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.
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.
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
We reserved a Humongous apart-hotel room which exceeded our expectations for its size, luxury, and details. Truly a lovely studio space, perfect for our needs (we wanted to hear up meals and make our own coffee and tea).
The receptionist was the Most lovely person we met in Sicilia!! Not just professional but also attention to details and our needs, flexible and warm, friendly. We give her 10/10!
Beautifully designed hotel with the wonderful mix of history and contemporary design. Excellent shower and comfortable bed. For us it was an opportunity for quiet relaxation before heading back to North Italy. We were given excellent advice on restaurants, cafes and significant places of interest to visit. Kind and thoughtful hospitality from the people running the hotel.
The host and his family were amazing. We arrived in Messina on the day of a huge concert, and there were no cabs available. The host drove to us at the ferry station on his scooter, helped us find the tram, drove alongside the tram, and had his wife meet us at the tram stop to take us to the B&B. They were so kind, and we remain so grateful. The room was fantastic too!
The apartment is very clean and organized. It's beautifully decorated and in a very good area of Messina. 5 min walk to the center and quiet at night. I ended up staying longer because I had a great time and Antonio the owner was always helpful and polite! He suggested activities and helped me go around the city. Super recommended!! 10/10
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
High quality furnishings, luxurious sheets & bath sheet towels, very nice breakfast selection with very fresh coretti, fresh fruit, variety of juices, several kinds of coffee. It was within walking distance of major sights. Messina surprised us with the cleanliness of the city.
It was really amazing, a bit more expensive than other places in Messina but definitely worth it. There is a huge TV in room with literally everything (netflix, disney plus, youtube) and the room is very clean. It genuinely look like a hotel room, would definitely recommend it!
Great place to stay while visiting Messina. Location was so close to everything and at the same time in quite area. Host was really friendly and helpful any time I needed something :).
Really recomended if you wanna visit Messina :)
The room was very clean and comfortable. The view from the balcony is also amazing! The owner told me amazing stories about the building and the city! He also recommended great things to do in Messina.
Everything- it is a quality hotel for a great price - located close to train station (5 minute walk), clean large room with friendly staff and a great breakfast!
The Hotel and rooms are extraordinary!
The service is incredible and the staff is extremely nice and helpfull. I felt at home and will be coming back for sure!
