Hostel Taormina

Friendly and laid-back, this year-round hostel occupies a house with pretty tiled floors and a roof terrace commanding panoramic sea views. It's a snug, homey set-up with accommodation in three brightly coloured dorms and one private room. Facilities are basic but the owners are helpful and there's a small communal kitchen for DIY catering. Locks are also provided for the lockers.
