صور Hotel Baia Azzurra

Hôtel situé juste à côté du funiculaire pour Taormina. Les chambres sont simples et légèrement datées mais parfaitement suffisantes pour une nuit. L’hôtel bénéfice d’une très belle vue sur la mer. Se garer gratuitement en voiture n’est pas évident en pleine saison (quartier avec beaucoup de passage).

위치도편리하고 숙소의 시설도 괜챦았으나 주차에 대한 배려가 부족합니다.

1/ changed room three times because of cockroaches / ants / no space. 2/ breakfast sparse greasy cold bacon multi coloured scramble eggs 3/ frozen coussants. 4/ one waitress under pressure and one pot washer washing everything in one sink. 5/ bath takes an hour to half fill / shower trickles. 6/ tacky rooms decorated to YMCA standards. 7 / fridge warm 8/ air conditioning not functioning. 9/ safety barriers to large windows dangerous old and rusty. 10/ the hotel staff are few there seems to be no manager. My advice is to spend a little more money and find a good hotel this one should be avoided.

Sempre dispiace fare una brutta recensione, ma a volte serve per aiutare a migliorare le cose. Spero sia uno stimolo per chi dirige l’Hotel. La camera standard ( l’agenzia mi ha detto che le superior erano terminate) alla reception mi è stata presentata come al 2.o piano, ma in realtà è come se fosse un piano terra, in quanto è posta a livello di un parcheggio, sul quale, con un passaggio interno proprio a piano 2, portano anche la biancheria sporca (si vede in foto); la finestra abbiamo sempre dovuto tenerla semi chiusa sia per il pericolo che entrassero da una scala sottostante sia per avere un minimo di privacy. Parlando di finestra...era ancora in ferro, anni 60, non chiudeva bene e si sentivano rumori dall'esterno: nelle foto allegate le immagini abbastanza esplicativa dello stato di manutenzione del serramento. La sera poi ci siamo accorti che anche la tapparella era difettosa e non oscurava la stanza. Per chiuderla 4/5 sali e scendi e non bastava. Appena entrati nella stanza abbiamo dovuto chiedere appendiabiti per pantaloni, completamente assenti, e una lampada per il comodino (ce n'era una sola), che ci hanno portato (ikea) già rotta alla base, come da foto, tra l'altro differente dall'altra. Col passare dei giorni poi ci siamo accorti di altre cosette: la luce nel disimpegno anti bagno era cadente (foto); cassetto e anta armadio (ikea) non potevano essere aperti contemporaneamente perché si incastravano; il lavello del bagno, minuscolo e vecchissimo, aveva la ceramica rovinata (foto); la parete davanti al lavabo era scrostata (foto); il box doccia, al limite dell'usabile per le dimensioni (50x50) (foto), aveva incrostazioni di calcare al limite della decenza (varie foto). Dulcis in fundo..oltre a sentire i rumori degli scarichi di tutti i confinanti, il bagno emanava odore di fogna (cosa letta in altra recensione) e per farlo diminuire dovevamo lasciare accesa la luce (h24) che azionava una ventola di aspirazione, essendo il bagno cieco. Il mercoledì ho detto in reception di lasciare la luce accesa nel bagno per questo motivo e mi hanno proposto di cambiare stanza. Abbiamo rifiutato di rifare le valigie e poi disfarle ancora essendo a metà della vacanza. E questo non vuol dire accettazione della situazione; vuol dire semplicemente che abbiamo toccato con mano la qualità dell'Hotel e non avevo motivo di pensare che cambiando camera cambiasse la qualità: quella stanza non avrebbero mai dovuto assegnarla; se hanno il coraggio di tenere una stanza in quello stato...vista una viste tutte. Se ci hanno dato una stanza pessima appena arrivati il nostro pensiero è stato: non c'erano alternative. E l'altro pensiero è stato: la camera standard di un 4 stelle ha queste caratteristiche "qualitative", in Sicilia ? Ma stanze come quella non dovrebbero esistere in un 4 stelle, e neanche in un 3, forse in un 2 stelle, ma non credo. Nella classificazione internazionale degli alberghi normalmente la differenza fra camera standard e superior sta nell

Sadly we were very disappointed with this hotel. We stayed in a standard room that was very small and desperately in need of refurbishment. Wallpaper peeling off the wall, rusty bin and mouldy sink in bathroom. Shutter blinds weren’t working on arrival but quickly fixed by maintenance. Similarly our sink tap wouldn’t drain and that was quickly fixed. Overall the room felt shabby and given we thought we had booked a 4 star hotel, this was not what we were expecting. There is no way this rating is correct, it is a very basic 3 star hotel. We also had the misfortune to be checked in by the most miserable and unhelpful male receptionist, whereby it was too much trouble for him to even provide basic information about the hotel, not a good ambassador for the hotel and not a good welcome. To be fair the other reception staff were much more helpful. Within the There are no covers on the quilts and zero sound proofing. Be prepared to hear your neighbours very clearly and also lots of outside noise from passing cars, trains, motorbikes and ambulances. The badly in need of replacing shabby veranda doors don’t really offer much of a barrier to the noise? You might as well be sleeping outside, Another caution is booking taxis via the hotel, we took one to the train station and he charged us 20 euros for just over a mile drive. When we returned later, a driver on the rank charged us 15 which is the standard price. Not sure why these inflated rates are being given to hotel guests. On a positive the hotel is well positioned for the local beach, but only a few rooms have these views, most are of the car park. Some nice restaurants and bars up the hill in Isola Bella but we spent most of our time up in Taormina town which was wonderful. We tried not to let the poor hotel spoil the holiday but if you are looking for a comfortable, good quality hotel, then please give this one a miss.

The expectations were set high, thanks to those positive reviews. But it appears the reviewers were residing in an alternate dimension because this place was nothing short of a disaster! It's not often when I feel a sense of relief when checking out... Let's talk about the air conditioning, or should I say, the lack thereof. It was a sizzling heat wave, and you would expect a 4-star hotel to provide some relief from the scorching temperatures. But no, that would be asking too much! The AC was as useful as a chocolate teapot, leaving you to roast in your own juices at 30 degrees. Not only that, it was also rattling like a broken washing machine. And good luck trying to address this issue with the reception, who seemed to be experts in the art of sarcasm and deflection. On multiple calls their excuse was that they don't speak English and hang up! Reception doesn't speak basic English in an international 4 star hotel?! Now to the building itself! A poorly maintained relic and showing all the signs of neglect. Crumbling plasterboard walls, questionable wiring, rubbed off paint... How they managed to muster up 4 stars is beyond comprehension. Perhaps by exploiting the gorgeous Italian nature? I dare say it's a 2-star motel at best. And don't even get me started on the so-called "facilities." No pool, no spa, no private beach, no entertainment, not even a working AC. Everything else that is there needs extra payment, like their parking (10€/day), which requires a masterclass in off-road driving to get there. Oh, the regular noise of passing trains is free! As for the pricing, well, it’s a scam! A little booking mistake led to a jaw-dropping 70€ surcharge per night to change occupancy from single to double in a double room (without breakfast). How can this be justified when the same room on Agoda (same date, 2ppl) was 100€? And don't bother mentioning their so-called "price guarantee" on the hotel's web site – they probably laugh at that behind closed doors while ripping you off. And what about breakfast? If not included, that'll set you back a cool 25€. They must think their continental breakfast is fit for kings, but in reality, it's pretty pitiful. Rotten fruit, anyone? Yum!(see photos) I have also seen a small handful of people dining at the hotel (apparently they have a package with dinner) but diners looked tired and unexcited. Lets hope it's the heat. Sure, the location might be somewhat decent, but that's if you're content with sitting on the beach all day, shelling out a small fortune for sunbeds in a local Lido (35€ pp). Otherwise, you'll find yourself isolated with no decent food options or sightseeing opportunities (Bella island is one exception). If you crave a glimpse of Taormina's posh side, be prepared for a 30-minute queue for the cable car for 6€ return. I suggest you consider booking something up the hill. In summary, if you want to live in an overpriced and underwhelming hotel with suffocating rooms - stay in Baia Azzurra. PS.

On arrival we were shown to our allotted room. I was crestfallen. The room was dark and looked straight at a brick wall and was near the lift. I could not have stayed there for 7 nights! I asked at reception if they had another room. She gave me the key to another room with a balcony and sea view. Perfect. Thank you.

Bon emplacement en seconde ligne par rapport au front de mer. On s’y sent libre. Confort satisfaisant, personnel charmant Possibilité parking 10 euros/jour Plage de Mazarro occupée a 70% par des transats à louer; un seul petit coin pour poser sa serviette en toute tranquillité vers les bateaux proposant des excursions. Les enfants se régaleront de sauter des rochers
