“Not Royal & NOT a Palace. Very expensive!”

눉This square block building looks like it was built in the 1960's with decor to reflect the glory days of travel circa 1910. However, whatever era it was built in it has not been decorated since. It is filthy, dull & dingy. The bar service is pathetic and so were the serving staff on both nights'. The breakfast 'service' is even worse. I have never waited so long for coffee on a morning. The same woman both mornings messes about making sure the cheese display is straightly aligned or the jam looks nice! I counted nine tables of people at breakfast but only 2 tables had coffee, the rest of us kept asking for it politely? Italy runs on coffee so this was incomprehensible. If this hotel was cheap i.e. 1/2 the price then it would be OK for £35-40 but it's actually very expensive. It has never been Royal and it's certainly not a Palace.
눇The location near the ferries in order to leave quickly.

“Old-decorated hotel in the heart of Messina”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The hotel needs re-decoration, mainly the bathrooms. We had to ask for towels, which is not ok for an expensive hotel. The parking entrance is really low (less than 1.70m height), so we had to remove the antenna from our car to enter.
눇Nice hotel in the heart of Messina. Comfort bed, perfect to rest after touring around. Private parking. Nice breakfast with many choices.

“Very Convenient, Very Basic: Good Base to Explore Sicily”

눉Air conditioning and internet Wi-Fi / barely functional. Hotel is in need of some real love...
눇After a long day aboard trains and ferries, you want to be able to find your hotel – fast – and collapse. I’ll give Hotel Royal Palace an “A” for convenience: a straight shot / 10 minute walk (or less) from Messina’s main ferry port, right in the center of Messina’s old-town port. The glorious cathedral is 10 minutes away, and there are several nice, simple local bars and restaurants around. The hotel is popular with members of the military, police and transportation workers. It’s functional but not fancy. Everything could use a coat or two of paint, but it’s clean and possessed of a friendly staff. But, don’t expect room service, and don’t expect 4 star luxury. There is no pool, and the gym is better in photos than in reality. Also, the Internet and Air Conditioning are both “promised” to be fully functional and strong. However, neither are. Plus, although it says it is offered, there is no laundry service (that WAS a disappointment since we had a week’s worth of clothes we were counting on getting refreshed). The best part: the breakfast – one of the biggest and most complete buffets we’ve yet seen to start the day. If your goal is to find a “base camp” for Sicily exploring, “Hotel Royal” Palace works fine. We did day trips to Stromboli and Taormina, so up early and out the door worked great. The central train station is, literally, just cattycornered from the Hotel Royal Palace. Strobomoli is a 90 minute hydrofoil cruise away (go in the morning, swim and come back at night) and Taormina – perhaps Sicily’s most beautiful and historic town – is a 30 minute train ride. Truly, you cannot visit Messina and not take in the remarkable Greco-Roman theatre at the summit of Taormina. Messina is a gritty yet welcoming city. Under the graffiti and grime, there’s a lot of charm, and a rich history. We happened upon an outdoor commemoration about the Battle of Lepanto, whose ships sailed from Messina in the 1500s. Fascinating.

눉Hotel suffers from benign neglect; needs major upgrades. Pictures shown on website do not reflect the real condition of the property. Underground parking ramp is at 45 degree angle with low overhang; getting in and out is a real adventure - especially with a stick shift!

눉a restaurant at the hotel would have been fabulous
눇Location was great so near the train and bus station but not noisy at all. Very comfortable and clean and staff friendly and helpful. We were hungry earlier than is normal to eat in Italy so could not find a restaurant that was open. Had to have snack and ice cream instead.

“Suprise”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room

눉Car park is free but has a 1.65m height restriction, also very steep entry so low laying cars could have an issue. Uses scrapped on exhaust but got in ok.
눇This hotel is far better then its given. Its dated but clean tidy and very professional staff. Stayed in 5 star hotels far worse than this hotel. We came of the ferry at 11:30pm had no issues checking in and getting a cold beer.
