Guest Reviews
Location
Reviews frequently highlight the hotel's excellent positioning that offers unobstructed sea views from many rooms and the breakfast area. The strategic location not only makes it well-suited for exploring local attractions but also provides a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of Taormina's central areas. With easy parking available, it’s particularly beneficial for travelers with cars.
However, reaching the center of Taormina can be challenging, especially on foot due to the steep paths or the need for a 20 to 30-minute uphill walk. Some guests found the distance from Taormina’s main hub less convenient, noting that the geographical location was different from advertised in some cases.
Overall, Hotel Corallo offers a tranquil stay with beautiful sea views and convenient transport links, making it a good choice for those looking to explore the area while enjoying a quiet seaside location.

In addition, the rooms themselves were often reported to be small and this cramped feeling was exacerbated by the positioning of the beds. While some guests appreciated the friendly and welcoming staff, they noted that extra amenities like English TV channels and tea/coffee making facilities were lacking, leaving some aspects of the stay wanting.
Overall, while some guests had a comfortable stay with clean and well-maintained bedding, others were significantly displeased by the uncomfortable, outdated mattresses and pillows.
