Tired hotel and 3 star at best
Stayed for a week as a second trip at the same hotel. Room was tiny and dark with very little daylight being at the back and against a rock wall, nothing like the photos on the website. We booked a standard double room with Jet2 but it appears we were given a budget one as it was smaller than last time. Whole site is tired and needs refurbished as it's stuck in the 1980s. Breakfast was average and… Stayed for a week as a second trip at the same hotel.

Lovely hotel

A perfect, idyllic stay
A perfect, idyllic stay. Our favorite place in Sicily.The gardens are immaculate, the swimming pool is unique, and the sea view is amazing.The Hotel Ariston team made our stay truly memorable. The reception team is always there for you, despite the very busy period due to the Catania airport closure (caused by the Etna eruption). They are very helpful and friendly!Giuseppe is the perfect bartender… A perfect, idyllic stay.
