We had a bit of trouble finding the place but eventually got there with very welcoming reception staff. Breakfast there was a good variety but would say it did not meet my expectations. Dinner was exceptional though. Unfortunately during our visit it was rainy all day and cold so did not spend much time on the balcony but views were good.

We stayed on the 1st floor and there was no wifi signal, so me and my partner had to get roaming from our provider as we are both very reliant on wifi.

Every single thing....amazing, for us, worthy of a 5*! We stayed for one night on Thursday 8th August as a party of 7 (rooms 144, 145, 146). On arrival, the reception staff were professional friendly and gave us a warm welcome-nothing was too much effort. We were so grateful for the earlier check-in, the ease of the valet parking and the welcome fruit....we really could not have felt more spoilt. Our rooms were superb-so clean, spacious and had all the amenities we needed. The light show in the shower was a wonderful and extravagant touch! The view.....well, nothing could prepare us for how lucky we were to not only have a garden view, but also that of Etna! The location of the hotel is the best we could have hoped, everything was within walking distance, just the best experience in a perfect hotel, a gorgeous little garden too. We arranged drinks at the Sky Bar for 7pm prior to our arrival...it was magical! The view, the drinks themselves, the cicetti, all with the best rooftop bar view in Taormina! The beds were very comfortable, the air-conditioning was perfectly set....we all slept very well. Finally, the breakfast-again one of the best we have ever had at a hotel....and the price was excellent value. Checkout was so easy, our car brought back to us from the valet too. We can not thank the staff at Hotel Continental enough, and we will be back at some point for sure! Grazie mille

Property was in a great location. At first it seems out of the way but once you check in they tell you about a back entrance that leads you literally right down into the main square. It was perfect. Room was clean and I had a little balcony looking at Mt Etna. The rooftop terrace is so cute. I had dinner here and the staff were so nice and the food was pretty good. But the views are the best part. Front desk staff was also great and very helpful! I even got to check in early which was a huge plus as I was only there for one day. Wish I could have spent a couple more days here!

The shower is small but it was only me so didn’t affect me much.

Our stay at Hotel Continental in Taormina was exceptional! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the receptionist, and the entire staff was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our visit. The location of the hotel is perfect—just a few steps from the garden, and you’re right in the heart of the city center. It made exploring Taormina so convenient. We absolutely loved the breakfast, especially the unique experience of making our own cannoli. It was such a delightful touch! The highlight for us was the stunning view from the terrace—it’s truly breathtaking and adds so much charm to the overall experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Taormina!

The staff were amazing, welcoming and attentive. Our room had a lovely garden-facing balcony, which was lovely to relax in. The views from the Sky Rooftop bar of Mount Etna and Taormina were outstanding. The room was very comfortable, clean and had a great shower. There is a short walk to the Duomo and the main street, so the location is brilliant for getting around to all of them main places to visit.

There are steps everywhere in Taormina, and there are some to reach the main street. We didn't try the food, so cannot comment on that.

The hotel was centrally located and convenient for going to the main part of town to access bars and restaurants. There were pleasant gardens and good views, and a comfortable lounge/bar area The reception staff were very helpful, We didn't have breakfast included but we could have done for an extra €10 each

Our room was by the bar & the cleaner's cupboard so there was noise in the evening and in the morning The bathroom was a bit tiny and you could not stand in front of the sink as the shower cubicle was in the way. The traffic & narrow streets made getting to the hotel a bit dicey!

The location was perfect, with easy access to Corso Umberto for shopping and restaurants. The staff was incredible, especially when we arrived a bit harried. We were greeted with smiles, reassuring assistance, fresh fruit in the room, and Prosecco. This made all the stress of a challenging arrival to Sicily melt away. Dinner restaurant recommendations to places we would not have found on our own provided us the best meals and service we encountered.

Excellent location - very close to the walking street and to Porta Modica. Clean room, comfy bed and very supportive staff. Excellent view towards the city, the sea and Etna. The breakfast costs additional 10 euro per person, and I strongly recommend to get it, as abundant and wonderful. Additional bonus if you have good weather and get your breakfast at the roof-top terrace.

Bath towels seem a bit small compared to similar hotels from our visit. When outside there’s a party, I room is a bit loud.

Warm and kind behaviour upon the check in with a lovely lady from reception is giving you a vacation mood in a second, following the breathtaking terrace - is a goal. Just in the center of an old town, surrounded by thousand bars, restaurants and view points. Sunset aperetive on the terrace is must! We stayed in renovated room so is was just as you expect it, even with a slippers inside! Breakfast is amazing, if you stay in April or may try authentic nespola fruit - blows away! Guess almost all of the rooms has an etna view)

There is no sound isolation in the rooms, so if you will have noisy French neighbour there is nothing you can do))

Beautiful partial view and grounds. Excellent customer service. Sabina was exceptional! Very welcoming and accommodating property. Breakfast was lovely! Lots of variety. Close to shopping and restaurants! Excellent location!

Location of our room a bit odd and noisy with deliveries late in evening sometimes. We were on main floor and only 2 rooms located there. Very tiny room and bathroom but yes, I would stay again if a different room and floor. Good location for getting to shops and restaurants.
