Hotel was right off the main street so convenient but during dinner service it was very loud with musicians and chatter. Not a big issue as it usually quieted down by 11pm. The lift was broken and we were told at check-in it should be fixed that day. When we checked out 4 days later it was still not functioning and we had seen no one working on it for days. Hotel uses very strongly perfumed cleaners. We had to ask that they not clean our room as the smell was so overpowering it was making us sick. Breakfast was ok. Room is very basic with no storage, and very small, even by European standards.

Our stay at the Hotel II Piccolo Giardino was wonderful. It is conveniently located in the heart of Taormina. Breakfasts were delicious and we ate them every morning in their outside terrace area. Vincenzo was extremely helpful before and during our stay.

Our stay here was terrible. The room was not as advertised. The bathroom was dirty with mold inside the shower, the shower did not drain properly so ended up standing in our own waste water. Some of the staff were not very helpful with our concern and basically told us there was nothing they could do. The outdoor pool area was worn out with a broken ladder which is dangerous. The only shining light was Vincenzo at the front desk who was very helpful. I would not recommend staying here.

Plus points: Property is well located in the main town and all staff were friendly, helpful and amazing. Breakfast was ok but plenty of places to go out and get something nearby. Views from the hotel were great as well. Negative points: Pool area especially the decking area needed some repair and maintenance. Room was ok but shower had no pressure and kept running hot and cold while using it. Also shower could have done with a better clean. Lift was out of order for a couple of days. Other point to note: If you like a firm mattress you will sleep well in the beds.

We had a wonderful time at Il Piccolo Giardino - the hotel is in a great location with direct access to the pedestrian streets of beautiful Taormina. The cable car to Mazzaro is also only a 5 walk away. The hotel staff were so lovely and accomodating and provided us with information and recommendations. We enjoyed the simple buffet breakfasts. The rooftop pool is small but offers a nice view and a place to cool off the in the summer heat. If you have a car I would recommend using the valet service, which gave us a small discount on our parking but was also super convenient as the car was only ever a 10 minute wait and we didn’t need to walk/climb the stairs in the heat. We are returning to Taormina next year and would definitely consider staying here again.

Worst hotel I've ever stayed in after traveling to over 20 countries. Shameful service. I booked the balcony room on Expedia and the photos all showed the water from the room. This is the reason why I booked the hotel in the first place. When I arrived, I was given a key for the 1st floor and was very confused because the view could not be like what's shown in Expedia from ground level. I ended up being right and the view was of the inner courtyard. So I basically paid extra and wasted money for no reason. With that said, DO NOT SPEND EXTRA ON THE "balcony". On top of that, I left a "room in use" sign on my door and the maid still opened it while I was In the room. I went to reception and complained about this and was gaslighted and told that I had the sign on the "Enter" side, which is completely false, I would never do this. The person at reception was very rude about it and kept insisting that I was in the wrong. Next, I closed the sliding door to my bathroom one night and the door just locked by itself, so I had to call reception to unlock the door. Thank god I was not on the inside, otherwise, I would have been stuck in. Lastly, when I checked out and tried to pay the city tax, the woman at the front desk told me that I can only pay in cash and this was explained to me at check in and written on the reservation. IT WAS NOT EXPLAINED TO ME AT CHECK IN AND IT WAS NOT WRITTEN IN THE RESERVATION. So I had to go take out cash at an ATM for this.

Hotel Piccolo Giardini is a lovely small hotel up 3 flights of stairs from Corso Umberto I. We had a wheelchair user with us and were able to access via the rear entrance on Via Giovanni Bosco where there are 3 or 4 steps down but there is a stairlift and a lift to all floors in which a wheelchair will fit. Rooms are bright, clean and comfortable. Rooftop views wonderful. Pool small and very cool but welcome on a hot day. The piccolo giardini is a charming refuge. Staff are friendly but this is more of self service as no bar or restaurant open all day.
