dated but good
People have said this hotel is dated and yes it certainly is, there is no doubt of its 1970's credentials, from the flowery tiles in the bathroom too the bright yellow loo seat and matching loo brush. But...... they are just tiles, the price I paid represented good value for money in this location and if you can look past the 1970's veneer then you have a good hotel. So, I asked for a top floor, having read people complain about the road noise, I had no problem with noise and am a light sleeper. If you don't know the city its built on the side of a hill, so when you read reviews of people saying "car are revving up the hill outside"..... good luck finding a hotel not on a hill with a road outside! The balcony has the most fantastic view over the city and looks right out to Mount Etna, what more could you want. Other reviews talk about there being no shower curtain, it's true and I don't know why there is not one, it makes showering difficult and hard not to make the floor wet. On my trip I was not charged for parking at the hotel, but it was quiet, an oversight, not sure. The parking is limited and we did not use the car for our stay so it was not an issue but I would think there would be a lot of shunting of cars if you did need to get out and you have to leave your keys at reception so they can shunt them around. Honestly, look past the decor and you have a good hotel.

wonderful coffee at breakfast!
the walk down to the shops and restaurant is ok - the walk back up fine on an evening when its cool! - cost of a taxi 10-12 euros! .the hotel pool was kept nice and clean but colddddd! Air con was switched on sometime in the afternoon, which was nice to walk into the bedrooms, but it was switched off in the early hours. could do with better bathrooms! even our toilet roll got wet through when taking a shower! but overall,very pleasant and helpful staff from the reception to the maids.

Villa Kristina, Taormina, Sicilly.
This hotel had a nice tranquil pool area with poolside showers and toilets and plenty of sunbeds available. There is no children's pool and the water, even in the shallow end is quite deep thus making the hotel a haven for adults who want a quiet life. The breakfast offered a good variety of fruit, cereals, rolls, cooked meat and cheese For car-hirers the garage was a plus as parking is at a premium on the narrow winding roads. The hotel charges six euros per day. The hotel was in a good position between the lovely but expensive tourist mecca of Taormina with it's gorgeous shops, cafes, ancient Greek Theatre and shady public gardens and the traditional mountaintop village of Castelmola with it's pretty square and marvellous views. On the slightly negative side the decor in the room was a little dated particularly the bathroom where the shower was especially gloomy. The poolside bar area was also not open for snacks etc which was an opportunity missed as guests were going to the local shop for sandwiches to eat by the pool (we were staying there in June and maybe it would be open in the high season of July/August). I would not recommend this hotel to anyone with mobility difficulties due to the steepness of it's location. In summary this was a clean, comfortable value for money hotel with breathtaking views of Mount Etna, the coast, and the surrounding bougainvillea draped villages and deserving of it's three star rating.

Good location - BAD customer service!
Staff very friendly on arrival. Room had leaking shower hose which sprayed everywhere, soaking toilet rolls/towels. Worse was leaking aircon unit that dripped water all night so trip to bathroom meant either slip or freezing drip on head. Hotel promised to fix next day, said it had been done but it wasn't. Didn't move our room until our last night there. Staff dismissive of problem, lied daily it had been fixed & were even sarcastic to us. Aircon was very poor & only on between 3pm -3am! Couldn't take towel from room down to pool so had to rent one in lobby. Had to rent the fridge. The town is lovely so visit it but avoid this hotel. The attitude of the staff made us so angry & frustrated it ruined the first few days of our holiday.

Good value for money and great views but very noisy
Hotel Kristina offers good value for money. Its situated just a few minutes (steep) walk from Porto Catania. The staff were really helpful and friendly. The hotel pool was lovely after a days sightseeing. And there were great views of the bay of Naxos and Mt Etna from the balcony. The room was small but OK. The bathroom was dated and poorly laid out but adequate. However the noise of the dustcarts and scooters at 6am meant that we came home more tired than before the holiday!

Very Happy With Hotel
6 of us stayed for one week in September and all were very happy with our stay there. It is a very basic hotel but is was clean and the rooms had everything we needed. The breakfast was sufficient and kept us going till lunch. The views from our balcony were lovely. There is a nice size pool and lots of space around it to chill out. The only down fall is there are 52 steps and some hills to get from the hotel to the main street but it only takes 10 mins. Would stay there again.

Hotel Villa Kristina 10 day stay.
I recently stayed in this Hotel for 10 days. I thought it was great value for money. The rooms were of a reasonable size. The room & bedding where cleaned every day. Breakfast was very nice. It is a 15 to 20 minute walk to the centre of Taormina. Which is not to bad going to the town but getting back could be a struggle.

Nice but....
Good and clean but a fair walk up hill from the main drag (Corso Umberto). The rooms were clean & staff friendly. However, we had a real issue with the Air Con. It failed to work for 3 days and the consierge really wasn't that bothered. He did get it fixed, but the next day, so we spent 2 nights boiling hot with a constant dripping noise! Not wheelchair friendly at all, but great to have a pool and be away from the noise of the main town. It also had beautiful views of Etna and the harbour. Good value for money.

Better than expected
The four of us were very satisfied with the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the cleanliness was excellent. Very good breakfast, As we were in the early season we did not use the pool which looked very inviting. The bathrooms could do with some updating.

Lage und Aussicht spricht für das Hotel
Zimmer ab der 2. Etage habe eine schöne Aussicht auf den Ätna und auf die Bucht von Giardini Naxos. Die Lage des Hotels ist relativ zentral an der Hauptstraße nach Castelmola. Zu Fuß bergab, teilweise über Stufen, ist man in ca. 15 Minuten im Zentrum von Taormina. Eine kleine, sehr enge Tiefgarage ist vorhanden. Die Zimmer waren ordentlich, jedoch nicht perfekt sauber. Das enge Bad scheint noch aus den Anfängen des Tourismus übrig geblieben zu sein. Duschvorhang, Duschbrause, die sich nicht höhenverstellen läßt und Fliesen, mit Flecken und Schimmel anstatt Fugen... Hier ist eine Renovierung dringend notwendig. Das Frühstücksbüffet war ok, jedoch nicht überragend. Brot, Croissants mit und ohne Füllung, Zwieback, eine Sorte Wurst, Käse. Butter, Marmelade, Honig, Schokocreme in Portionen verpackt, Joghurt, Orangen, Dosenobst, Wasser, Saft, Milch und verschiedene Müslis. Das beste war der Cappucino. Schön ist die Poolanlage mit Blick auf den Ätna. Ausreichend Liegen und Sonnenschirme sind vorhanden, eine Bar mit Bedienung ebenfalls. Internetpoint mit PC (gebührenpflichtig) und WLan(kostenfrei) im öffentlichen Bereich des Hotels. Das Personal war freundlich und gab auf Nachfrage auch gerne Auskünfte und Tips über Ausflugsmöglichkeiten. Early Breakfast wegen des frühen Rückflugs war ebenfalls möglich. Alles in Allem kann das Hotel für seine zentrale Lage im Touristenzentrum Siziliens durchaus empfohlen werden.

El precio es demasiado elevado para el hotel. Esta situado algo lejos del centro, y aunque las distancias se hace caminando, el camino es cuesta arriba. El buffet del desayuno es algo "austero". Contratar el parking es obligatorio, ya que al encontrarse en la misma carretera no hay sitio para aparcar.

Hotel liegt direkt an einer Durchgangsstrassse. Verkehr bis nachts 2Uhr und ab 04,30 Morgens. Starke Geruchsbelästigung durch Autoabgase. Queren der Str. ist lebensgefährlich. Minimale Parkmöglichkeiten. Hotel ist alt, teilweise im Bau, ohne Komfort wie Restaurant o.ähnliches. Service Fremdwort. Pluspunkt ist der herrliche Blick auf den Aetna als auf den Hafen von Naxos.

Mi aspettavo qualcosa di meglio
Camera fin troppo piccola e male odorante appena entrato. Conteneva a mala pena un letto matrimoniale (lenzuola e cuscini male odoranti per 3 notti su 5), un solo mini comodino, un obsoleto e non molto pulito armadio, un tavolino con annessa sedia ed una orribile panchetta in ferro ai piedi del letto. Dotata di TV, aria condizionata, ma dalle ore 15,00 alle ore 04,00, e di un balconcino interno con una sedia ed un appoggia bevande. Non c'è il frigobar (in estate è un dramma!). Strada abbastanza rumorosa e vista la conformazione dell'hotel si udivano fin troppo i rumori provenienti dai due bagni attigui la camera. Bagno in discrete condizioni ma con doccino intasato di calcare. (Attenzione! Non appena si esauriscono le 2 mini-soponette presenti non attendetevi una nuova dotazione!). Hotel dotato di mini-piscina, ma con annessi colombi, e di garage a pagamento (a mio parere, visto l'impossibilità di parcheggio in zona, non proprio elegante ed azzeccato!). Prima colazione a buffet molto abbondante, se ci si presentava almeno un'ora prima la chiusura (07,30 - 09,30) altrimenti ci si poteva arragiare con quel poco che restava. Infine, riguardo la posizione dell'hotel, devo dire che si trova a poche centinaia di metri da Porta Catania ma bisogna sobbarcarsi un bel pò di scale e di stradine in salita.

sarebbe perfetto non fosse per i servizi igienici disastrosi
posizione perfetta,bella la piscina, bellissimo il panorama dalle camere tutte con terrazzino,ottima e abbondante la colazione comodo per la possibilità di parcheggiare nel garage privato dell'hotel (a Taormina ci sono enormi problemi di parcheggio)aspetto veramente negativo: i servizi igienici, maleodoranti,vecchi e rotti. Scarsa attenzione alla manutenzione della camera (es. serramento rotto, lampadina bruciata)sarebbe sufficiente abbellire i terrazzi dai quali si gode una vista meravigliosa con fiori per renderli più accoglienti. E' un ottimo 2 stelle, la classificazione 3 stelle è troppo esagerata

Laut und unflexibel
Taormina ist ein Traum, die Hügellage, der Ausblick, die Architektur, die Abwechslung. Das Hotel Villa Kristina ist aber nur bedingt für Leute empfehlenswert, die sich durch Lärm nicht stören lassen. Direkt an einer stark befahrenen Straße liegend rauschen dauernd Mopeds etc. vorbei. Auch der Service in der Vorsaison lässt zu wünschen über - ganz zu schweigen von Baustellen direkt neben dem Hotel, die auch laut sind. Taormina gerne wieder, aber NICHT in diesem Hotel ...

Niente di eccezionale
The hotel is OK, but just that. Rooms are confortable, although small. The bathrooms are small, the shower box is old and almost falling in pieces, and every shower transform your bathroom in a small swimming pool..... There also a strong smell in the bathroom. Despite "the bathroom" case, the hotel is well located, is clean and have a good breakfast. It has a VERY IMPORTANT item in Taormina: Garage. For what it offers, could be a little bit cheaper.
