Albatros Beach Hotel

“What a great hotel and location...”

Sensational newish hotel, right opposite the beach. Clean, neat, tidy with exceedingly good and helpful management. Dining room was lovely - as were the meals, the bar is very attractive and set away from through pedestrian movements and a reading room off the bar is a great idea! The hotel even has its own beach umbrellas and sun-beds at the beach across the road for no charge if you're in house...!

“Clean and modern no frills hotel”

A clean and modern hotel, quite clinical in appearance, all white with very limited colour. I stayed as part of a group tour and was in room 302. Balcony was in the shade for most of the day but you did have a bit of a sea view if you stood in the corner. Tea and coffee provided in the room which w… Mais

A clean and modern hotel, quite clinical in appearance, all white with very limited colour. I stayed as part of a group tour and was in room 302. Balcony was in the shade for most of the day but you did have a bit of a sea view if you stood in the corner. Tea and coffee provided in the room which was great, not common in all European hotels. A short walk to the main square in Letojanni where you can take the bus into Taormina. Staff were lovely and very helpful and the breakfast was great with freshly squeezed orange juice and a wide selection. I especially liked the availabilty of different cheeses. The only downside was the evening meal which wasn't great but the drinks weren't too expensive. Excellent wifi.

“Excellent hotel ”

All you would want in a hotel: large room, good bedding, nice bathroom with excellent shower, good proper bed for our teenage daughter (not a sofa bed), tea/coffee facilities (rare in Italy), good balcony.

All you would want in a hotel: large room, good bedding, nice bathroom with excellent shower, good proper bed for our teenage daughter (not a sofa bed), tea/coffee facilities (rare in Italy), good balcony. We had a room at the back with a view to the back street, probably because we bought a package with EasyJet. The breakfast is excellent but the food at the restaurant for dinner can be a hit and miss. Sometimes there was an awfully strong sewage smell from the bathroom. I reckon this is due to the heavy rain. We found that closing the bathroom door is enough to keep the bad smell from the room.

“Enjoyable stay”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Albatros Beach, booked through Jet2. Our room, 322, was bright, spacious, clean & comfortable & had a front seat view as opposed to a side view.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Albatros Beach, booked through Jet2. Our room, 322, was bright, spacious, clean & comfortable & had a front seat view as opposed to a side view. Breakfast was good, my husband was able to have bacon, egg & sausage & I enjoyed yoghourt & muesli plus there were many delicious pastries to choose from. The staff at breakfast are pleasant & work tirelessly to keep everything topped up & clean. The hotel is extremely well located in the relaxed town of Letojanni. The beach is just across the road. There are many good restaurants, Victor's just left out of the hotel was our favourite. There is an excellent small bar the Manhattan tucked away in Via Francesco Durante which does great G&Ts plus snacks for just 9 euro. We used the local Interbus for trips to Taormina, Castelmola, Forza d'Agro & Savoca - all excellent excursions. We caught the train to Giarre Riposta to catch the Ferrovia Circumetnea around Etna. Small niggles with the hotel which stopped me giving it top marks are that the balconies are very narrow & you can just about sit in the chair without being squashed. Also they lack privacy, we weren't too bad but we could look down at the adjacent balcony & almost touch it. Fortunately, no-one used it during our stay. Secondly, while we were there a number of largish tour groups stayed for a few nights & some were quite noisy. Particularly, one group who insisted on shouting across the balconies to each other. That said I would still recommend this hotel & if we ever return to Letojanni I would stay there again.
