We had problems and they were fabulous in helping. Room was a Jr Suite and it was large and the bathroom was great with two sinks and a tub over 6 feet long. Biggest TV in a room I have ever seen. At least 60". Good food and friendly staff. Good location but have them tell you where the garage... More

I would give this hotel 10 stars if I could! I agree with other reviews that it is tough to find as they are located in the pedestrian area. Mario found us and guided us to the parking lot and from there it was sheer bliss. Well actually not because our Hertz rental car died in the parking lot. This... More

I really wanted to love the El Jebel but a few things held me back. Of a 5-star hotel, much is expected, and for the most part, EJ delivered. The location is perfect, absolutely perfect. On the main pedestrian shopping street, Corso Umberto, and in Taormina, it doesn’t get any better than that. The downside, it was really hard to... More

Stayed here last summer for cousins wedding and the hotel has its own unique ring to it. The only thing that would make it better would be if there was a pool. Otherwise lovely had an amazing time. It was awfully hot so a pool would have been nice. Breakfast was delicious with so much variety of food The staff... More

My husband & I stayed at El Jebel for two nights and were completely blown away by the fantastic, non-stop attention and customer service. The hotel is located in the absolute PERFECT part of Taormina... Right in the center of everything and within walking distance to all... Yet high enough up, off of the street, to be away from the...

My husband and I enjoyed a 4 day break at this hotel recently. It is very small and tucked away but absolutely charming and perfectly located in the centre of Taormina. I think there are only 9 rooms, some of which are suites. We stayed in a suite which was larger than average with a fabulous bathroom - I think... More

We stayed in el Jebel at the end of our Sicily trip. We wanted something special, and were not disappointed. Location is in the heart of Taormina, next to the duomo. Interior is truly 5-star; a small number of rooms, which are all different (they showed us a couple so we could choose). Our baby of 6 months instantly loved... More
