Very good

Pros: This is a little difficult. Loved the location.breakfast, room and staff but...

Cons: Ok... the weather was particularly hot in Sicily. When we booked, I obviously didn't read the small print, lesson learnt! The air conditioning is controlled at reception... We were told that when we checked in.. I made the assumption that because of the heat, they would air condition our room. No... We spent 3 nights barely being able to sleep because of the heat. What really topped it off... they ran the air conditioner in recrption at night. It didn't matter what time we returned from a night out, the reception area had the air conditioner running and very cool. If guests can't have cool rooms, it would make sense that no one should feel comfortable at night, including the one person city/ sleeping in the reception area. The only hotel in our 6 week stay North and South of Italy that we had this problem with.

Good for a short stay but not remote working.

Pros: Lovely staff, clean and comfortable. Locals all very welcoming. Nice little balcony.

Cons: I was working remotely but had problems with WiFi, terrible in the morning but much better in the afternoon. The hotel is opposite the beach which is fine but the road outside can be noisy.

More than adequate for visit to Taormina

Pros: Small view of sea, good breakfast and clean

Cons: Parking was a bit of a walk, view was minimal.

Great location, great staff, really good value for the amount paid.

Pros: The location is exceptional. The breakfast is great, although mainly sweet options which is probably an Italian tradition. Room was very clean, cleaning service came everyday and changed the towels. We could leave our luggage there after checkout, they even offered us a room where we can refresh ourselves before our flight home. Staff is super nice. We got a room with balcony to the garden, the balcony looks much better than in the photos, it was much bigger. We really did not regret, that we did not get the sea view room, this one was much quiter.

very pleased

Lovely stay in this hotel,

Cons: No faults

Exceptional

Pros: Excellent service and breakfast.

Overall not a great experience and wouldnt recommend.

Cons: In the hotel description it says they have hotel parking and there is even a garage with a sign that says hotel parking BUT then you cant park there since its apparently private. Instead you can park in a parking lot for 15/day. We booked mainly because it said it has parking so we were pretty upset. The aircondition is centralised and you have to tell the reception to change it for you which is a bit unpractical. It was VERY loud every morning since the main street is next to the hotel. Rooms are very old and honestly a bit ugly. Bathroom is tiny. Matress in very uncomfortable. There hotel has a very weird smell.

Amazing experience. We highly recommend

Pros: When you travel to Sicily you look forward to amazing architecture, history, culture, cuisine, beaches, nature, fashion, dolce vita. But at the end of the day, when you return to your accomodation tired , yet happy, it is important that you are being welcomed. We stayed in superior double room, which was nicely decorated with lot of love. Spacious double-room with big and comfy bed, lovely details, big terrace to enjoy your coffee or a glass of wine. San Giovanni hosts are amazing people, who take good care of their guests, a big THANK YOU to lovely ladies who took care that our room is always super clean and smell like strawberries , to amazing lady who served breakfast and made sure everything is fresh and tasty, to super helpful and communicative gentleman in the night reception who helped us with advices and made us feel safe and welcomed. Beach is just couple meters away, great restaurants in the vicinity, direct connection with Taormina and Catania Airport just steps away. We had a wonderful time and vacation in this hotel and we highly recommend it to all. Thank you making our stay amazing!

Cons: Internet signal was sometimes a bit weaker, but hosts are trying their best to improve it.
