The hotel was a 2 star, however, it was expensive to that category. The AC could not be controlled, the only option was on/off, and it was too cold and noisy. The bathroom was not clean, the shower had an old and dirty curtain that did not stop the water, and as the bathroom was tiny, there was always the danger of slipping. With all that, the staff was very nice and helpful. The only mirror in the room was covered by a TV.

Nice hotel in a good location. The staff were delightful and very helpful. Convenient for walking to the town centre, and for the cable car. Good breakfast. Excellent value for money.

The people were very nice and helpful and we enjoyed the view on the water from our balcony. The hotel was a little hard to find when first arrived. We found that having to leave the room key at the front desk, every time we went out, was very convenient. We didn't need use two keys (wife and I) and didn't have to carry those big keys in our pockets all day.

Staff were very communicative and responsive prior to check-in. They also had some free parking a short distance away, although I understand this is first come first serve. Location very good. Nice comfortable room with a small balcony. Recommend.

What a fantastic stay I had at this beautiful hotel. The staff was so kind and welcoming. The room was very comfortable and the view was absolutely perfect. Room 306 has the best view of the sunrise. I highly recommend when visiting Taormina to stay here!!! Until next time my friends :)

Just a short walk from the center and the staff was absolutely helpful also a very nice breakfast

What a GREAT place! First, the location: if you are lucky, your room will be facing North - and with your own private balcony, you could easily spend a month there looking at the view! It's fabulous! Also, it's within a 5-minute walk from the "gate" (literally) of town, very convenient without being "in the tourist crowd". Then the service: a warm welcome, anything to help me with parking or what to do in town, hikes to take, the tram to go to the sea... All with huge smiles! The room and the bathroom are a bit non-descript (very clean) but if you balance that with the view and the location, who cares!! Breakfast is in a room behind the reception - many choices, savory or sweet. The coffee (cappuccino for me!) is the best! WiFi, no problem (a must for me). Parking nearby. Loved the place, only wished that I had stayed 2 or 3 more days, there is so much to do there between visiting, and hiking, and swimming in the sea (yes, in October!)

Great staff, very helpful and always happy to help

very nice people running the business , 3-4 mins walk to Taormina upper town , charming breakfast .

Close to cable car and corso umberto

Good location near main sites but next to petrol station. Good oblique view of the bay/coast. Good breakfast and very helpful staff. Parking on street. Rooms and general hotel dated however, noisy between rooms and furniture/rooms and dining space need a bit of updating.

Location is great. Hotel was fine. Hot water broke for the two days we stayed. Owner was gracious enough to refund some money for the discomfort, after we asked.Breakfast was good.

Good value single room for Taormina. Nice bathroom and balcony. Good breakfast. Near cable car to beach. 5 mins walk uphill to main town but beware traffic.

I loved the location and the staff, they were very helpful, breakfast was very good and the attention was also great. The hotel is close to funicular and downtown, they can aloso arrange for you to go to another beach and provide transportation when you go to that beach were they have a daily pass. My only disappointment was that the bathroom did not have a separate shower, it was defined by a curtain and water going to floor to a drain. Also the mattress was poor quality and the springs were old. Once they relace the mattresses I am sure the experience there will be better.

This was the second time I stayed in this hotel. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The reception area is open 24/24 so if you need anything there is always someone there to help. We left the hotel at 5:30 a.m. and they gave us breakfast even at that hour. It's a very simple hotel but perfect for people who want a clean room to sleep in after sightseeing in Sicily all day. The breakfast was good. I would stay there again on my next trip to Taormina.

Service was great, just the rooms are a little outdated, such as the bed being quite old. Overall though it was a fantastic stay!

Very nice breakfast and good coffe. Just 5-10 min wall to the mainstreets. If we are going back I will stay here again.

Best location if you have a car; it’s close to town but before you get caught in traffic messes. Discount at Lumbi parking lot, where you can get free shuttle into town. Eva will sit down with you with map of Taormina and tell you how to get around this awesome city. Room was large and clean. Excellent breakfast.

The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the hotel itself is very basic and was noisy both from road traffic and internally e.g. water systems. Our friends room shower was blocked and even after clearing drainage was very slow. The breakfast provided was, like the hotel, very basic. In reality there are no parking facilities but they have an arrangement with the multi-storey car park 5 minutes walk away although at an €8/day charge. Accessing anywhere requires a walk up a comparatively steep hill so not a good location for anyone infirmed.

The hotel is very convenient to see the town by foot. It is a 5 min walk to the center and 15 min walk to the beach (then you can go upstairs by the cable cars). They also have free parking or if you want there is also a paid one very near by (low price -8 euro per day with free shuttle to the town). The rooms are basic but has all you need for a budget hotel (we had 1 night stay). On the other side the breakfast and the staff are really amazing. The breakfast is absolutely gorges, there is really everything from sweets to fried eggs, yogurt, fruits and squeezed orange juice. They have really warm welcoming (with water, coffee or juice if you want), explain you everything you should do (with a map), where to go, where to eat for better price etc. Every advice they gave us was worth it. The owner even let me to use his lap top to print the boarding passes. Really, really nice people. I definitely recommend the hotel (if you dont expect much for the room) and warming thanks to all.

It's hard to rate this hotel, because Taormina is so different to a lot of Sicily. The same money elsewhere would get you something really nice, but in Taormina you only get 2 stars. That said it's a good two star hotel, the staff were really nice and the location was great - a short stroll up to the Main Street and 20mins walk to/from the beach (for the fit)! Breakfast was also surprisingly good.

Air conditioning could only be switched on/off manually, no temperature variation. No WLAN in the room, only in the lobby. Breackfast was good, the room itself was in the basement and only had very small windows close to the ceiling without view. The shower was dripping most of the time, the toilet needed several trials every time until it worked. The hotel was a bit off from the center, the first part was a noisy, busy street without a side walk for pedestrians. Although the staff was really friendly I would not book this hotel again. Better to spend a little bit more.

Staff was amazing. The took the time to explain exactly how to get around the city, best place to visit, and local events going on all over a coffee.The hotel seems to be family run an provides basic amenities.Morning breakfast was wonderful along with the service.Would definitely stay there again.

This hotel is just walking distance to the historic centre and hotel staff can arrange a day at the beach all inclusive for just €8!! It's very tricky to move around Taormina because it's a mountain town so this service is very convenient!! Rooms are very clean, comfy and air con is a god sent!! Staff is very friendly and helpful as well, will definitely stay here again!!

Hotel Natalina is a wonderful hotel in a lovely town. The staff are extremely friendly and will go out of their way to help their guests. When we arrive we were greeted warmly and then the young lady at the desk fixed us a coffee and a plate of tasty Sicilian pastries. The room had a small balcony and an air conditioner. The room had a blocked view of the Mediterranean. We were about a five minute walk to the historical district of Taormina and about a 20 minute walk to the beach. The breakfast buffet at Hotel Natalina was tasty and ample. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Taormina.

We vacationed with his girlfriend, purpose of the trip: the beach, the city's tourism (Catania, Taormina, Naxos Dzhaordini), shopping, Etna. Сhoice of hotel we were satisfied.

We stayed at Natalina for three nights while exploring the town of Taormina and surrounding area including Mount Etna. The hotel is located within 5 minutes walk from the old town of Taormina and is great value for money compared to the other hotels in the area that may be slightly closer to the town. For those who are fit enough to walk (uphill) for a bit, it's definitely worth the savings. The hotel itself is a bit outdated and the room is looking a little tired, but it's perfectly clean and comfortable. Our room and bathroom were cleaned to immaculate standard every day while we were out. The best thing about our stay was the hotel manager, Enzo, who has been managing Natalina for 20 years! He's a local Sicilian with the biggest heart. The Etna excursion meant we had to be at the nearby bus stop at 7am, which is located only 5 minutes walk away from the hotel. Although breakfast doesn't normally start until after 7am, Enzo was there to make sure he personally made breakfast for us at 6:30am, getting us warm bread rolls, croissants, pastries, and the best cup of cappuccino I've had in Sicily. Parking is slightly tricky as Natalina only has 3 official parking spots outside on the street, but there is plenty of street parking you can use. It was a pleasure staying at Natalina and meeting Enzo, who made it a memorable stay for us.
