The hotel is a cute, charming boutique hotel. We stayed in the Garden suite and Bellevue suite and both suites were very spacious. The rooms were updated so they felt more like the rooms in an American name brand hotel. The service we received from the front desk depended on who worked the front desk. We really appreciated the service provided by Vincenzo. He was a joy to talk to and was extremely helpful.

The beaches in Taoramina are all rocky so be sure to have some water shoes if you want to go into the water. The hotel has beach access but not its own beach. You can rent a beach chair with umbrella and towel for 20 Euros per person; they only accept cash no card.

The only drawback is that the hotel is located at the bottom of the cliff while the town center is at the top of a hill. The only way to get to town center is by walking along a windy two lane road with barely any shoulder to the Funicular (cable car). It seems weird to be walking on this road until you realize that everyone does it. While cars and motorcycles will drive around you, you have to pay attention and be aware of traffic.

Overall this is a cute hotel with spacious rooms and a great view and nice access to the beach. It is also far enough away from busier touristy areas but still within walking distance to restaurants and the cable car. However if you are worried about walking along the windy roads, better to stay up in the town center.

Great place, beautiful views. I stayed in one of the suites and it was beautiful. The down side is in order to use the hotel umbrellas and chairs to beach there is a charge of 20 euros per person. For a family of 3 it will be too expensive. We walk down to the free beach access l.

The hotel has beautiful views and is convenient to access nearby restaurants and the funicular up into the main part of Taormina. The room was small but clean. It worked well for us as we were in Taormina to explore the town and surrounding areas and not spend time at the hotel or in the room - so it was good to have clean and quiet place to return to each evening. The breakfast spread was super good - great food and coffee and spectacular view from the roof.

I booked their Suite. Shower floor was dirty and shower pressure was almost non existent on the hot side. Safe did not work even after they re-set it. I requested they repair the shower twice, but they did not. No beach. Dangerous walk to center area and Parking lot, as there are no sidewalks. They require an additional fee to park which is ridicules considering the only parking lot available is more than a 1/2 Km away. They run out of food for breakfast and only replace the trays after you complain. Avoid this hotel !!!!

Unforgettable stay

We had one of the best stays ever at this hotel. It was an amazing experience from the arrival, where we were greeted by the lovely Luana, she checked us in and briefly explained everything. We arrived earlier and were allowed to leave the lugguages in reception and make the most of the day at the lido just a 100 yards walk from reception. The gardens were beautiful and the private access to the beach was amazing. Lunch choices at the lido and the quality of the food was top notch. We had a sea view room that was very well furnished, with an extremely comfy bed and a modern shower. The hotel is literally 3 minutes walk from one of the main car parks where you can either get a bus to go to Taormina Centro or take the cable
Car. 5 minutes walk further you can find Isola Bella, which is again breathtaking. The hotel itself is above a beautiful and quiet bay, where you can watch the sun rising , and the sea is crystal clear. The breakfast was of great quality too and with the opportunity to start the day on a terrace with breathtaking views. Support was also at the ready to arrange some excursions or provide great advise on local restaurants. 5 stars all around, from a Sicilian - Polish couple

I wasn’t really disappointed, but the description and photos for this place were misleading, and it was not what I expected. There is no direct beach access. The walls and ceilings are very thin, so you could hear everyone coming and going, chairs scraping, doors squeaking, etc. Also, there is no restaurant on site, no room service, and no laundry facilities. The train passes by several times a day and it is loud.
However, the staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful, and it was easy to get transported to where we wanted to go. Short walk to eateries and the Taormina cable car. The room was very clean and comfortable. And the garden is pretty.

During our 3 week trip, we stayed at multiple locations, while our best sleeps were at this hotel. Breakfast had great assortment, very fresh and delicious. Rooms super clean, modern and bathroom was the same. Paid parking onsite with free option on road. Youll want to drive to restaurants since the road is narrow and hilly making it a bit dangerous to walk from the hotel. Highly recommend.

Best stay on our Italy trip

Our stay here was amazing! I wish we could give it 10 out of 5 stars. We landed in Palermo and did not like the hotel we originally booked. We were able to book at hotel baia delle sirene last minute. From the very beginning the front desk, Giusy, was very helpful! We were scheduled to arrive at 2am but the front desk closed around 10pm. Giusy assured us that it wouldn’t be an issue and after making the very long trip we arrived and the room was ready for us! Spacious shower and bathroom and comfy beds! In the morning we proceeded to “check in” and Giusy helped us once again. She mentioned several nice places and beaches to visit which we did and had a great time. After staying two nights we were on the move again and headed to a beach not far from the hotel before checking into our next one. They called us shortly after checking out to notify us that we left a necklace behind and offered to ship it to us. Since we were in the area we decided to go back for it immediately since it was a special personal item and fairly expensive. We are extremely satisfied with our experience and would definitely recommend staying here. If we ever decide to visit Sicily in the future we know where to stay for a fun and relaxing, safe experience. Thanks again Giusy!!!

Terrible Customer Service, Avoid!

The service at this hotel was frankly awful. I contacted them prior to my stay to enquire about parking at the property, to which they replied that there was no parking, and we would need to park at one of the 2 car parks in town. Both car parks were a 45 minute walk away, down 300 steps. Once we arrived at the hotel, there was a car park outside. They had the audacity to ask if we would like to park there for €15. We were absolutely furious. Really poor service. They also neglected to inform us the cable car was out of action, so walking was our only option. The hotel was reasonably clean I guess, but very dated, and the air con doesn't work.

Did the job

We needed a hotel to stay in as a pit stop for our Etna excursion and this very much did the job. Not somewhere I would stay for a relaxing holiday though. The staff were very helpful and arranged a taxi for us. There is a cable car that runs into Taormina centre which is a ten minute walk from the hotel, which is really helpful. The entry to the sea was a bit gross, the jetty is covered with seaweed and the beach was rocks not sand. Don't bother with the sea view, it's mostly just palm trees and also backs onto a busy railway with very loud trains.

Wow! Exceptional! This is the place to beat!

We loved our stay and would love to stay again one day. The location is excellent and only a short stroll to the beach where there are umbrellas and deck chairs exclusively reserved for hotel guests. The breakfast is also excellent with a variety of food and coffee on offer. There is a restaurant that is definitely worth a try not only for the amazing views, but more so because of the dedicated staff and exceptional chef who is a local and takes pride in his meals. The front desk ladies are super helpful, always willing to go out of their way to suggest tours, sights and activities. While not a four star hotel, I would not look past staying here again; it's a place that will etch into your memory from the moment you set your luggage onto the reception floor.

Breakfast was plentiful and there was a good selection to choose from.
The beach was just a step away.
Only one negative is the walk to the nearest shops/restaurant was along a quite busy road (with no pavements)
Good location for Taormina town and Greek Theatre.

Fine for a one night stay

This hotel has pros and cons. Pros: fantastic views from rooftop breakfast area. Breakfast was good - with a large variety of food. Cons: our room had a view of binbags and meter cupboard. We had to ask for a key for the safe. Taxi needed for getting to and from station - 15 euros each way. Cable car or taxi needed to get into Taormina - 9 euros for cable car, 15 for taxi. Hotel restaurant was closed the night we were there. We asked for a recommendation for somewhere to eat and when we went to restaurant it too was closed. Photos we had seen showing sunloungers on artificial grass by sea were old - no sign of either although other hotel on same stretch of sand nearby had loungers out on the beach.

Hotel Baia Delle Sirene is small, intimate, and full of character. All the staff - reception, bar, restaurant, cleaning - were friendly and pleasant at all times. Nothing was too much trouble. Reception staff were informative and arranged trips and transport for us. We really felt that it was important to them that we were comfortable and had a good stay.
The hotel's location is great, next to the sea, with easy, private access to a small platform with sun loungers, the beach and sea. There are plenty of bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. It is a short walk to the cablecar which takes you up to Taormina town centre.
Breakfast on the terrace, with its stunning views, was the perfect way to start the day.

Pleasant hotel near to Taormina

The hotel is set in pleasant grounds and the lido is only a short walk from the gardens. Although there is access to the sea from the decking, it isn't easy to get in or out due to the rocky nature of the coast. There is a small railway between the hotel and coast but the lido is accessed via a footpath that passes under the line. The trains are quite infrequent and do not detract from either the lido or gardens.

Although the lido is very basic it is more than good enough for sunbathing. If something a bit better serviced is required, just 100m up the coast is one of the best beach bars I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. La Caravella is an absolute must visit even if you're staying in Taormina proper.

The rooms were always clean and fresh, although the air conditioning was a little on the feeble side. As we were holidaying in June, this wasn't a problem.

The bar and restaurant were perfectly acceptable, but with Taormina on your doorstep, you would probably want to eat and drink out. Again breakfast was acceptable with a reasonable selection but the hot food options was limited to just boiled eggs too often.

A 600m stroll takes you to the bottom of the cable car up to Taormina, which costs 3 Euros per person each way. A taxi, which comes into the hotel grounds costs 15 Euros one way. Taormina is very vibrant, and heavily tourist oriented. There are dozens of quaint and good value restuarants to be found

Charming spot on the sea

Good location on the sea. The \"private beach\" is a quick walk away but is just a deck with connection to the actual [stone] beach. Nothing wrong with it though unless you are expecting something else. Also a quick walk to the funicular to reach the Historic District of Taormina up on the hill. Building is a bit aging but well maintained. We had a nice lady at reception but a grumpy lady trying to shoo us out of the room on checkout day. The reception was not helpful with tourism info.

A gem

some reservations initially re reviewers comments about the train line runnining thro' the garden.

Although there is...less noticeable than road traffic at home. My main point about the train was that it added to the quirkiness. This was the sort of hotel where you wouldn't be surprised to find Maggie Smith or Miriam Margolies on reception. So pleasing we cancelled another part of our trip to stay an extra two nights.
Access to a private Lido was sooo easy. Water was great.

My only reservation was that in commo9n with most of Taormina it was a little expensive.

Quiet, beautiful and out of the fray

A converted villa, this 24-room hotel surpassed our expectations of a quiet getaway in the middle of a busy tourist season. Our rooms were very clean and pleasant. Some may find them small but we did not spend much time in the room and loved the view of the ocean through the tropical garden. Best of all was the proximity to the water. Through the garden, down a few steps and we were sitting on a beautiful rocky Sicilian beach less than 50 yards from the hotel. We also loved the fact that we could get to the middle of action in Taormina by walking 10 minutes to the cable car and enjoy gorgeous views traveling up and down the mountain, then return to utter quiet when we had had enough. The staff were so kind and accommodating from arranging excursions, packing a breakfast for our early departure and even providing first aid for a twisted knee. They were great. The restaurant on the top floor overlooked the ocean and served a continental breakfast that more than met our needs. Guests also have the options for lunch and dinner, which were deliciously prepared with fresh local ingredients. One minor drawback with any beach hotel here is the train, but they are generally short quiet commuter trains with only 4-5 cars or freight trains with less than 15 cars. This was not a big deal to us but worth mentioning for those who may mind. We stayed for over a week and still did not see all that we wanted to in the area. We would certainly book this hotel again on a return trip to Sicily.

Hotel Baia delle Sirene-romantic villa by the sea

We stayed in the hotel Baia delle Sirene in April 2011 for 7 nights. It's a classical Italian villa in a very well maintained garden with its own path to the sea.The staff is very friendly, speaking perfect English. Dinners are well cooked, abundance of fresh fish and vegetables, reasonably priced for the area. The staff in the restaurant very pleasant and polite.
The proximity of the railroad didn't spoil the stay as the sea was much noisier. The one defect is the way to the cable car via the road with no pavement. Overall impression is very good, although I would recommend staying in Sicily from mid May onwards as the weather in April was unstable.

Hotel Baia Delle Sirene

Amazing location, right by the water & a 10 minute walk down the street from shops, restaurants, grocery market. The hotel is located down from a windy street with fast-moving cars, but so is every hotel. A train also runs through the edge of the hotel property, but this is the case for all the waterfront hotels. Great continental breakfast on the terrace & an incredible solarium with a ramp down to the crystal clear water. The main village is located at the top of the mountain, so you can either walk or take the air tram/gondola for a small fee. The hotel rooms are a bit outdated, but that didn't bother us much. Lots of daily excursions to take- to different cities or even water fun (jet ski's, boating) that the hotel manager will easily arrange for you. Loved this place & would recommend it to anyone- we wish we could have stayed longer!

Great hotel

My sister and I stayed at the hotel on our last 3 days of our vacation. The hotel staff went above and beyond the call of duty.
Only one thing that needs to be taken into consideration is the street that the hotel is on. We walked from the cable lift from the top of Taormina to the hotel. The hotel is within walking distance. However, the road that it's on could be a little difficult to navigate with luggage due to speeding cars and no sidewalk at certain points of the road. So, be cautious.
The hotel is worth the walk, however.

not so bad

good price (in comparison with other hotels in Taormina), easy to find, not far to cable car to Taormina (but you must go on the busy road), large room with seaview (but hotel don't have access to the sea because of railway - shuttle quite often), cute garden, nice breakfast area on the hotel's roof, parking for all guests (a little bit cramped but functional)

Not the best location if you want to enjoy the beach....

Although the hotel is by the shore, it does not have an accessible beach from its premises as it may be expected from the description; it only has a solarium built on top of the rocks of the shore. The location is not bad from the point of view of walking distance to the cable car that takes you to the historic center but it is very dangerous to walk the distance as there are no sidewalks and traffic is fast. Therefore, if your interest is in exploring the historic center, this is not the best location. Also, a railroad track runs along the shore and by the property. It is not extremely noisy but trains run frequently from early morning to late night.
No English speaking channels on the TV.

Great Service - Beautiful Hotel - Shame about the trains

Stayed at the hotel in May.

The first thing that strikes you is the beautiful hotel and gardens. This hotel is well maintained , exceptionally clean. Eating breakfast out on the sun terrace is a joy.

Free car parking facilities, but imagine it's a bit of a squash in summer.

Service - the staff here were EXCEPTIONAL. They couldn't have done more to make our stay more pleasant. Always a smile, always happy to offer advice and make you feel valued. We checked out at 5am on the final day and they made sure that we have a very well stocked packed lunch each.

Rooms are fairly basic, but very comfortable and clear. We had a nice balcony and seaview. Bathroom was OK, but no bath unfortunately (think this is a bit of an italian thing).

OK, so what lets this htel down - one thing - the trains. Literally, the trains pass 15 away from the hotel. Through the day it's fine to live with, at 5am in the morning it is not. After our first early wake up we were very tired. No double glazing, but even if there was the freight train would still wake you up. On the Friday morning there were trains probably as frequently as every 15 mins. Saturday seemed much better though. I think your body adjusts.

So, earplugs - don't forget them. But yes, on balance I would stay here again despite the trains.

As for Taormina, it's sophisticated and one of the nicest places I've ever visited. Not hugely expensive, very scenic and a trip up Mt Etna is a must.

The location is superb. About 900 m from the “Funivia” that takes you to Taormina on the top of the hill and a small tunnel under the railway that takes you to the sea. The beach itself is not one that you would like to go, but there are a small facility (“Lido”) that you can get umbrelas, chairs for a small beach on the premises. That facility was under renovation during my stay, so I was not able to use it. The hotel is simple but functional. There is no lift, so you have to carry your bags through stairs, not big ones, but could be cumbersome. To get to the “Funivia “ you can walk on the road, competing with the cars, something that is safe, or you can go by car and park on the parking lot by the station, if you are lucky enough to find a space. Or you can get there by taxi or uber. The staff is very helpful and friendly, they will certainly help you. My room was in the second floor with a beautiful sea view. I had a very pleasant stay, but two things bothered me: there are several trains that passes overnight on the rails adjacent to the property, making a lot of noise. The other thing is that there’s no good acoustic isolation between the rooms, and if you got a noisy neighbor it can be a problem.

Carmen , la gérante , est particulièrement douée pour le contact humain ( ... il vaut mieux l'être pour exercer une telle fonction ) .

L'hôtel est très bien situé , dans un cadre de verdure et de fleurs ; il est à 5 mn , à pieds d'un arrêt de bus , et de la gare du téléphérique , qui permet l'accès à la ville haute ( = vieille ville très animée )
le parking est très grand .

Il y a même un accès direct à la mer .... mais sans plage .
Donc , bilan positif .

Vi uppskattade mycket med detta boende. Trevlig personal, god frukost, fantastisk läge med utsikt över havet och bergen. Promenadvänligt avstånd också till stränder och linbanan.
Det som var minus var att tåget gick precis utanför så det lät en hel del ifrån det, och det gick rätt ofta. Lyhört boende.
En annan sak som vi blev lite besvikna på var att det stod att boendet skulle ha en privat strand, men det stämde inte riktigt. Den stranden var under rekonstruktion, bara massa stora stenbumlingar.. inte något ställe att bada på.

First they tried to give as a massive “ downgrade” ( room without real window ) - after showing the booking this was fixed, but without any apologies. On the other hand staff was very enthusiastic and helpful regarding the surrounding/ restaurants and tours.

Le personnel très sympathique et à l’écoute. malheureusement il y a un énorme problème d’humidité dans les chambres. Nous avons changé trois fois car l’air y était irrespirable. Le petit déjeuner est très complet, bonne literie. Très belle vue de l’hôtel sur la mer et un accès direct à la plage. Gros bémol : l’hôtel est à 20m de la voie ferrée donc beaucoup de bruit aux passages des trains. Par contre, je ne recommanderai pas l’hôtel aux couple avec enfants car pour aller en ville c est très dangereux il n’y a pas de trottoir et il faut longer véritablement la voie nationale à pied avec les voitures et camions qui vous frôlent. Merci toutefois encore à la réceptionniste qui a fait de son mieux pour nous changer de chambre à chaque fois

A very warm welcome when we checked in.
Very useful explanations.
Good recommendations for attractions and restaurants.
The beach is quite rocky and difficult to swing in front, even with water shows.
We went to neighbor beach for easier access.
Breakfast good too.
Overall very a very good hotel

En snabbvisit i Taormina

Trevligt ställe inklämt mellan tåg och väg med vidunderlig utsikt. Lite svårt att gå till stan då trafiken är nära och tät, ingen trottoar. Ca 400m till linbanan som ju fungerar bra upp till stan. Mysiga restauranger runtomkring. Väldigt varm och familjär personal.

Think carefully before you book!

Formerly a very nice hotel but has gotten quite rundown and need a renovation.
IMPORTANT INFO: the hotel is just by the railway tracks and the insolation is not enough to keep the noice out. The trains run from 6.00-23.00. The drains were completely clogged upon check-in.
To get to Taormina-tram you need to walk up a road which was not made for pedestrians.

The staff at the hotel are nice and the view was incredible but sadly the shortcomings don’t make up for it.

Flott hotell.

Fabiana i resposjon som tok emot oss ved incheck var fantastisk. Veldig imøtekommende og blid. Hun gav oss masse gode tips å råd under oppholdet. Generellt så var alle som arbeidet på hotellet kjempe flinke og hyggelige. Hotellet anbefalles på det sterkeste, på grunn av beliggenhet, renslighet. Fine rom og staff som jobber på hotellet. Nære til strand og fantastik utsikt fra rommet. Frukosten kunde vært litt mer utvalg men alt i alt så hadde vi et fantastisk opphold.

Die Baia delle Sirene liegt etwas des großen Trubels von Mazzaro, direkt zwischen der Hauptstraße und der Bahnstrecke.
Gebucht war ein Deluxe-Doppel oder Zweibettzimmer mit Meerblick. Was jetzt der Luxus war, wissen wir nicht genau. Das Zimmer war weder besonders groß, auch das Bad war sehr klein. Noch dazu war die Ausstattung insgesamt alt bei dem Zimmer im EG, das wir hatten. Meerblick war etwas viel versprochen, der Balkon war zwar in Richtung Meer, im EH war davon aufgrund der Pflanzen und Bäume aber nichts zu sehen. Oft angespannt war auch die Parkplatzsituation, so dass man besser mit einem kleinen Auto anreist. Das Frühstück auf der Dachterrasse ist wunderbar. Das Personal nicht unfreundlich, könnte aber aufmerksamer sein und einige sprachen auch kein Englisch.
Die Bahnstrecke vorm Fenster war überraschenderweise nicht wirklich störend in der Nacht.
Der Strand des Hotels ist besser als keiner, aber wirklich schön sind die 5-7 Liegen auf Beton mit Zugang ins Wasser über eine provisorisch wirkende Rampe aus Gerüstteilen nicht.
Insgesamt aber ein hübsches Hotel mit Potential für mehr, wir hätten auch mehr erwartet. Vermutlich sind die renovierten Zimmer besser, hätte ich bei einem Deluxe-Zimmer eigentlich erwartet.
