“Location was Perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

people found this review helpful

My husband and I were thrilled when the Hotel gave us a complimentary upgrade upon arrival, we went up to our room, opened the doors to our balcony and the view was amazing! We could see the sea, the Greek Theater, the charming restaurants and shops and Mt Etna all without leaving our room. The staff was very helpful, bringing ice up to our room and extra towels upon request. We weren't very successful using their computer for reservations so they contacted our transport for us and arranged a meeting spot for pick up on our last morning. All things considered we would stay here again without hesitation. The location was PERFECT, we walked everywhere we wanted to go, the hotel is lovely and the price was right.

“Perfect location!”

The Isabella is located right on the Corso so it is perfect for shopping, dining etc. Amazingly enough, even though my windows looked right out onto the street the room was very quiet. The only exception was when the restaurant across the way played loud music but luckily this stopped by 10 p.m. Though not luxurious by any means the room was adequate and fairly reasonably priced. This would be a good choice for someone with mobility problems as Taormina is extremely hilly and most of the better hotels require a steep and/or long walk to get anywhere of interest.

“Great find!”

We stumbled upon Hotel Isabella by finding a nice recommendation online. This was lucky because the hotel was great. It was located right on the beautiful quaint main street in city centre. The hotel is small (boutique like) but very clean with nice facilities. There is a complimentary breakfast every day and a nice rooftop deck. It is an ideal location because it is central and walk-able to the entire city. Very kind and helpful staff. Highly recommend!

“Location is perfect”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

The hotel is located right on the main street in Taormina. Our room was spacious and the view from our balcony was beautiful. We spent our afternoons on the balcony enjoying a nice bottle of Sicilian wine. The staff was very helpful.

“Good location but poor service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011

Location of this hotel is perfect, in the city center, everything is within walking distance, but the service was really poor. We had been told we would have got 40% discount on parking but they never metioned that they were supposed to give us a voucher. We also asked where to get the shuttle bus (so they had another occasion to mention the voucher), no mention from they about the voucher. When we arrived to the car park they said surely we get 40% but only if the hotel provided a voucher.... basically because they have to pay the 40%, they try not to mention the voucher. Of course once you are down at the car park you don't go back up and so they save 40%.... Not really honest in my opinion....
