Good selection for breakfast, room was nice and spacious and staff were pleasant and co-operative. As a location was easy to find and check in instructions were clear.
On arrival there were lots of mosquitos in my room. the shower was nice but not configured well. Sprays directly at shower door and short people whould struggle with this however there is also hand shower.

The host allowed us to leave our luggage before check-in which was very helpful. The rooms were spacious, elegantly decorated with very large bathrooms. The location, just 10 minutes walk from the railway station, close to the Duomo and a tram stop, was excellent. A very good breakfast was provided the next day.
There was a smell of sewage in one of the bathrooms and lingering smells of tobacco smoke in both rooms. Otherwise we were very pleased with the accommodation, service and location.

Very clean, comfortable and easy position not far from ferry terminal and train station
Check if your room is in the hotel or apartments next door, both are perfectly fine, but you might prefer one over the other in terms of room space. We didn't realise, but were happy with the apartment.
4.5
Messina in general was a surprise packet, so to find great accommodation was a real bonus. We stayed here on arrival to Messina, and this was a return visit as we changed plans at the end of our stay in Sicily. Really comfortable & spacious room - noting we stayed in the adjourning apartments, not the hotel we stayed in the first time. It was no problem at all though to have breakfast in the hotel, rather than the self serve option in the apartments - but this is completely satisfactory.
This is minor, but In the apartments you need 3 keys to access your room, whereas the hotel security is all via entry codes, which we found handy, especiallyif you're doing a few things separately. . Overall though this wasn't a huge issue.

Great location. Very clean and well kept. Rosa was extremely helpful and patient in explaining things.
The only “worrying” thing was how noisy the bathroom pump was. It sounded like the whole wall was about to collapse every time the washroom was used.

Close enough to the entre whilst away enough to be quite at night. Beautiful Room and good breakfast.
Not much

What a little gem of a hotel with a great location 5mins walk from Train/Ferry port and 5 mins to the main square with plenty of places to eat and drink.
Staff were super helpful and whilst I was embarrassed to not speak Italian their English was perfect.
Can't recommend the hotel and the staff enough!!

Beautiful B&B, everything perfect!
4.5
I booked this room just for one night as I had an early ferry to the islands so I wasn't expecting much. However, I was really impressed by the double showers and by how comfy the beds were and loved the sea view. The location was perfect as this B&B is only 10 minutes from the train station and 5 minutes from the port. I loved the nearby restaurant recommended by the B&B.
As I couldn't stay for breakfast I really appreciated the complimentary tea/coffees available at reception. I did grab a croissant at 7.30 when the breakfast room opened.
The larger rooms are on the second and there is no lift. This wasn't much of an inconvenience as I had a light case and the lady at reception offered to carry it upstairs.
4.5
Staff so kind, caring and very professional.
The room was perfect and very clean. Nice decoration and comfortable. The place is great also with a small child.
I will definitely go back when I stay in Messina.
