The location is quite good,we can reach all main sights of Messina by walking. The rooms and very cosy and decorated is a chic style. I really love the interior decoration style of this hotel. From the window of our room,we can see the landmark of Messina La Madonnina del Porto.
Relax in the spacious, comfortable rooms of Hotel Royal Palace, set just 328 feet from Messina train station and the ferries to the Italian mainland and the Eolian Islands.

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.
Wow this apartment is attractive inside and incredibly well equipped. The owner has thought of everything. It is often the little things that make the difference. The breakfast biscuits and cakes / pastries and coffee were all so welcome. The bed was super comfortable. The location was a bit of a trek and not in the best area however it was worth it for me as it was good value for money and was such a comfortable stay. If you have to stay in Messina, this is definitely worth considering. Grazie di tutto!
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 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
What a pleasant surprise! I had no expectation, just booked a hotel within 15 minutes walking distance from the place I was sitting and it was a really hidden gem. Very clean, relatively quiet street close to the city center and also a DIY breakfast was included in the price - what else do you need for a 1 day stay?
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!!
Several breakfast items were provided - e.g., lots of fresh yogurts - and the coffee was quite good. The location was opposite one of Messina's ferry terminals, which I was hoping to use to visit Italy, the toe of the boot. My son and I were within walking distance of many other interesting activities.
The location was good, very central. The room was a good size, liked having a small fridge in the room. The staff were very helpful and they found somewhere safe for us to store our bicycles as we were touring Sicily on bikes. Liked the terrace too.
There is a beautiful view from this hotel overlooking the sea in one direction and the hills behind. A nice garden area with pool gives the feeling of a small resort.
The location of the hotel is awesome. I literally stayed in the best neighborhood of Messina. It is very easy to arrive there from the Messina Centrale train station.
Great location in beautiful Messina, quiet but also conveniently in the centre.
Wonderful room and the best host you could wish for.
Loved every second of our stay!
The hotel was clean and modern and reception Mr Giovanni was so helpful and kind.
Everything was perfect!
However you should aware messina isn’t a tourist place.
the hotel is within walking distance of everything in Messina. it’s extremely clean, the bed is very comfortable, the staff is very friendly and helpful.
A very friendly and helpful staff, easy parking, great breakfast, and good location make this hotel a pleasing choice for Messina! We'd stay here again.
