2 night stay in Taormina at the end of our Sicily trip. Room was clean and comfortable. The only issue is the water coming from the bathroom sink stunk of sulphur. The shower water did not smell. Otherwise, the location was perfect. Conveniently located near Corso Umberto!

Great views and convenient access

Hotel Continental has wonderful views of Etna, the sea, and Taormina from the terrace and the dining room. It is also (relatively) easy to access in a car compared to many options in town, but also only a short walk to the Main Street. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Our flight from the states to Italy was delayed, resulting in our flight to Sicily being delayed, but despite arriving at the hotel after 10:30 pm, we were warmly greeted and promptly checked into our rooms. Excellent service during our stay. Only comment would be that with anywhere you are staying in Taormina, there is HIGHLY limited parking, so do not plan to park at the hotel, but park at the parking ramp on the way into town and walk to the hotel (does involve taking stairs).

Perfect Location and access to the heart of the village, supper friendly and helpful staff, amazing roof top restaurant with beautiful view and very good breakfast baffle. Very clean room and comfortable bed. Everything we needed for one night stay in Taormina was available and has potential for longer stay. Definitely I recommend this hotel if you want to stay in the village. They provide valet parking with very reasonable cost. They helped us with reservation for Gambini Vini with very short notice that we really appreciated that.
