Have to pay for coffee even if breakfast included
The hotel is very high on the hill. The rooms are very old fashioned style. Shower very bad. Ran out of hot water and had no pressure. Pool closes at 7 pm. They Charged for coffee for included breakfast, which is weird in Italian culture.

AMAZING hotel with amazing service!
Everything about our stay at Hotel Sole Costello was great! I can't say enough about how friendly the staff was - from check-in, to breakfast every morning, and especially to the poolside bartender in the afternoon! Some of the negative reviews we had read prior to our trip mentioned that the rooms didn't have air conditioning in June, but that was absolutely not the case! Our room had central air that kept the room feeling great and was constantly operating (as long as the balcony door was closed). From our experience, the negative reviews saying that the rooms were hot or full of mosquitos were absolutely unfounded. Quick note about traveling into downtown Taormina - there are two staircases that lead from the hotel directly down into the city center, and the front desk staff gave us very clear directions when we checked in about how to access each staircase and which one to use at night, etc. It was an easy walk down (taking about 15 - 20 minutes by the time we stopped to admire the amazing views), but it could definitely be a challenge to walk up the stairs at the end of a long day of sight-seeing! Luckily the city bus (stops are labelled "Fermata") stopped right at the front door of the hotel! The name of the stop is Madonna della Rocca and there is a bus schedule posted right in the lobby for easy reference. All in all - a truly amazing hotel and great way to experience everything that Taormina has to offer!!!

Friendly staff - basic room
Hotel reception areas were in good condition with friendly and helpful staff. My room however, was very basic and outdated with cracked plaster and cracked tiles in the bathroom. That bathroom was small with a small shower. The doors are also paper-thin so could hear everything in the hallway. Was fine for a few nights (shorter stay) though.

Good enough at a affordable price level
We went to Taormina for a nice getaway. The hotel has a price level that you can afford and it does show in certain areas. + The view is amazing + Friendly and service-oriented staff with good english + Very calm - The hotel is located almost at the very top of the mountain. I would not recommend the hotel if you do not have a car. It will either cost you around 15 euro to get up the hill, or you will have a tough exercise - We had the dinner/buffet one night for 20 euro and it is a rip-off - Breakfast is the same every morning and not a very good. Decent at its best Regardless of the cons, I would recommend it if you are looking at something affordable at a pricey destination. Manage your expectations and do not expect to check-in at a high-end hotel.

Great staff, great pool, great views dated room.
Last minute booking due to flight being cancelled and found the cheapest one with a pool. Located right at the top of the hill which gives the most stunning views. Internally it requires a full refurbishment which is a shame as the staff so friendly and helpful. The pool area was stunning and perfect to sunbath and swim. It’s cheap and the reason is it’s dated inside. If they could invest it would be well worth more. If you’re on a budget and happy to walk for 15 mins (it’s a lot of steps) and want a pool then this place is perfect. Great breakfast.

Sleepless in Sicily
View is amazing, but I had a terrible night's sleep. There is no air conditioning in the rooms - which in Sicily in th summer means a sleepless night. The doors open on to the balcony with an amazing view, which I had to keep open throughout the night. This means that you can hear everything from the other rooms. It also means Mosquitos swarm onto the room, meaning that you have the choice of closing the doors and cooking to death, or opening them and being eaten alive - the choice is yours. I also asked for an iron so I could wear a nice shirt on my birthday. They said they didn't provide this service for 'safety reasons' (it seemed like I'd gone and asked to use a flamethrower to get rid of the creases in my shirt). So instead I had to turn the shower on hot and leave my shirt in a makeshift steam room and waste 15 minutes worth of water, but at least I was safe from a potential iron apocalypse. I can't fault the staff - they were friendly, but the hotel is lacking so much. It needs to be refurbished, or at the very least have fans provided in the room. You should also bring some ropes and climbing equipment, as you need to scale a small mountain to get to the town - but great views and exercise!

The hotel has a lovely view overlooking Taormina. It's quite a hike from the centre so you'll have to use the local bus to get to places.

Amazing view!
The hotel was very comfortable and the staff very helpful but by far the best thing about this hotel is the amazing view of Taormina and Etna. To wake up to Etna every morning took my breath away. I would stay here again for that alone.

Good budget hotel
Great location if you want the views of Taormina and convenient bus access. My only 2 complaints- staff would not allow outside food/drink in the hotel, and the air conditioning was only on in the rooms certain hours, so many times the room was slightly uncomfortably hot. However, the room was very clean and in a safe area.
