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.
Set in Messina center, Hotel Touring is next to the train station and 10 minutes' walk from the harbor. It offers reading and TV lounges, a bar and air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi.

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.

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.
Really liked this place and its friendly hostess. It's very quiet, surrounded by nature, with beautiful overgrown lemon garden. The room is basic but very stylish and has everything that you'll need - good bed, AC, bathroom. I didn't remember the last time I slept so well!
The hostess, Dina, is a great conversation partner and showed us around the garden and village. On top of that we've got a bunch of recommendations for best places in Sicily. Thanks again!
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!
This was an excellent find. My last backpacking night in Sicily decided to splash out a bit more on accommodation. €40 ish (which is a lot out of my daily budget) Roberto the host was more than perfect. The location was perfect. The room was perfect. Another 30 so days travelling around Italy and I hope to find similar accommodation. Thank you Roberto. John.
Super cute decorated, nice balconies, comfortable beds, kitchen and apartment with all needed for a couple of days, private parking. Hosts were very nice and accommodating. Also good closets. Location is not center of Messina but we didn't need that and everything is near anyway.
Thanks again Denise and husband!
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.
We stayed as an overnight stopover. The property is super clean, breakfast was good and substantial. The room was a good size and very clean. The host was great as he waited for us as he had an issue with the ferry coming from Calabria. Close to Messina city centre if you have a car.
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.
Beautifully decorated spacious property in great location. Katia waa a great host. Provided plenty of breakfast supplies for our 3 day stay. Couldn’t have asked for a better property in Messina and great value for money for our small family.
Francisco is a fabulous host, very personable, friendly and helpful. There are only two rooms, so it feels like you are staying with family. Great value in an awesome location, close enough to Messina, but out in the country by the sea.
Location near to the train station, staff spoke English, small balcony for breakfast, full set of toiletries, we were allowed to check-in really early (really appreciated), they sent me a proper invoice (not very common in Sicily :-/)
Very spacious with a fabulous terrace and views across the Strait of Messina. Location was perfect and the hosts were very accessible and knowledgeable about the region. Great food provisions and information about getting around.
All was magnificent I went to this hotel with my father.
We did a bike trip of all Sicily and we had amazing support from staff.
All the amenities were in perfect shape and all good for a visit to this city.
100% recommended
Very spacious and well appointed property. The view of the Straits of Messina and the water traffic was breathtaking. The property was very clean and our host supplied us with the ingredients for a light breakfast.
Quick and smooth check-in. Balcony with view over the port and strait. Very convenient for Messina Centrale station and many nearby points of interest and places to eat. Comfortable bed, clean bathroom.
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.
the host is really nice, likes to give very good and honest tipps where to go and what to do, also the B&B is in a very safe part of messina, theres a supermarket right nearby
close to port and train station. clean and comfortable. our host assisted with restaurant reservations. exceptional and highly recommended when in Messina
