My stay at The Ashbee Hotel in Taormina was marked by its fantastic location and stunning views, yet I encountered some disappointing aspects regarding cleanliness and service. Although the rooftop breakfast offered a nice experience, I felt the overall quality did not quite meet the expectations set by the hotel's five-star reputation. With really good views and a beautiful garden, I'm left with mixed feelings about recommending it. 🌄

Rooms

I stayed in a Superior Double Room, which was cozy but suffered from a lack of cleanliness upon check-in. Additionally, I encountered noise from the shower of the neighboring room, which disrupted my rest.

Service

6.0

The staff were generally friendly, yet I found them to be somewhat ineffective in resolving issues, particularly related to my room's cleanliness. There was an overall lack of attention to detail that was disappointing.

The hotel's location is fantastic, just a short walk from the main attractions, allowing for easy exploration of Taormina while enjoying a relatively quieter atmosphere. 🌟

Breakfast on the rooftop was a highlight, with a good variety of options and amazing views. It made for a lovely start to my day, although the service could have been faster.

Facilities

The hotel features beautiful gardens and an impressive pool area, but some amenities seemed underwhelming, like the small size of the pool and limited gym equipment.

I had an enjoyable stay at The Ashbee Hotel, with the stunning location and the really good staff standing out the most. The breakfast experience was a bit disappointing given the expectations, but the amazing views and comfortable rooms made up for it. I particularly loved how close it was to the main attractions while still being in a quiet area, allowing for peaceful evenings after exploring Taormina.

Rooms

9.0

The rooms were beautifully appointed, featuring nice linens and a great bathtub, although my room lacked a view (which I was fine with). I appreciated the cozy atmosphere, but I wish the windows were easier to open for fresh air.

Service

10.0

The staff were fantastic throughout my stay, always welcoming and helpful (Bruno really stood out for his restaurant recommendations). They contributed greatly to my positive experience, with most interactions feeling personalized and warm.

Location

9.0

The location was ideal, allowing me to walk just a few minutes to the main street for dining and shopping, yet tucked away enough to enjoy a peaceful retreat. I found the access to nearby attractions very convenient.

Dining

7.0

Breakfast was served on the top floor with lovely views, but the selection left a bit to be desired for a hotel of this caliber (I was hoping for more variety and fresher options). I also missed having more than just the Michelin-star restaurant available for dinner, which limited my dining options.

Facilities

8.0

The facilities included a stunning pool area that I admired, but I found the pool itself needed some maintenance. Additionally, having a bar or lounge area to enjoy a drink in the evenings would enhance the experience significantly.

I had a wonderful time at The Ashbee Hotel, enjoying its beautiful location and stunning views from the infinity pool. The breakfast on the rooftop was delicious, and the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. However, my room was lacking in storage, and I encountered a few minor inconveniences, like flooding in the bathroom after showers.

Rooms

My room was comfortable and well-appointed but lacked adequate storage options. The bathroom was spacious, but it had issues that were a bit annoying, like flooding after every shower.

The staff provided excellent service, especially Anete during breakfast, who always remembered my order. Front desk assistance was also prompt in handling dinner reservations and queries.

I had a wonderful stay at The Ashbee Hotel. The beautiful historic hotel, combined with stunning views, made my experience truly nice. However, I did encounter a minor drainage issue in my room and wished for more extensive dining options in the evenings.

Rooms

My room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, though I did notice some noise issues with soundproofing. The amenities like nice linens and a great bathtub added to my comfort.

Service

The staff were friendly and pleasant, though at times they seemed a bit under-staffed. They did respond well to my concerns about room issues, showcasing an eagerness to help.

Location

10.0

The hotel's location is superb, just outside the bustling center of Taormina but still within easy walking distance of all attractions. It provided the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility.

Dining

9.0

While the in-house Michelin-star restaurant, St. George, offered an very nice tasting menu, I felt that it could benefit from an a la carte option for evening dining. The breakfast selection was great, especially dining on the rooftop.

Facilities

7.0

The stunning pool area was a highlight of my stay, providing amazing views. However, the pool needs some refurbishing, which detracted a bit from the overall experience.

My stay at The Ashbee Hotel was truly nice, thanks to its stunning views and really good service. The location is conveniently near the town center, yet it retains a peaceful charm. However, I was quite disappointed with the lack of basic amenities like a coffee maker in the room, which felt out of place for such a luxurious hotel.

Rooms

8.0

My room was in an annex and offered a nice view of the San Pancratius church. It felt comfortable and well-equipped overall, but I would have appreciated it more if there was a kettle for tea and coffee (I found the room service charge a bit excessive).

Service

10.0

The staff were really good—especially Roberta at reception who gave me a warm welcome and guided me through the hotel. Marco made breakfast a good experience, and everyone was genuinely helpful throughout my stay.

Location

9.0

The hotel's proximity to main attractions is fantastic, being just a few minutes' walk from the town center, while also offering beautiful views of the Mediterranean. It really does feel like a hidden gem tucked away from the busyness of Taormina.

Dining

8.0

Breakfast on the rooftop terrace was a highlight, with a great variety of dishes—particularly the fresh egg selections. However, I expected a few more choices in terms of fresh fruit and bread.

Facilities

7.0

The infinity pool area had amazing views and was beautifully maintained, but I found the lack of a full spa and gym facilities underwhelming for a hotel of this calibre.
