For the price I would say it was a fair room to stay at. Plus it was really close to the tram and bus stops so easy access to the city. And the staff were very friendly.
Located just 656 feet from Messina Port, Hotel S. Elia offers spacious and elegant rooms with air conditioning. The S. Elia Hotel is decorated in a Liberty style and features antique furniture.

Domenico, Jana, and Antonella
were the most wonderful, warm hotel personnel one could ever hope for!!
From a perfect granita AND cappuccino in the morning to a spotless room with clean sheets and towels, the service was outstanding, but the personalities of these three won me over day after day!!
Arrivederci: )

Great location to visit with amazing views over the city and water. I went both up the hill/mountain to an old fort and to the Faro Torre beach which was amazing. The food was great. The city was a lot of hills if you don`t mind the light cardio you are good.

For the city itself, I had one night there and most of one day, For craft beer lovers, Beer Bang is a great place to go for choice of beer, friendly staff and atmosphere. Daytime, I saw a lot of the city but there were a couple of places that I didn't have time to visit. If I'd been there longer I would also have travelled up and down the coastline a bit more, it appears to be attractive. Ferry port/station easy to find/navigate from.

Messina has a reputation for being a 'just passing through' transit town. We stopped for just one night en-route to the north coast. The atmosphere and 'feel' of the city was easy-going and pleasant - in retrospect, we could easily have spent another night or two exploring and sight-seeing.

Messina doesn't have the legacy of architectural wonders...
Messina doesn't have the legacy of architectural wonders that its long history deserves and its most recent buildings have been built low to the ground to guard against future seismic events. That said, this is a busy, thriving port city that receives a huge number of visitors every day.
Messina's hook-shaped port is where we arrived from and it's just a short distance to Piazza del Duomo. This is the home of the Cathedral which was originally built in 12th century but reconstructed after the disasters of the first half of the 20th century. On the same square of the Cathedral is the Bell Tower.
The Bell Tower can be climbed for one of the best views of the city and beyond but there is more to it than that. Facing out from the Bell Tower is an astronomical clock with a variety of golden statues that help to tell the time in different ways. At 12:00 everyday the bells toll and the lion roars but it's really not worth the wait!
Away from roaring lions and astronomical clocks, we had some pleasant 'passeggiatas' along vast stretches of promenade.

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.

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
Fantastic and cool! The apartment is ideally located, clean, very comfortable, has everything you need and even more! The hostess is an amazing person, very welcoming, kind and responsive! Thank you very much for the wonderful days in Messina, it was amazing!!! If we have the opportunity to come to Sicily again, we will only stay in these apartments!
The property is modern with everything you need for a comfortable stay. It was spotlessly clean. Great air con. Parking right outside. Beach opposite with various bars and eateries nearby. Road to Messina centre easy to navigate. Comfortable bed. Large TV in living room and bedroom. Couldn’t ask for anything more! Great hosts - friendly and helpful.
Great location, well equipped kitchen, there was heating, which is rare in Sicily and when outside is +7 it is nice to have warm apartment and also good internet to work.
