My partner and I have just returned from a wonderful 10 day break in Taormina...our chosen residence was The President Hotel Splendid. I, in particular, had mixed expectations after reading some negative reviews - however any fears were promptly laid to rest - our room, although on the small side, was generally clean and cool (most important as the temperature... more

This Hotel is a good quality budget choice. I was expecting fawlty towers before i arrived from the reviews i read here. I was thankfully proved wrong. The rooms are basic and small enough but they are clean and if you travelled all the way to Sicily you should only be in it to sleep! My balcony had a fabulous... more

The hotel has a great location being only 5 mins away from the main street with the restaurants/bars that attract hoards of tourists all year long and the room we had was... more

Myself and my boyfriend loved our stay in Taormina. Hotel Splendid was a basic hotel but suited us fine. We had the quad room which is like a mini apartment across the road from the hotel. It had a double bed, ensuite, kitchenette, small balcona, amazing views out the window and a couch and coffee table. I'd book this room... more

We stayed at this hotel for a week from 20th September. I had seen the comments made by previous visitors before we went, and this made me a little concerned as to what we would find. In the end, I have to agree with the last reviewer, I think that some people's expectations did not match the fact that this... more
