfast buffet with hot and cold food, great coffee and all you can drink mimosas. The bus stop is less than a half block across the street with restaurants all the way up and around top of hill. Lots of fun shops too!’

It would make a world of difference if the rooms were painted. But it is unquestionably a beautiful old school hotel and grounds. I loved once I got past my expectations of what a hotel is supposed to look like.
Lisa, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful panoramic views of Taormina from the balconies and terraces. About 10 minutes walk up hill into the city proper. The front desk can call you a taxi and they arrive fast. Breakfast is simple but in a lovely setting overlooking the sea. No lunch or dinner service. Rooms are on the small side with again lovely views, but cramped showers and dated furnishings.
Christopher, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location with amazing views. The parts of the hotel that have recently been refurbished look great. Some areas seem a little tired, but you can tell that they are refurbishing throughout. The pool area is beautiful but bear in mind that there are a lot of steps to get down to it.
Danielle, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

No dinner available. 185 steps from swimming pool up to hotel. Lovely area at pool but too far away. Beds narrow and not very comfortable. Great location. Near bus station.

This hotel on its day would have been magnificent (in the fifties!) the view is what this hotel is super fantastic and that’s it! Bathroom was terribly small the shower was The worse I have ever experienced! Seriously need upgrading NEVER SHOULD THIS HOTEL BE 4stars except for the amazing view No plugs except for your bed side! So you’re in the dark if you want to charge your phone. One more thing that people need to know! 255 steps to the pool !! And then obviously the same amount back up to get to the lift.😳

The hotel is in an amazing location, with great views from the pool area over Isola Bella and from the rooms (if you are lucky enough to have unrestricted windows). Amenities are rather basic, we stayed for two nights and on both occasions the breakfast ran out (we did notice some other guests that arrived later, like 9ish, complaining to the staff) so definitely arrive nice and early for breakfast! The rooms most definitely need some redecoration to bring them to the modern era. The breakfast and house keeping staff were extremely friendly, polite and attentive wherever possible.
