Good price for the hotels location. Basic amenities. Breakfast was just ok- ours came with the room otherwise I would go out to eat for cheaper price and better coffee. Room was clean. No AC until June and there is a lovely terrace but our food was served in the lower level- maybe they move it upstairs for the summer. We did have to open the window to get air as it was warm- and got alot of city noise- but that’s just proximity to everybody.

Just don't call it a balcony

The Hotel Isabella is a lovely property in the best location possible for being in the center of Taormina. Convenient to all sights. However, we were disappointed in the room we were given. We reserved a room with a balcony for a five-night stay. We were assigned room 44 which they call a balcony and is no more than a protective railing. Not able to fit chairs to sit there. it can only fit one person at a time. We single filed onto to the ledge to look out. The room next door which does have a good-sized balcony (chairs and table), where the 2 sets of guests that stayed for approximately 2 days each, routinely enjoyed sitting out on their balcony and had a good laugh whenever we tried to go out there scraping against the exterior wall and the railing that they deem a balcony. The room below had a full terrace. We had a railing. We expected better considering we stayed 5 nights. In saying that, the staff were helpful and available and the breakfast buffet was ample.

Pleasant property in centre of Taormina . Staff very helpful and organised . Breakfast room was well stocked . We wanted a room with a balcony … which we got … with a view of the see . Unfortunately it was a shared balcony with other rooms on the first floor … which I don’t mind … but wasn’t explicit in the room description and came as a surprise . Toilet unfortunately was tiny with a toilet , bidet , sink and shower extremely close together . Not suitable for claustophobics ! But overall hotel was very convenient for two nights and had comfortable bed and quiet room .

Hotel location was the high point - on the Corsa Umberto and only metres from taxi drop off or bus transfers. Welcoming staff on arrival set the tone. Old decor almost seemed to add a touch of class to the surroundings. Everything literally on the doorstep of the Hotel. Shuttle service to Private Beach Club another highlight.

We booked tgis hotel and was put us in Hitel Villa Diodoro because they were remodeling. Villa Diodoro, the front staff was very rude and did not want to answer any of our questions, like what time is breakfast. When we arrived at our room there was a buzzing noise with a rattle (402). When we reported it to the front desk, they said it should stop at 9:30. They couldn't move us since they were full (which many rooms were not being used since rolling shutters were down all day and evening). The noise did not stop. Needless to say, we had a hard time sleeping. We finally talked to the front desk manager the next day, and he moved us to a different room. There was no compensation for the lack of sleep, not even an apology. The room floors are very dirty and need a good cleaning, the carpet in the hall needs to be replaced. The linens were torn. I am sure the hotel was nice in the 80's but has not been updated since. The breakfast was all processed food, from the meats to the pastries. They had an instant machine for coffee and juice like a cafeteria. The pool area was not open, the front desk told us it was dangerous. They had no shuttle to the bottom. The driveway was broken and unsafe to walk up. Basically, it needs a good overhaul. The view was spectacular. But many other choices for the price that we paid for supposedly a 4 start hotel that had a Michelin star 5 years ago. Very disappointed. Make sure you are actully staying at the hotel you booked
