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.

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 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.
Absolutely beautiful room, very tastefully decked out and lovely Ortigia products to use in the bathroom. Breakfast was adequate, with fresh fruit, yoghurt and bread with toaster et cetera in the kitchen. Two good coffee machines in the bedroom and kitchen. Everything was very conveniently within walking distance, including the train station. Marco very kindly met us at the train station and Emmanuel at the hotel was very helpful too. The provincial museum was extremely well designed, with a beautifully presented Caravaggio painting.
We stayed 1 night while train traveling the coast of Sicily and transfer to The mainland. This was steps away from the train station, very convenient. The room was new and very nice, communication from Sergio was very thorough to enter the building and the building was very safe. Breakfast was served in a little breakfast room and good choices. We had a good night before traveling on. We walked the area a bit in search of dinner and came upon a good sidewalk bar/ cafe in the closest square and other food choices.
FuoriSquadra was a treasure accommodation! The B&B is quiet, ideally located with an incredible view, large, modern rooms with 5 star amenities. Eva has an ample, typical Italian breakfast of an assortment of pastries, yogurt, coffee, tea and juices. The common area of the B&B is wonderfully laid out and furnished, with a huge deck looking out over the Straight of Messina. Charming, comfortable and relaxing. The decor is chic and upscale.
Not a conventional hotel, 360Me palace is a set of suites in a floor of an otherwise uninteresting building. But it was surprisingly attractive inside. Out two-room suite was huge, and very nicely and artfully appointed. "Palace" is an appropriate name, reasonably descriptive of the lavish furnishing of our room. A short walk from the cathedral.
The staff were first class. The decor and the ambience was beautiful. Very well appointed and very peaceful. Breakfast was the best we’ve had on our entire trip! The room was comfortable and had great amenities. We weren’t wanting for anything. We would highly recommend your property. It was a great way to end our holiday on Sicily.
Very good location safe and sound.. appartamento was super new I felt I was at home.. the host he kept checking up on me at least ones a day make sure I was ok and if I needed anything..
Building is very safe ++++ on site parking with a gate.
I would definitely stay next time I will visit Messina..
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.
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!
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.
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.
The hotel is close to the ferry port at Messina and a ideal place to stay. There is a secure underground carpark and the staff were friendly. The bar was nice and the breakfast delicious with a wide variety of food.
The property was very close to Central station and the port. Inside very new rooms with modern decor. Wonderful staff nothing was a trouble. I’d definitely stay here again if I came to Italy. Rosalind
Very spacious room with a beautiful view to the port of Messina. There plenty of restaurants around. The apartment was clean and tidy, the host was very nice and explained everything presently.
Almost everything. The hotel is a little gem, beautifully designed to almost the smallest detail (it's much better than it looks in the pictures). Room very clean and the staff super nice.
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.
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!
