What guests think

Across many reviews, travellers praise Hotel Isola Bella for its spectacular views of Isola Bella and a handy base near the beach and cable car, offering a scenic, convenient spot for relaxing stays away from Taormina’s busier centre.

Staff receive consistent compliments for being friendly, helpful and proactive. Rooms commonly feel dated, with small bathrooms and showers, hard beds and occasional AC issues; road-facing rooms can be noisy. Facilities include a pleasant pool (though it has been closed for maintenance at times), while parking is limited or off-site and can be costly. Breakfast is generally well liked and enjoyed on a terrace with views, though a few guests found it basic; overall, expect a simple, view-led stay with warm service in a retro property.

I stayed here during a business trip. I had wanted to use the gondola up to the town center but it was not working for the week I was there. That makes it much harder to get up there, either a nice cheap bus or an expensive taxi. But for staying int he beach area this is a great afordable option. The pool was also nice to have and you can have breakfast on the deck overlooking Isola Bella. A 5 start view for 3 star prices. The staff is great and very helpful.

Although the stay was overall ok/good, the hotel is somewhat dated for the area and the price we paid. Our room faced the road, which offered spectacular views; unfortunately, it also included all the sounds and noises from speeding motorcycles, cars, and garbage trucks late at night and early in the morning. The bathroom we had was very small, and the shower was tiny, even by European standards. No Parking at this location, I had to make a deal at a local parking lot for an extra $40 Euro a night. Approx. 10-minute walk to the Funivia (Cable Car) that takes you to Taormina was a plus.

Hotel is nice, with a great, deserted pool and wonderful breakfast buffet. Restaurant next door is very good. Staff was friendly and helpful. On the downside, the bed was very hard, there is no parking, and walking to the cable car to get up to Taormina or to get to the public beach is on a fairly busy road. There is a bus to Taormina directly in front of the hotel.

Never been in such old and decrepit hotel. The room was so small that my 50 kilos were too big. Thin doors, air conditioning older than my granny, small bed, claustrophobic. I wouldnt recommend staying even if you are desperate. The reception staff is really amazing, that was the highlight of the stay.

Had a single room which was tiny but the best view of Isola Bella you could wish for ( and I moved to the Four Seasons for work after this stay and my room view there was not as good as this !) Recommend this hotel for location and view but be aware it’s a very old hotel sort of stuck in the 70s so be aware you get what you pay for. After the crowds go only a few restaurants close to hotel and you need to walk along road so walk whatever side of road towards traffic. Check in easy and the young lad was nice and helpful on hotel and what to do in area. I would stay again.

Da vi ankom havde poolen dog lukket i en dag, da der var service på den hvilket var lidt ærgerligt. Vi tog derfor til stranden og betalte 25 euro pr mand for liggestole. Der er lydt på hotellet og det trænger til lidt renovering, men udsigten var fantastisk. Morgenmaden kedelig som på mange hoteller i Italien. Selv kaffen fra en automat var kedelig.
