    An older-style hotel in a great location in Taormina’s pedestrian zone

    Hotel is in a great central location in the old town pedestrian area. Our room on the third floor benefitted from windows and a balcony that allowed good views to the sea and far coastline over rooftops. The hotel is handy to all the major attractions, restaurants and cafes - it is also a short walk to Messina Gate where it is easy to catch buses to/from the station, and for day tours or a taxi. The hotel has a dated interior but our room was comfortable, with a reasonably sized bathroom. Breakfast was not extensive but included cold meats and cheeses along with the typical pastries and cakes. More than ample. The staff were also helpful.

    Nothing about the property. Just our room was facing the main street which is a bit noisy at night with people walking & also then in the morning with the garage trucks coming & vendors getting their deliveries the balcony doors are not that sound proof Also our attached blow dryer didn’t work I told the front desk thought they would fix or give one but they didn’t. Our daughter’s room had a portable one so I just took theirs. We were only there 2days. The breakfast was great though

    Location was great right in the middle of everything

    The bed left much to be desired; the hair dryer provided wasn't great either.

    Location-wise, this place was spot on, right in the heart of Taormina. Being just above Corso Umberto, we soaked in the lively atmosphere from our balcony, which was the highlight of our stay. Breakfast was okay, there weren't many choices. Overall, the vibe was pleasant.

    Although we placed complaints about a broken lamp and a broken toilet seat, they were not repaired during our stay.

    The location is very central yet we were not bothered with the noise from the street as the rooms were looking over an internal garden.

    I didn’t like the noise outside the window. It was right above a courtyard and often people were there at night and loud. I also didn’t care for the front desk person Simone. He didn’t seem to care about the clients experience there and was rude.

    I loved the location! On Corso Umberto and close to everything. Very convenient

    Reception staff were a bit cold & unfriendly.

    Hotel Isabella was closed on dates I booked but they referred me to Hotel Villa Diodoro which was superb & palatial. Room had a view of the gardens and ocean. Bed was comfortable. Great gardens on the cliff by the sea and view of Mt Etna. Good breakfast buffet. Restaurant food was okay. Their swimming pool was beside the cliff & would be great in summer.

    The shower head wasn’t well attached and sprayed most of the bathroom wet. They need to check those, especially since many European screens only cover half the tub or less

    The Aircon was turned off even thought it was really hot in November. We couldn’t sleep with our doors open because we had a shared balcony. And the fan didn’t work well.

    Great location and Breakfast. The room was really spacious.

    Uncomfortable beds and very small room with even smaller bathroom. However its only 3 star so i consider it ok.

    Very good location on the main street of Taormina. Bars and ristorantes everywhere. The staff was pleasant and helpful. Breakfast is ok but nothing fancy. The view is awesome.

    No air conditioning..room was very warm ….no info on how to get from the train station to the hotel which is confusing as when you arrive you have no idea where you are..the hotel and the town centre is quite away from the station..so any information on transportation to the hotel would have been greatly appreciated…and, almost all information generally about transportation to and from the train station was different from every source ..very frustrating..but the town in beautiful and now we know our way around would stay again. Unbeatable location..

    Fabulous location….unbeatable …noisy on the street but does not take away from the location…well worth it...lovely buffet breakfast and charming room …
