Splendid Hotel Taormina - Handwritten Collection

Splendid Hotel Taormina - Handwritten Collection

8/10 Good
"It was a clean and nice hotel in an excellent location. It’s 5 min walk into town. Our biggest complaint was the breakfast. It was mostly sweets and the eggs were runny and didn’t look appetizing and it was the same exact breakfast every single day and it got boring specially when you’re staying there for 5 nights. The WiFi in our room was also bad but it was better in common areas. Lastly our room was with a balcony and every night around 3 am we would get up with a sound of loud delivery which would last a good 15 min. Other than these 3 issues it’s a nice and clean hotel with an excellent location."
