Perfect location, nice room, lovely rooftop breakfast, great having shuttle to a beautiful beach!
Óptima localização. Hotel confortável e agradável, consegue integrar-se no estilo próprio de Taormina. Pequeno almoço no terraço com vistas deslumbrantes para o mar Jónico e vulcão Etna.
Hangulatos tetőterasz, gyönyörű kilátással az Etnára. A reggeli átlagos volt, finom croissant, de ne igyatok kavét. A zöld tea pedig elfogyott.
Gyenge minőségű kávé/capuccino, a zöld tea elfogyott, lassú kiszolgálás.
המלון ממוקם במיקום מדהים ארוחת בוקר מצויינת מאוד נחמדים
It was right in the center of town. You could not ask for a better location. Breakfast was very nice. The staff was very helpful.
Great location Great breakfast on top terrace
No coffee facilities No complimentary water Difficult car access TV same size as a laptop
A localização
Cafe da manha muito ruim. Tem um excelente rooftop porem nao tem restaurante.
Gostei de tudo Conforto e limpeza nota 10
Breakfast on the terrace with a great view of Mt Etna
They didn't have an iron in the room and no laundry on the weekend. However they allowed me to use the hotels' iron which was very kind
Very centrally located, shuttles to the beach, breakfast on a beautiful terrace… our family had a wonderful stay
El desayuno en una terraza divina y el transfer al lido un lugar muy lindo y cuidado
La habitacion minima y el baño pequeñisimo
Breakfast very good !Beautiful room with balcony. Best location on Corso Umberto
Would have been good to have happy hour up on the 4 th floor deck
Bardzo dobra lokalizacja, czysty pokój. Hotel spełnił moje oczekiwania co do 2 osobnych łóżek. Serdecznie polecam!
Hotel con excelente ubicación. Hermosa terraza ,buen desayuno.
Mala señal de wi-fi en la habitación. Que no se pudiera controlar el aire acondicionado...y hacía demasiado calor...
Muy bien ubicada arriba en Taormina
Desayuno pobre
Staff was super friendly and helpful
It’s an run down hotel. The bathroom was small and old. The room we stayed was also very small. There was a central air condition system and did not work efficiently. The staff arranged us a fan.
המיקום במיקום המיקום על רחוב קורסו המרכזי, הכל למטה ומסביב. מלון בוטיק קטן וחמוד, אמנם החדרים קטנים אך בסך הכל נעימים. ההערה היחידה היא המיקום של חדר האוכל על המרפסת בגג בחום אימים, לא סביר בכלל.
המיקום של חדר האוכל במרפסת הגג בחום אימים , מאוד לא נעים ולא נוח לאכול כך.
Todo muy bien, el desayuno y la terraza excelente
Não é a primeira vez que me hospedo no Hotel Isabela e em todas elas só confirmei que minha escolha foi acertada. É um hotel muito bem localizado com instalações básicas limpas e confortáveis. Todo o staff é muito atencioso e cordial. Nota: em temperaturas diárias entre 32 e 37°C o ar condicionado funcionou muito bem.
O wi-fi poderia melhorar e ter a possibilidade de um transfer entre a estação de onibus e o hotel.
tutto perfetto. la posizione, la colazione e la terrazza.
i bagni andrebbero ristrutturati
Ci è piaciuto tantissimo sia la posizione che i servizi , accoglienza e disponibilità del personale da consigliare.

Muy bella terraza a la hora del desayuno y la ubicación es lo mejor! Buena atención del personal por ayudar.
La ubicación es excelente El desayuno en la terraza muy lindo Además te llevan y te traen a la playa con servicio de reposeras y sombrillas incluido Muy bueno el servicio
El baño demasiado chica la ducha
Staff were very friendly and helpful, and assisted with booking several local tours / experiences
Shower was a bit small / compressed
Comodissima la navetta che porta alla spiaggia privata dell altro loro hotel. Ottima posizione, in centro su corso Umberto. E bellissima terrazza al 4 piano con vista
Non mi è piaciuta tanto la camera a piano terra vicino alla reception : purtroppo si sentiva la gente parlare fuori... per il resto tutto ok
Centralità
La propreté, le lit ,la situation géographique le ruftop (avec la vue superbe sur la mer et les toits de la ville) pour le petit déjeuné

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.
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!
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.
Location. Rooftop.
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.

Nulla tutto perfetto
Struttura centralissima, comoda per visitare tutto il centro storico
Il bagno troppo piccolo Colazione molto scarna, direi pessima per la cifra pagata: solo pane e qualche cornetto.
La posizione,molto pulito reception accogliente personale gentilissimo anche una bella terrazza per fare colazione
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 .
Everything was great .
Molto accogliente personale gentile e disponibile sono organizzati anche per il parcheggio auto a pochi passi dall'Hotel
Die Lage.
Das Bad und das sehr kleine Zimmer
Posizione sul corso principale di Taormina
Colazione migliorabile per varietà e qualità, cmq accettabile
O hotel é limpíssimo e muito organizado. O staff atencioso. Bom café da manhã e o ar condicionado funcionando bem nos dias de muito calor.
Gostei de tudo, porém o wi-fi poderia melhorar.
Exceptional staff friendliness and Hotel location in Corso Umberto 10 min walk from bus terminus.
Nice to have a breakfast in the terrace but selection can be improved. Bathroom was a bit oldish.
The Location in center of city
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.
Great central location, friendly staff, plus a convenient daily shuttle to a wonderful beach.

Il malfunzionamento del condizionatore
Posizione, vista mare della terrazza dove si consuma la colazione
Stanza piccola, infissi non isolanti
La posizione dell'albergo è centralissima nel corso Umberto come piace a me, abbiamo potuto vivere appieno la meravigliosa Taormina, a pochi passi dallo stazionamento degli autobus e dei taxi,a pochi passi dal teatro antico e dalla piazza lX Aprile. Abbiamo trovato uno staff accogliente la direttrice la signora Francesca persona splendida sempre disponibile e pronta a soddisfare ogni richiesta degli ospiti. Tornerò sicuramente al più presto!!

We have stayed here several times and will come back because of the location, excellent service and the spectacular view from the breakfast terrace. It is right in the centre of Taormina. We love it.
There was nothing we could fault however prices varied greatly from our one visit to the next, probably because of the high season
Colazione incredibile , ben forniti
Ho chiesto un ferro da stiro e non ne erano muniti
It was central to everything. Rooms were rather small but we had a great balcony and view.
Bathroom very small
Posizione
Assenza di privacy
Una sorpresa che non mi aspettavo! Credevo di dovermi "accontentare" di un 3 stelle. Invece è stato un soggiorno da ricordare. Dall'accoglienza: personale gentilissimo, check-in puntuale e consigli utilissimi sui posti da visitare. La camera: pulita, ordinata, funzionale e con un bellissimo stile antico che si sposa perfettamente con Taormina. La posizione: imbattibile. Proprio su Corso Umberto, a 2 passi da Dior, Zimmermann e dai migliori bar e ristoranti della città. La ciliegina: la terrazza al 4° piano. Vista su Taormina e sull’Etna mentre fai colazione. Il buffet è semplice ma con ampia scelta dolce/salato e il servizio impeccabile. Anche alla partenza ci hanno coccolati: deposito bagagli, uso del bagno e salottino per rinfrescarsi. Tornerò di sicuro. Consigliatissimo.
Niente
Posizione ottima e centrale. Colazione ottima servita in una bella terrazza.
Camera molto piccola, con arredi del bagno vetusti e con pochissimi servizi/accessori, non c’erano le pantofole e la tv piccolissima.
Ubicación estupenda y muy buen trato del personal. Vistas de la terraza magnificas en el desayuno.
El baño puede mejorarse
Good location
Could have better breakfast..only boiled hard cold eggs, no other egg option
Tutto, la posizione, la gentilezza dello staff, la capacita’ di rispondere ad ogni esigenza. Colazione ottima e completa con bellissima vista. Camera comoda, servizi eccellenti e puliti. Zona super centrale ma senza eccessivo rumore e comunque stanza isolata acusticamente. Servizio navetta con spiaggia privata eccellente. Parcheggio su richiesta con prelievo e riconsegna che per questa citta’ e’ ORO. Posto dove tornero’ nei prossimi soggiorni a Taormina.
Il terrazzo dove si serve la colazione e prodotti abbondanti
Camera piccola, bagno piccolissimo al.punto che all interno non ci si puo muovere, d altronte ci avevano assegnato una camera matrimoniale con letto matrimoniale come richiesto, dopo circa un ora, ci fanno cambiare camera dicendo, che avevano sbagliato e che ci davano un altra camera piu accogliente e migliore, falsità , mentendo sapendo di mentire, letto scomodissimo 2 lettini singoli uniti e un matrimoniale?? Maaaa
Great view at breakfast. Central location. Friendly staff.
We booked a sea view and got a street view. It was very loud at night due to the street traffic.
Posizione ottima, vero punto di forza dell’hotel, a due passi da tutto. Personale molto gentile, accogliente e disponibile. Terrazza con vista stupenda.
La colazione servita in terrazza purtroppo aveva un difetto: piccioni e passerotti si posavano spesso e indisturbati sui tavoli apparecchiati, sulle stoviglie non coperte, sui cibi. Con dispiacere ho rinunciato a far colazione e sono dovuta andare fuori per farla. La mia stanza aveva una porta divisoria comunicante con un’altra: per quanto chiusa, non permetteva abbastanza privacy né per me, né all’altra cliente.
La posizione eccezionale e la terrazza dove fare colazione all’aperto, guardando il mare e tutti i tetti di Taormina
È un po’ antiquato nel nell’arredamento
Posizione perfetta e ottimo servizio spiaggia incluso
Colazione pessima, struttura vecchia e da risistemare
CONSIGLIATISSIMO! HOTEL IN PIENO CENTRO A TAORMINA. VICINO AL TEATRO GRECO E A TUTTI I LOCALI. FANTASTICA LA TERRAZZA DOVE FARE COLAZIONE CON UNA VISTA MOZZA FIATO. PERSONALE GENTILE. COLAZIONE BUONA CON DOLCE E SALATO E SE LO CHIEDI TI FANNO L'ESPRESSO E IL CAPPUCCINO. E COSA NON DA POCO... CHE HO APPREZZATO MOLTO E' STATO IL LIDO CON OMBRELLONE E SDRAIO COMPRESI NELLA TARIFFA DEL SOGGIORNO. CON LA NAVETTA TI PORTANO FINO AL LIDO. CI RITORNERO' PRESTO.
Posizione invidiabile, a un passo da tutto il centro di Taormina. Staff gentilissimo
Qualcosina in più sulla colazione potrebbe essere fatta
Чудесен хотел, локация, любезен персонал! Ще ви посетим отново! Препоръчвам! Благодаря!

La ubicación mejor imposible, la terraza de la habitacion grande y buena vista, el desayuno muy completo en esa terraza preciosa, me encantó, el personal muy amable..volvería feliz
Ubicación, desayuno con vistas al Etna
Emplacement, accès plage, roof top
Super lokalizacja
Location right in the center, nice view from the terrence where the breakfast is tasty, very helpful stuff. The access to the beach on the partner hotel Caparena is a plus, transportation there is 5$ , 3 slots to go in the morning and 3 to return in the afternoon. Renting/bringing towels is needed but the atmosphere and view is great, not very crowded.
My criteria for choosing the hotel was sea view yet the sea view is from right side, mostly over the city but is pleasant overall. Wins with the view from the terrace
excellent location, in the middle of the Down Town very friendly staff clean room nice breakfast also providing valet parking survice since no parking in the hotel. you just need to inform them beofre arriving so they send the driver to a 3 min walking place to get the car from you
everything was perfect location is top cleaness is top
Centraal gelegen hotel. Prachtig dakterras. Ruime kamer. Geen last van omgevingsgeluid.
Ontbijt was sober. De koffie was niet zo lekker.
The location is perfect
Ground floor it’s the worst option that you can ever have. You will hear reception, neighbors that leaving the hotel at 4am, the hotel need to do with this
Perfect location, nice and helpfull staff. Hotel has a shuttle service for beach.
En plein centre très bien situé pour flâner.
Attention pas de parking et très difficile d en trouver à proximité voir impossible.
The location is outstanding! The room are comfortable- the staff are friendly and attentive.
I liked everything- I will add a coffee machine-
Розташування, чистота, сніданок. Те що треба для короткотривалих подорожей
Location was good.
Unfortunately, our stay was disappointing and did not meet our expectations. The room was extremely small, and the bathroom was so tiny that it was difficult to move around comfortably. The balcony was also much narrower than expected, with only enough space for one person at a time. On arrival, the staff did not offer to help with or take our luggage to the room, which was surprising for a hotel of this standard. We were also disappointed that there was no iron available, which made preparing for outings inconvenient. Overall, we found the room lacked comfort and the level of service we expected. Based on our experience, we would not choose to stay here again.
Great location in the middle of Taormina. Nice size of the room.
2/3 of breakfast options were sweets. Would suggest a bit bigger savory choice of foods.
The location is fantastic right on Main Street
The hotel is quite dated and air conditioning barely kept the room cool.
Great location, nice room. Comfortable Bed.
Air con did not work great but it was sufficient.
Great location, friendly staff, and a spacious room where I could relax comfortably. Highly recommended!
Excelente la ubicación, el cuarto y el desayuno.
Estaba roto el ascensor y habíamos tomado ese hotel por el ascensor. Nos "compensaron" con una botellita de agua mineral deĺ frigobar pero había que subir al 4o piso a desayunar. No sé si había cuartos en la planta baja.
Location
Extremely dated
Location was good
Very small room
Buonissima, varia e abbondante
Bagno davvero troppo piccolo
La terraza es excelente para desayunar y/o llevar algo para tomar por la noche. La ubicación. Te llevan al lido Caparena (por solo 5€ por persona) e incluye sombrilla y reposera.
Los productos de aseo. Mismo producto para el cabello y el cuerpo. Al llegar te dicen que el agua del grifo no es potable y ni siquiera te ofrecen una botella de cortesía, sino que la botella pequeña te la cobran €3.
Pequeno-almoço e localização
Limpeza dos quartos não era a melhor
PERFECT location! I was not sure where in Taormina to look for a hotel and options were limited due to high demand. This ended up being the PERFECT location. It was so close to everything, basically right in the middle no matter what we wanted to see, we were close. The rooftop terrace is fantastic...breakfast is served there and you can go and enjoy the views anytime you want. AMAZING VIEWS of the old theater, the town, the ocean, Naxos, and Mt. Etna. Breathtaking. The room was clean. There is an elevator but we took the stairs other than with our luggage. You get free access to a private beach with shuttle van transfer (EUR 5 per person round trip), which I didn't know when we booked. I highly recommend pistachio gelato and cannoli from Novè, just around the corner from the hotel, off of Piazza Vittorio Emanuel II.
Staff was professional but not super outgoing. But they did a fine job.
Me encantó todo!!! El hotel es divino, situado en plena Corso Humberto. Las instalaciones una maravilla. El personal super amable. Siempre dispuestos a ayudar y dan super buenos consejos. La terraza donde sirven el desayuno es espectacular. El desayuno es excelente. Realmente un disfrute!!! Felicitaciones al hotel!!!
La posizione e la terrazza dedicata alla prima colazione
Il bagno piccolissimo con difficoltà di accesso al water. Una persona in sovrappeso non potrebbe usufruirne per via della suddivisione dello spazio. Doccia molto vecchia con box a soffietto, dava la sensazione di scarsa pulizia. Mancava una ventola per la pulizia dell’aria, naturalmente senza finestra. La camera insisteva su un terrazzino comune ad altre 2 camere di conseguenza eravamo costretti a vivere all’interno della stanza con le tapparelle abbassate per mantenere la privacy. Al di fuori erano presenti due ragazzi distesi a terra.
The perfect location in the heart of Taormina. Walking distance to all hotspots.
Very poor acoustics between rooms. You won’t know what sort of room you’ve been assigned, but many rooms only have sliding doors between rooms, so it’s like living with another family.
Great location but let down by management and administration. Don’t stay on the ground floor, you will hear all the noise in reception as there is no acoustic treatment. Also the rooms aren’t separated properly and many only have sliding doors separating them. Despite knowing this, the manager refused to do anything about our room.
Tiny bathroom
Many rooms are connected by only a sliding door, so there is no privacy. We stayed in a room with another family next door and it was literally like we were living with them. Despite this and making a recoding of the noise and visiting our room, the staff refused to offer any discount or compensation. Also staying on the ground floor is terrible. There is no acoustic treatment on the doors and all noises from reception can be heard. It was a very poor experience. There are many other options in Taormina. I would suggest you look elsewhere for your stay.
