I paid for an extra night but left early because I was so disappointed in the service and amenities of Hotel Isabella. The woman who staffs the recpetion desk was surly and rude; she was unwilling to assist me when I needed to send an important fax to the U.S. When the first try didn't go through, I refused to... more

We are used to staying in 4 star hotel, so were a little apprehensive at this one, but I have to say for a three star we thought this hotel was great. Sure there were little issues like the toilet seat wasn't particularly stable and the shower curtain issue others have mentioned, but other than that it was great. Fantastic... more

This hotel is an ideal place to stay. It's in the centre of Taormina and it couldn't have been better. The room was a bit small for three people but that didn't mattter a lot since we used only to sleep and shower. Receptionists were nice, perhaps the female receptionist could smile more but the others were friendly. Breakfast was... more

Great location on the main street. Our room overlooked and, although a slight noise coming up late at night, nothing to bother about. The atmosphere in the street is great so it was nice to hear people. The room was quite small, but ideal as a base - you only sleep there. Air con worked well and room was very... more

The location is spot on, right on the main street, the Corso Umberto. The location is the main attraction as it is so convenient in terms of bars, shops, restaurants and the whole throng of Taormina. That said the rooms were quiet with little of the outside din a disturbance. It was fairly evident that this hotel needs updating both... more

sicily is somewhere my husband i had always wanted to visit. we had to travel on a budget and booked our flights/hotel seperately. we chose hotel isabella in taormina. compared to other hotels in the area the price was very good, this should have told us something. although the location was excellent - front door opening directly onto the main... more

Really enjoyed staying at this hotel, it is so central which we really appreciated after staying at the hotel soleado which was several minutes away from the centre (uphill too). Make sure that you get a sea view as I don't think that we would have enjoyed staying at the front of the hotel with all the noise from the... more

It was a good hotel but make sure it is suitable for your needs e.g. not ideal for kids. It is situated on Corso Umberto which is the main street of Taormina. The hotel staff were always polite and I couldn't fault the cleanliness. Breakfast was a good spread and served between 7.30-10am. The rooms were small but adequate. When... more

Great location and neat and tidy hotel. we had a great view of the theatre as wel as the ocean and the rooms were of a decent size. There was a constant sound of running water but that couldn't be heard over the airconditioning. We put in some clothes to get drycleaned and they never came back... apparently they are... more
