Very good

OSF Excellent. There being no service lift, there might be a place for set times for service use as lift unusable on several occasions. Not so minor when guest approaching 80!

Amazing and so welcoming

The view from my room was amazing, the lady at the reception was amazing and so welcoming, I had issue with my card ( Amex wasnt accepted) and she went beyond and above to fix the issue and overall made me feel so comfortable. I hope she seems this comment Also, the tall gentleman that works behind the bar was so nice and cheerful and even explained to me what few words meant in Italian

The room smelt. The pool was very salty and general facilities were average.

Charming, quiet hotel that gets you access to the hustle and bustle without living in it.

The location is at the very end of a small road. The hotel doesn't have a beach with sand, but does have access to the ocean over the volcanic rocks and the pool is lovely. The sandy beach (Naxos) is approximately a 10-15 min walk. In the off season, when we were there, the bus route starts a little farther away, but the staff told us during the tourist season the bus comes much more closely and will take you along the whole beach and up to Taormina. The hotel is full of neat antiques, but the bathrooms and doors/windows have clearly recently been redone, and are modern. The mattress was memory foam and firm, but comfortable. Like much of Europe, the king is two twins pushed together. The rooms are simple, but functional, very clean and comfortable. Super friendly staff. Bring sturdy beach shoes for walking on the rocks! They provided hours of child entertainment.

I think it's time for the hotel to consider updating their bedspreads. Currently, they are polyester quilted numbers harkening from a 1985 style book. They're clean and in good shape, just a little dated. A white cotton duvet cover with some colorful throw pillows might give them a needed update. I think in the high season with full occupancy finding enough parking might be a challenge. Was not an issue for us.
