This hotel is a joke. A very bad joke. If you want to waste your hard earned money and ruin your family vacation then this is the place to be, look no further. But if you want to have a nice place to stay and have a good vacation please stay away this rathole. This ”hotel” is something left behind by a long gone era maybe it was good during Mussolini and his era, but ín 2023 it is definitely an absurd very bad joke, a real rathole. The building itself is an old rundown place with very old, broken furniture, not functioning air condition and plumbing system. The air conditioner was at least 20 years old, making loud noise without any cooling effect. A real piece of junk. There was no adequate water pressure so showering was a challenge except you enjoy showering ín cold water only. But the hotel' s main ”attraction” was the restaurant. Now this is the most horrid place I have ever been. The food was terrible, impossible to eat, the portions were ridicoulosly small and the waiters were from a long gone Era As well. They were chatting all the time instead of working so we always had to wait forever to get our disgusting meal, which we couldn't eat anyway. We left the restaurant with an empty stomach on most days. All ín all Hotel San Pietro ín Letojanni should be closed forever ín the benefit of mankind. Please stay away if you want good for yourself and your family!
The location of the hotel is absolutely unbeatable, with the views over the bay just making it feel quite magical, especially for sunrise or sunset. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was useful that there was onsite parking, though there was an extra fee for this. The breakfast was outstanding, especially by Italian standards, but really a very good range of breakfast options and out on the balcony with a gorgeous view over the bay. On the down side, The bedroom was small and the bathroom was really tiny. One morning there was no water pressure at all in the shower, which was annoying, but this was resolved the following day. However the size of the bathroom was really not very good, we thought - it was quite difficult to take a shower comfortably in such a narrow cubicle. That said, I think we got the smallest room in the place, as we were only there for two nights, and other rooms seemed to be larger, so it is worth asking for a larger room! The restaurant at the hotel (for lunch and dinner) was ok, but nothing special in my opinion, food-wise. The breakfast was definitely the best in terms of food. However, overall, I would still definitely recommend this place, as it was so well located and the views just so beautiful, as well as the person on reception being very helpful. Also only a 5 minute walk to the cable car up to Taormina, which was a really fun experience in itself and afforded some amazing views on the way up!
No dia em que fiz a reserva, o único quarto disponível era o mais caro, pois tinha sacada. Para mim a sacada não era importante, mas como era a única possibilidade, acabei pagando. Ao chegar no hotel, fomos colocados num quarto sem sacada, ou seja, bem mais barato. Ao falar com a dona do hotel, ela disse que não tinha quarto com sacada disponível no momento. Como desde o início só paguei por esse quarto devido a ausência de um mais barato, não fiquei bravo com o ocorrido e simplesmente solicitei que ela me reembolsasse a diferença do valor entre o quarto com sacada (mais caro) e o minúsculo quarto em que realmente fiquei (mais barato). Ela disse que não me reembolsaria nada porque o quarto era muito barato e ela só recebia 66 euros por ele. Sim, essa foi a justificativa. Ela vendeu um quarto mais caro, me colocou num mais barato e simplesmente disse que não devolveria a diferença. Disse também que se eu quisesse o dinheiro de volta, deveria falar com o hoteis.com, por onde eu fiz a reserva. No momento já estou em contato com eles. O hotel é bem localizado e esse é o único ponto positivo. Não tem recepção 24 horas e, portanto, durante a noite a porta do hotel fica aberta. Qualquer um pode entrar sem problemas. Os móveis são muito velhos e o quarto é bem sujo. O box do quarto que ficamos era fechado apenas por uma cortina de plástico e a água não descia pelo ralo, alagando tudo. Não existe elevador e é preciso subir e descer com malas pesadas por uma escadinha muito íngreme e estreita. A sala do café da manhã também é suja. Tem uma máquina de café imunda. Eu sei disso porque tive que dar um jeito de fazer o meu próprio café. Ao chegar na sala pela manhã, não tinha ninguém lá por cerca de 10 minutos. Depois de já ter feito o café e visto toda a sujeira escondida é que um senhor apareceu dizendo que era ele quem fazia o café, mas que tinha saído pra trocar a camiseta. Resumindo: a experiência foi horrível. A dona é grosseira. Vendem um quarto caro e simplesmente te colocam no barato para conseguirem ganhar mais, o que é bastante desonesto. O lugar é sujo, apertado, velho, inseguro e sem estrutura. Minha recomendação é que você jamais escolha esse lugar para ficar. Vai estragar as suas férias. Eu jamais retornaria, nem de graça.
