The hotel is a couple of minutes walk, a bit uphill, from the very centre of Taormina, Porte Messina. This gave us a great view from our sea view balcony. There is a shutter which comes down at the touch of a button, which is great because otherwise, the fabulous sunshine in the mornings would have woken us at 4 am! The room was very clean, all facilities worked well and the aircon was a boon. There was a safe in the wardrobe. Fridge, stocked with some beer, soft drinks, water. Also, quite a few power points for our phones, etc. Good, basic, friendly breakfast. Helpful and knowledgeable staff in reception, which is open all hours. We would come back to Taormina again - we don't normally go back to places - and we would stay at the Condor. A very, very good week and the Condor played its part very well.
