The location was within walking distance to the train station and sightseeing. The front desk staff was very helpful as we arrived before the room was ready. WE were able to leave our bags while we did some sightseeing and when we returned, our bags had been delivered to the room.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, they provided us with all the information to get the most of the city. The room was very comfortable and well equipped. Having breakfast served at the second floor with a beautiful view of the city is a plus. The property is in a great location at walking distance from the historic center of Messina.

Unaware that ferry arrival at almost midnight was at a cargo terminal, miles from anywhere, no taxis but helped by kind crew member. Nervous as solo traveller but most accommodating receptionist guided me by phone into stay. Tramline on waterfront easy access to station.
Only stopping point to Palermo - can’t judge attractions.

Messina is a pretty city in a beautiful spot that is off the radar for most travelers.
The cathedral, rebuilt after the 1908 earthquake, is beautiful, with Byzantine mosaics in the apses that miraculously survived. The clock tower mechanical clock is spectacular even though it only operates once a day.
The regional museum is full of treasures that were salvaged from churches destroyed in the earthquake. The highlights are two Caravaggios and an Antonello da Messina triptych.
Interestingly, Messina appears not to promote itself. The tourist office seemed to always be closed. I ended up asking in shops what sights to see, how to get to them on busses, and for restaurant recommendations. Locals were very glad to help me with that information.

we stayed 4 nights, allowing enough time t spend in Messina as well as use it as a base to travel to other Sicily locations. it had great walkability although the sidewalks/curbs were a little challenging with a suitcase. the noon Duomo show was definitely a highlight

The town is Ok for a day & night.
The town is Ok for a day & night. The cathedral at 12pm is the biggest thing in town and it is worth a look for the curious. Note all the bars around the square have a surcharge just to sit down - which they don't advertise. Try the Sri Lankan restaurants around town, delicious food at a great price.

we only stayed 3 nights, the area we stayed was very busy not far from ferry crossings. We visited Taormina and Cefalu, 2 nearby cities. Didn't get to see much of Messina itself. Did visit beach which was very nice.

Messina doesn't have a lot of attractions - the Camponile was interesting to see at midday, as well as the Norman cathedral, for which you could really see the Mudejar influence - something I found surprising for Italy.
OTOH, it also means there were fewer tourists about, which suited us to a tee.
If you are into hiking, it looks like the mountains above the city would have some nice trails with views out over both the Ionian and Tyrrhenian seas.
The space is a straight path from Messina station. Takes about 20-25 minutes walking or you can take a bus or tram to Don Oriole stop. It's a great value and you can see other parts of city. There's also a grocery store 5 minutes away. The room also has air conditioning which is highly appreciated.
Paolo is an attentive host. He's interested in ensuring you have a good stay and it's working hard to upgrade his space. I felt very welcomed in his home.
Amazing location, close to the beach, supermarket right across the street, couple of food points close by, bus stop also in 2 min walk.
As of the accommodation itself, very comfortable checking procedure, lovely and helpful hosts. Room itself was super cute and cozy, had everything you could think of and probably even more. Big bonus is a bathtub as well. Great value for this price. Will totally visit again if in Messina
My host Carmelo,was very attentive and kind. He went out of his way to assist me in finding a clinic in Messina,Sicily where I could get a Covid Molecular test in order to board my flight back to Montreal,Canada! The bed was very comfortable and the Air Conditioning functioned well. I had a fresh espresso coffee awaiting me both mornings I stayed there! Grazie Carmelo! Concetta dal 🇨🇦
Staff met me at check-in and was helpful and personable. I had a great room with a perfect balcony. The room was HUGE and covered with dramatic murals of the history of Sicily. Bed was large and fairly comfy. Lots of fancy furniture . Good location. Just 2 turns from train station down a long Main Street. Walking distance to shopping and cafes and grocery. Quiet and calm area
the staff went above and beyond in hospitality. the staff waited for us outside the building, that made us very easy to identify the exact location and check in. the room is high ceiling, modern and spacious. location is very good, close to the shopping, restaurants area and not far from train station. I highly recommend this hotel and have no hesitation to stay here again.
It's a 10-15 minute walk from Messina Central station. You have to communicate your arrival time especially if you arrive late or very early because there's no reception. The big door is locked and you cannot get inside without contacting the owner. The room we have is spacious, clean and has a private bathroom. The view on the terrace that I love.
The apartment is very beautiful and interesting. it was very cozy and comfortable to spend two days in Messina. The apartment is located near the train station, the port and the center ... super location. I want to say a special thank you to the owner of the apartment for his kindness and hospitality👍😉
The room is big. pacing the University. we were on a holiday, so there was no traffic at all. All things to see in Messina are within walking distance. Room is. big and clean with a big window. Great Aronchini Restaurante just under the hotel.
rooms are clean and spacious, all needed furniture, wall sockets etc. are available, good breakfast, very friendly staff - they pay attention to customers and take time to care about them, free parking at the front of the hotel
Quick and smooth check-in. Balcony with view over the port and strait. Very convenient for Messina Centrale station and many nearby points of interest and places to eat. Comfortable bed, clean bathroom.
The property was our choice because of the private garage offered - parking is quite a problem in Messina so this point is very important. The room was very comfortable indeed.
Great communication from our host prior to and on arrival. Well equipped accommodation close to the city centre, port and train station. Ideal for a short stay in Messina.
The staff was very nice but there was a big noise in the morning because they are repairing something at the hotel so it was impossible to rest the way we wanted/ planed to.
