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.

Messina was really just a jumping onto Sicily spot where I met up with friends coming from other locations. great for our trip to Lipari, otherwise I would not have stayed three days.
There were good restaurants and some not so good so always look at the menus first. and check open times, there is no such thing as a late lunch as they all close by about 2.30pm
Interesting history and buildings.
Just explore, you will find hidden treasures.
Big cruise ships stop here so the city can get very busy.

Visiting Etna was great.
Visiting Etna was great. It’s about 1.5 hrs away Nothing open on a Monday so walking around town was a bit of a waste. There really is not much to see. Taormina which is about 45 minutes away is the place to spend your time.
The place was truly amazing, the best part was the shower because it is so big and modern, the bed was great, there was a huge TV for relaxing a little bit. Messina was mich cleaner than Palermo and Catania, I really recommend it for a relaxation destination, the best were Torre di Faro with gorgous beaches and the main church where you can see a spectacular show every day at 12:00. The owner was great, he gave us advice where to eat well, see things and he had some cuddly cats which we just adored. This place is purrfect for cat lovers.
The most welcoming and pleasant people in Aialnesh and her family.
The apartment is fully equipped, so you can, cook, wash, dishwash, chill out in spacious accomodation, and with an astonishing view over Messina Strait from the terrace.
After getting aqauinted with Messina, you have all possibility to reach rest of Sicily by public transport (I did Palermo and Taormina by train).
When ever the smallest of questions Aialnesh and her family were quick in answering.
We are a family of four and only in Messina for one night, but the hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The air conditioning, shower and WiFi worked great. Everything was clean. There is a common area for guests that has a microwave, hot water kettle, coffee maker and freshly baked cake. Breakfast with Marianna was great too! We arrived around 8pm with a car and found a spot on the street close by.
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.
Great Period Hotel in excellent City Location. Staff were always helpful and ready to assist us. Only blemish, is the size of the shower (very small) but this is common in Sicily. However Sicily is now the new “Go to Destination” in Europe, if not on the planet, so larger showers would be a wonderful and welcome addition for future visitors from all over the world.
It’s located in the heart of the historical city ofMessina. The street gives directly to the center of the city and is at few steps from the beach.
The rooms are beautiful with a lot of historical and art designs. Excellent personnel and I really loved everything about this place.
The also help by offering guides on touristic sites during your stay.
It was easy to get to from the Messina Central train station, approx. 15 minute walk. It was in a fantastic area to see the most recommended sights. The room was elegant, very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was simple yet delicious and their was a very nice man there to make your coffee wishes come true! Self check-in is always a plus.
Above all we stayed with two lovely people for a week in their old farmhouse and orchard up in the hills above Messina.
Friendly, helpful, they made us feel very welcome.
Good breakfasts to start the day before we took off to explore the bird life. And delicious dinners! What wonderful fish. And endless cups of good Italian coffee
Perfect place to stay in Messina, the room is perfect and so roomy, the bed is so comfortable the bathroom is beautiful and the balcony is a must. Everything is very clean. The location is ideal to visit the city, easily accessible from the train/bus station and the host is very friendly and helpful. Thank you so much.
The hotel is very comfortable. The staff were helpful. When we checked in we were given recommendations for two nice restaurants. We tried one the first night. It was excellent. The second one we were unable to get into because we didn't have a reservation. I would highly recommend this hotel.
I was able to check in at night after ferry arrival.
The breakfast display was the best we've seen in Italy. So many items: pane, canolis, cereals, eggs, bacon, juices, fruits sliced, nuts, toast, granita, meats and cheeses, etc.
Location near train station.
It was a great stay, clean and tidy room, and the location is central. I am really satisfied and my family is happy. The rooms were great and the food was as expected! I would advise everyone coming to Messina to stay at this place!!
Fabio the host was very friendly, the room was clean and new. comfortable bed and big bath room.
the location is 2 min walk from the main cathedral and we found public parking next to the hotel
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.
Was good, similar to most Italian hotel breakfasts. Did get freshly squeezed orange. Lovely. Staff, although not fluent in English did their best . Very friendly.
Very stylish boutique hotel with all you need for your stay. Breakfast was excellent on the roof top. Staff is really friendly and welcoming. 100% recommended!
