Pros:

THE most beautiful stay. The hotel is absolutely stunning, and right on the main street of town. Location is perfection. The rooms were large with plenty of space. The staff were fantastic and super helpful. They have a cheap shuttle that takes you to a sister hotel by the beach, where you can lounge at a semi-private beach all day. Absolutely incredible. The breakfast was substantial, with a massive balcony so you don't feel like you're sitting too close to others. At night you can use the balcony and look over the streets and water. Truly a magical stay.

Great location, facilities need updating to the current century
Pros:

Location. Rooftop.

Cons:

Shower too small. Bathroom too small. Double room was actually 2 single beds joined by a folded sheet across them, they actually separated during the night and my partner fell down the middle. No lighting in the room except two lamps. Need to get rid of the old school cupboards and roller desk.

Great hotel with all the basics – ideal for travellers who just need a place to sleep!
Pros:

The hotel was a little old-fashioned but well looked after, and reasonably priced considering we travelled in peak season. The location couldn't really be more central – right in the centre of Taormina on Corso Umberto. The air con in our room worked well (and was much needed given the heat outside). The breakfast selection was generous and is served on the hotel's roof terrace which has amazing views of the town and the surrounding landscape.

Cons:

The room was quite small for three people, and was a little bit dark considering the only window was on the door leading out to a balcony/small terrace which we shared with two other hotel rooms (it's a shame you don't get your own). It's a shame they don't have a bar on the roof terrace as we certainly would have gone there!

Pros:

The Location in center of city

Cons:

The room was extremely uncomfortable, and the bed was terrible. During the night, the bed actually separated into two parts, which made it impossible to sleep properly.

I paid €165 for the night, and considering the price, the conditions were very disappointing. The room was extremely poorly insulated, so we could hear everything happening in the street. In the middle of the night, workers arrived to unload things, and the noise woke us up.

Whenever we opened the window, there was a strong smell of sewage coming from outside, making it impossible to get fresh air.

The staff did not even ask us how our stay was. The breakfast was also very poor and disappointing. It is a real shame to be in Italy and be served such a low-quality breakfast.

For €165, I expected a much higher standard. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing and I would not recommend this place.

Pros:

Beautiful Isabella Hotel in Taormina , main street Corso Umberto. Great staff , special thanks to John and Gulia , that were so nice to us with all the help and explanations we needed . The breakfast is really delicious on the rooftop . Very clean rooms . And a free acces to another beautiful hotel's private beach comes with the room, so it was just perfect ! And no need to look for the bus because the hotel offered everyday a car driver for only 5 euros back and forth to the beach .

Cons:

Everything was great .
