The B&B is located in the center, near the Caronte & Tourist embarkation, the train station, the highway, the university, the city hospitals, the fair, the port, the theater, the prefecture, the police station, Via Garibaldi, and the Duomo. It's just a few steps away from the tram stop, which can take you to the Cruise Terminal, the seaport and train station, the hospital, the town hall, the province, and the police station.
It's an excellent base for visiting tourist attractions such as Taormina, the Aeolian Islands, Mount Etna, Tindari, Catania, or attending concerts or events.

What guests say
Reviews for this property are mixed. The main strengths mentioned are its central location near the train station, the convenience for exploring the city, the friendliness of the staff, and good value for money. Some guests found the rooms comfortable and clean, while others report issues with cleanliness, some rooms lacking windows, or the facilities not matching the advertised photos. The breakfast is generally basic, and ventilation or noise can be a concern in certain rooms. The property is best suited for travelers seeking a simple, affordable, and centrally located place for short stays, but it may not meet everyone's expectations.

A very economical and convenient place to stay while exploring Messina and the Capo Peloro/Torre Faro coastline. Right next to the main Messina Centrale train station,airport transfer buses, and local shuttle buses,for easy access throughout the coastline and local beaches. Shops,supermarkets and other amenities are within a few minutes' walk. It is clean and simple to access,and the proprietor is very welcoming and easily contactable for most requests.

The owner is a wonderful person, very kind and helpful. The location is excellent, close to the train station, the port and the town center. The rooms are simple but equipped with a fridge,TV and a renovated bathroom. The two balconies are enclosed within the condominium, so you can't see anything. But overall it is excellent for the location and the advantageous price. The room is simple but has all the comforts. The breakfast with packaged products and disposable cups is certainly hygienic. I would return for the owner's kindness and the optimal location.

Terrible. Do not trust because it is not a B&B. It is a garage with some spaces where they made rooms. There is no window, they left us only one towel for two people. Broken TV, bed without a nightstand and without space around, the room is too small. Do not trust the photo. The only good thing is that it is close to the station.

Money strictly in cash. Half a roll of toilet paper for 2 days and 2 people. I also paid for breakfast but upon our arrival, the lady told us it was no longer included. Quite dirty, the only positive thing is the location.

Gentile Signora, la colazione era a buffet all'ingresso del B&B e anche se non prevista Le avevo detto che poteva usufruire di tutto e le ho anche spiegato come funziona la macchina per fare il caffè. Io non capisco... . la gente che pretende l'hotel a 5 stelle perchè non prenota direttamente dove si paga 90 euro a persona e la smette di affermare cose false.

The room was a very unpleasant surprise from every point of view. Unfortunately, we were given a room without windows and without a ventilation system, consequently a bad smell of stuffiness and mold lingered in the air, and not only that, the pillows, mattress, and sheets also emitted the bad odor. The work seemed to still be in progress, with open drywall panels and holes in the bathroom walls. The aforementioned room does not appear in the presentation photos, obviously if I had seen this room in the photos, I would never have booked it. I made a video so that I cannot be told that this is a false review. Absolutely do not go there.

The room when you arrive is not what you saw. They put you in a basement converted into rooms that are small, without windows, without air conditioning, dirty, without bathroom accessories, without wardrobes or furniture, without a fridge. Negative experience, I do not recommend it at all.

The answer from the host:
La camera è provvista di bagno interno mancava solamente il sapone liquido per le mani che poi è stato fornito ma c'erano le asciugamani e il fono per asciugarsi i capelli. Non capisco quali accessori mancavano. La camera non era sporca ma è stata accuratamente pulita. Se mancavano gli armadi o suppellettili era dovuto al fatto che la camera è stata ristrutturata recentemente e non si è avuto il tempo di arredarla alla perfezione. Inoltre, vi era il ventilatore a soffitto e si stava benissimo. Io credo che, mentre le altre strutture chiedevano prezzi esorbitanti per la sera del concerto di Vasco Rossi, con un prezzo irrisorio di 25 euro a persona, non si può pretendere un hotel a 5 stelle. Per una sera a cosa serve un armadio? Meglio risparmiare no?

Attention, a room is offered with the charm of a storage room, wildly mixed furniture covered with thick plastic sheets. Everything smells excessively of cleaning products. The balcony is full of the accommodation's laundry, an old mattress covers half of the window. The breakfast consists of a "buffet" of old cookies, cornflakes on a completely dirty sideboard, better to go to the café around the corner. Parking is difficult, but it can be done. Better to use the paid parking nearby.

The answer from the host:
Si capisce che la critica è stata fatta tanto per criticare. Una camera con letto a baldacchino che piace alla maggioranza degli ospiti, grande e spaziosa viene definita "ripostiglio". Il detergente di solito fà profumo non puzza. L'espressione "I mobili mescolati" fa solo ridere e l'altro asserito è tutto falso. Parcheggiare è difficile dovunque, ma si può fare, basta avere un pò di pazienza.

It is a Bed and Breakfast and you should not expect more than that. Manager extremely kind, possibility to use the fridge and kitchen, essential but positive breakfast. Do not expect princely rooms but only a comfortable and cheap place to sleep and feel almost at home. For me, excellent value for money.
