Stayed 3 nights here with my boyfriend recently. It was a lovely hotel in a great location. The rooms were slightly dated but very comfortable and well equipped. We had an Etna facing room (127) with a lovely little balcony with furniture, The breakfast was reasonably basic but good enough. There is no wifi in rooms. The staff spoke good... More

We really loved our time at the Continental Hotel. We were met by friendly staff and shown to our room. The room was small, but it was clean and had a good air conditioner (a life saver in the Sicilian summer). This was a great hotel. The only thing we would comment on is the lack of parking - although... More

The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is well placed near the centre of the Taormina which is accessed by the garden back gate. Being on a slope, the bedrooms are BELOW reception. Our hotel had a stunning view of Mt Etna which had a trail of molten lava running down the volcano clearly visible from my bed! The... More

I stayed here for two days with my girlfriend. The location was ideal right next to city center and all the main sights. The view from the hotel is simply breathtaking. From one side you have the Etna volcano and on the other side the sea! All of the stuff was very helpfull and friendly. The room is very clean.... More

This hotel is just an all around perfect stay. Rooms are a bit small but cleaned to ammaculate perfection and very nice views from the balconies. Staff members were top and spoke english very well which is a plus in such a small town in sicily. I regret though to say that one particular staff member (an italian girl) working... More

Clean rooms although a bit small (#143). We had a patio view - just OK. Walls are rather thin. Ask for room with balcony looking towards Mt. Etna. Good heater for cold February nights. Small but fast elevator to go DOWN to rooms and breakfast area. Use back gate through patio to access main part of Taormina.

Our room was small, a little tired yet very clean. However, importantly the bed was most comfortable . The view from our balcony was great, although January is not really the time of year to sit out there for long!!! However the view of Mt Etna (which was snow capped yet still 'bubbling') together with the view of the magnificent... More

The hotel is located on the edge of the old town, allowing you to drive to the front and walk out the back straight into the pedestrian area. The hotel itself is a bit old and out dated in the design and furniture. The room did not feel super clean as we saw several long black hairs in the bathroom... More
