We recently visited Taormina which is an amazing place on top of a hill overlooking the sea and Etna. As such, it is supposed to be probably the poshest place in Sicily. Hotel Continental was the most economic option, yet it was exactly what we were looking for. It is true that it is a basic hotel, with mediocre rooms... More

The attentive and cheerful receptionists made good for the occasional shortcoming, minor of room service. (Nothing that couldn't be resolved at once.) Breakfast service and choice are commendable. Steep slopes where the hotel is built means that rooms' location and privacy may vary considerably (check this out while booking or ask for room change if this matters and you aren't... More

We stayed here for 1 night. The first thing that struck me was that it seemed I walked back into the 1960s with the decor. I don't think this is intentional, it just needs to be updated. It did appear worn throughout. There is AC in the rooms and Wi-Fi only in the lobby area and part of the bar/terrace.... More

Stayed here one night on our way to Siracusa. Really liked Taormina overall, a bit on the jet-set side, but a pleasant stay none the less. The hotel was a nice property. Since the hotel is built on the mountain side, you enter at the top and then take the elevator or steps down to your rooms. I had a... More

The Continental Hotel is a good hotel in a great position in Taormina. We booked the hotel within two weeks of travel and there were no rooms left with balconies and views which was a shame but the rooms we had at the back of the hotel were still good, basic but very clean and although the shower was small...

The location of this hotel is superb, easy to reach by car, a short walk if you're using public transport. It sits just off one end of the Corso Umberto 1 (main street). It was evidently built in the 60s or 70s and has a retro feel. It has a large terrace dotted with sun-loungers, tables and chairs. The view... More
