We were told when we booked that this was a 4* hotel, so huge disappointment to discover that this hotel barely scrapes by as a 2*. From the polystyrene ceiling tiles, barren room and unkempt garden to the 1960's furniture that looks like it was rescued from a skip, it reminded me of a government run hotel usually found in... more

front desk people were extremely friendly and helpful. We had left our converter at previous hotel and they lent us one. The breakfast was pleasant. The terrace lounge was large, comfortable with a great view. One night we came back to the hotel late with treats and they made and brought out coffee to us on the terrace. I would... more

I loved the view from the terrace of the hotel, the dinner was served outdoors if weather was good. They prepared vegetarian food on request (just have to tell them at breakfast). They come around at breakfast and ask everybody to choose from 2 choices for main dish. Good location, close to the Corso (main "high street"/shopping road). Friendly staff,... more

This is a very well located hotel in Taormina. Near the centre. There is not much of a view from the room we had but the views from the large terrace are stunning. The staff were extremely helpful. Most of them can communicate in English. We enjoyed our stay here and will surely look for this hotel for future stays.... more

Friendly hotel, rather dated but well located in a residential area near the cathedral. Unfortunately we must have got the tiniest room in all Sicily, with two single beds pushed together and just about enough space to walk around. Oh well, at least it was bright and airy, with a little balcony affording a partial side sea view. The bathroom... more

The hotel is well located and has lovely staff. The food is good. The rooms are VERY small,dirty,noisy and really unacceptable. The bathrooms have very unusual very small tubs with leaky fixtures . After shower or bath, the room gets flooded.Our group of 28 people had a uniform view that this is a dump with nice people. It badly needs... more

We were trying to find a hotel in Sicily and chose this hotel from the great reviews we saw on this site. We expected an out of date hotel in need of refurbishment from what people were saying. The hotel was lovely. It was simple but very very clean. The rooms are a great size with air conditioning. The shower... more

Just returned from the Hotel Continental. Was a little concerned after reading some reviews but have to say was not disappointed in the least. The hotel is set back from the Corso Umberto (up several flights of steps, but then everything is in Taormina!!). It is certainly not a place to go if you are not fit and active. The... more
