Hotel Ipanema

Overall would definitely recommend staying in this hotel. We only had 1 night here so didn’t need much, but we were very happy. The rooms a little outdated but definitely added character to the place, staff were so lovely and helpful, beautiful views and walking distance from everything you can need!! :)

Well located between 5-10 mins walk from the famous isola Bella. Great restaurants nearby. They offer a private beach deal with shuttle service very nice. WiFi is okay not the greatest and same with room, maybe a bit overpriced. I only had breakfast included it was mostly bread and cereals, not too many options.

Best place with amazing, frendly staff and superb views!! The location is also perfect since there are all the needed services near: restaurants, atm, mini markets. It's very easy to take the cable car to Taormina that's 5min walk away. We would spend days on the beautiful beach Isola Bella and go to dinner to Taormina. It was the most perfect holiday.
I can't praise the customer service enough here, always friendly and helpful and very professional. Loved everyone working here and they made a big positive impact on our holiday.
Rooms are a bit old but very clean and the views from the balcony are insane to the Taormina Mare. Love to just sit on our balcony and enjoy them in the evenings. Really worth it to stay here!

If you are looking for a bright sparkly modern hotel this is not place for you.
I had looked at this place when planning my trip to sicily and it ticked numerous boxes. % mins from the beach and the cable car and parking.
It is a clean olde worlde place and like going back in time.
The rooms are basic but functional we were on the 4th floor and had a small bathroom bed and small balcony with table and chairs which gets the sun quite a lot of the day.
In our room was a large wardrobe with a safe and fridge you can use for your own water wine etc.and TV (not an issue for us if wasn't there).
The beds was comfy and clean, the bathroom small but functional we had a shower which being well built could have done with being a little bigger.
The rooms were cleaned every day and bedding was changed twice in our 10 days, towels when needed.
On the roof is a terrace area with sun beds and a small swimming pool.
Down stairs is a large reception and bar area with outdoor seating and the dining room the predominant color being yellow,
All the staff are older end and the service is excellent almost military precision at breakfast they move around like choreographed dancers making sure food is stocked replenished/ tables cleared and reset so people dont have to wait.
We ate one dinner and the same applies but its like good old fashioned silver service and the food is very tasty but the menu interpretation made us laugh,
The receptionists always smiling and helpful if you need to know anything ask.
Finally the star the Barman he has the look of a Sicilian Mafioso but what a great guy makes everyone welcome and chats with people and if your unlucky you may get one of his many renditions from the various 60/70's song that get played.
If theres anything to say they are only minor and not really an issue and did not detract from our visit
Wifi is limited to downstairs however most times i could get a signal in my room but this day and age most people probably rely on Wifi more than TV.
The water pressure was hit and miss ran slow and fast making showering eventful sometimes
Bin the canned peaches and pears (that what really takes you back to the 70/80's) at breakfast and use some of you beautiful fresh fruit.
We was well looked after and enjoyed our stay.

Very clean, friendly staff, great food...when I go back I will stay at The Hotel Ipanema again..

A good hotel with comfortable beds and quite tasty food. Very nice roof top pool.

I write this review from my hotel balcony on the last afternoon of my stay. This is a most friendly hotel, in an ideal location. It is the staff that make this hotel such a pleasure to stay. The food is very good indeed and the portions are very generous. This is not a place to lose weight! The rooms are of a good size and the beds are comfortable. The whole hotel is kept spotlessly clean. Only 1 minute from the beach and 2 minutes from the funicular that takes you to the main town centre. So ideally placed to get to all the attractions of the area. Recommended.

Wonderful family run hotel who can't do enough for you. To get to the town is easy and walk down to the cable car takes just over 5 mins take the cable car up and your there.
Food is lovely and waiters are helpful. Self services for breakfast then waiter service with a choice for evening meal.
Room was lovely with balcony over looking the sea.
You won't be disappointed with this hotel thank you x

Cosy old fashined hotel with friendly staff, located in loveley area.
