Front desk staff amongst the most unhelpful I've ever encountered. General attitute was that they were doing us a considerable favour by cutting short their private conversations, with much tutting! . Tended to answer any question with a single yes or no. No attempt to add anything. Other staff very friendly, esp in the restaurant. Although the hotel appeared less... more

Nice hotel. The staff was quite hospitable. Located on a main street. Parking is a ways away in a public lot. Room was comfortable. Location quite convenient. Price was a great deal. more

My friend booked this hotel and we arrived Sunday. We were to stay four nights but on Monday a.m. I decided that I would like to spend the week there. (She had to leave Thurs) . We enquired at reception if I could stay on till the following sunday and were told that there was a room available. On Wed.... more

We are regular visitors to Taormina but this year needed to stay in a more central location. The Isabella is ideally situated for this purpose being on the main pedestrianised Corso Umberto and despite this location is very quiet and peaceful. Our standard room was spacious (with the exception of the shower cubicle), well furnished and spotlessly clean. Reception staff... more

Stayed in the Isabella for a week and was very satisfied overall. Ideally located in the heart of Taormina with great access to all the restaurants, shops and bars in the town. Room was average size though being an independent traveller this was of no concern to me - bathroom and shower (yes, agree it was small) were fine and... more

We stayed at the Isabella for two nights in late April 2009. The location is great, as you are in the city center and close to all the major sights. Our room had small balcony with a fantastic view of the city and sea. The room was a typical European-sized hotel room. Only mild complaint is that the shower was... more

We walked in and asked for a room, which we wanted to check for the quality of the mattress as one of us needs a decent mattress in order to avoid backpain. We were not allowed to do that as the recepionist said she was alone and could not go and show us the room. Just too bad, they missed... more

An excellent location and very good service... the room was very comfortable but the shower was too small!! The rooms were alwasy very clean and tidy. even though our room was very small, the window was big and so the room was very airy. We really look forward to going back very soon :) more
