Had an amazing stay at Hotel Continental! Located very close to the main shopping street/old town Taromina. Only criticism we had is the rooftop music was extremely loud and went on very late (well past midnight) which kept us awake sadly. Apart from that our stay was amazing but unfortunately the noise would put us off staying again!

Everyone who I interacted with was very kind and friendly. They put up with my primitive Italian and then in English helped us book a dinner reservation. The room was clean and modern and lights for all times of the day. The hotel is up from the Corso Umberto, so the terrace looks over pretty much all of Taormina and the view is outstanding. My only tip is to pronounce it "Continen-TALL-e" when you tell the cab driver where you are going.

We enjoyed our 3 night stay at Hotel Continental. The location is perfect for walking to the main street. The room was clean and comfortable, although the bathroom was very small. We had a nice balcony with a great view. The rooftop terrace has a wonderful view. We enjoyed the breakfast there every morning. We also had dinner there one evening and Happy Hour cocktails a couple times. The staff is friendly and professional.

Lovely, lovely hotel! First, we were greeted nicely with hotel staff. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. Well situated and location is few steps up from Centro. Very nice rooftop terrace with awesome view of Taormina and Mt. Etna. Breakfast is very good. My family and I travel a lot and one of the few hotels we’ve visited with no negative things to say. Too bad we can’t stay longer. But if will definitely stay again if we come back to Taormina. Highly recommended!!!

Staff was friendly - upgraded to corner balcony room upon arrival without even asking - excellent service- and could literally see Aetna from the outer deck and from the bed out the window. Parking was not a concern as there is parking out front and valet, both for a fee. Location provides view also from lovely rooftop bar and restaurant and is located next to a popular and famous local pizzeria/ restaurant. Easy walk to main area via « secret «  garden walkway.

First, I would like to compliment Sabrina at the front desk, who helped us find our way to the hotel from Mount Etna as our GPS was sending us in circles, she was patient and helpful and just beyond friendly. The entire staff, we’re all beyond friendly and helpful. The rooms are nice, nothing over the top, but very clean and accommodating. The Terrace is what makes this whole entire hotel as you can sit out on the terrace and have dinner and cocktails and overlook the entire Mediterranean, Taormina and Mount Etna in the distance. We will return one day and stay here if the opportunity comes our way again
