Guest Reviews

• Ludovica (8/5): Very good -
• Pamela (7/5): Good -
• Evis (10/5): It was exellent - The location and the staff Every thing was good
• Jiri (5/5): Passable - Accomodation is in the center. All monuments, are nearby.. The room is poorly equiped and some parts were destroyed. Specificaly toalet and shower cubicle.
• Jeremy (9/5): Superb - Amazing location close to the duomo and not far from the port! Staff went above and beyond to help me out getting into the room!
• Martha (9/5): We will definitely visit again, the location was fantastic - It was quiet, very central, parking on the street was easy and Gwendolina was a delight The first room was unsuitable, but this was fixed immediately
• Al-khazaleh (7/5): Good -
• Emanuele (7/5): Comfortable central place where to spend a night or two - In the very centre of Messina, opposite to the Duomo. The host was nice and gave us loads of info about the town. Definitely recommended! It would have been nice to have shampoo and shower products. Despite this, truly a great place!
• Alison (8/5): A nice room if you don't need a fridge - The room was lovely and the location was great. We didn't like that it didn't have a fridge when it was advertised as having one. The view of the duomo was actually the view of a tree that blocked the view to the duomo. The shower was awful - luke warm at best. The included breakfast is at a cafe that doesn't have it's hours on Google - goodness knows when it opened, we missed our included breakfast.

• Kristaps (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect central location, clean, comfortable, good price. And quiet despite central location. Shower was a bit strange (no doors?).
• Geltrude (1/5): A nightmare - Absolutely nothing! I didn’t manage to have breakfast and I wouldn’t have sat down since the smell was disgusting on the whole floor. It was a nightmare. The sewage smell, the little mosquitos in the room coming out,I believe , from the drainage pipes of the bathroom that weren’t covered. I had to stay with the balcony open all night because of the smell and got sick! The property is in a main plaza over a cafe, people talking all night. Didn’t manage to sleep at all. It was a very windy night and the balcony doors, that are falling apart, kept on banging. I came back after just leaving the luggage late in the evening and there was no hot water! That’s when I lost it and started writing to the property, the owner Guendalina, ignored my messages and in the morning said she could give me another room. First I was there only for one night, ( that shows how much she knew about the people she had in the property) then second and third would that give me hot water or stop the smell on the whole floor? So she said she would refund the stay. I said I would appreciated the gesture but still no money in my account. So not only the property is a fraud, she is too!
• Ferris (9/5): Messina so much nicer than I thought, and the B&B certainly helped. - So close to main square. Guy on desk happy to talk to me in Italian - better than immediately switching to English. I need the practice! No storing luggage after official check-out. Offered, but liable to have no-one to answer the door.
• Malene (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice area, the room was good and the balconies were amazing. Close to many things and a nice breakfast just around the corner.
• Viktoria (8/5): Very good - Location
• Svetlana (8/5): Very good -
• Ejona (10/5): Exceptional - The property was really beautiful and clean. The location was perfect and the host was so friendly. She let us do the check in three hours before the time of the check in for free.
• Kaia (6/5): Pleasant -
• Mohanty (8/5): Very good -
• James (6/5): Great location - Location is great, convenient to train station and next to the main cathedral. Staff was nice and allowed for early check-in. Beds are comfortable. Shower is in need of maintenance, it has very poor water spray. Some of the windows were difficult to close properly and are in need of maintenance. The booking.com description needs to be updated, there is no coffee in the room and breakfast is not served in the room. A coupon for breakfast is provided for a local coffee shop. The coffee shop was nice but only pastries were available.
• Christine (7/5): Old world charm in central Messina - Generously sized room with balcony. Recently renovated bathroom. Central location in pedestrian zone within easy walking distance of the cathedral square. Polite, friendly staff. A lot of street noise on a Saturday night, lasting well into the early hours of the morning. Also, breakfast was not served at the property itself but at a nearby cafe a short walk away.
• Belete (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kotryna (9/5): Superb - The room location is perfect, you can see cathedral from your window, all oldtown is in walkable distance from there. Room itself is spacious, elegant and stylish, has refrigerator and fully equipped bathroom. Breakfast were given at nearby cofe, just around the corner, you have to walk around 5min. Breakfast meniu is short: you can choose type of coffee and flavor of granita. Granita comes with brioche. The room itself doesn't have any type of dishes or glasses, even plastic ones.
• Concetta (5/5): Good Deal,but you get what you pay for! - The room was clean and close to everything Central. The WIFI was awful! I had to get up at least 4-5 times to restart it!🤯🤬
• Avril (8/5): Very good -
• Michal (8/5): Very good -
• Cantara (6/5): Pleasant - Good location. Ambience inside is not very nice, especially in the hallway. Lack of other facilities (ex. coffee machine/ kettle)
• Igor (10/5): Exceptional - Location is basically in the city center, when you go out of the building you're there. Everything is clean and you have everything you need. It can be noisy because of the parties in the street since it's city center.
• Bilal (9/5): Superb - Location the spacious room Wifi is not working in the room
• Alessandra (9/5): Nice bed without breakfast in a beautiful place - Perfect location! My window was overlooking the piazza del Duomo. Staff was very accomodating and friendly. Provide a breakfast .... B&B means bed and breakfast ...
• Raewyn (9/5): Superb - Very friendly staff, great location. Historic building Air conditioner dripped but not a big problem
• Wendy (9/5): Superb -
• Helen (7/5): Good - Excellent location,near everything
• Verri (9/5): Good bed good location - Location was amazing, right beside the main square. Bed was comfortable and bathroom was clean and easy to use. In general really nice place and staff The fridge was not working
• Martijn (7/5): Good - The room is really good! Nice and clean and amazing beds. The host is really nice and what an amazing place!!!! The breakfast is awful.. You get a ticket for the café next to the building only a coffee and a crossaint. The crossaint was afwul..and the people are not nice.. im sorry..
• Mihaela (10/5): Great place in the heart of the city - It was in the midle of the city life, great restaurants right under the balcony. Really nice room and helpful host. The water program we didn't took into consideration.
• Mauro (10/5): Marvelous place - Supernice place, just in front of the magnificent Cathedral, a big room with A/C, fridge, comfortable bed, fast wifi, nice staff, a big bathroom. The building, the rooms, are nice, but they lack a bit of maintenance
• Nathy (8/5): Very good -
• Katarzyna (8/5): Very good - Great location, very nice host gave us good food tips, we could leave our luggage in storage for a couple of hours
• Diana (10/5): Lovely BnB next to the Duomo. Helpful and responsive staff, lovely spacious room in a beautiful city. - Great location, spacious room, clean modern decor. Helpful responsive staff.
• Kathy (8/5): Very good -
• Jenny (9/5): Superb - The bed was most comfortable I've had through Sicley. Lovely furnishings. Would have liked a couple of glasses and some water in fridge.
• Nicolás (10/5): Fantastic option in the city center. - The room was very spacious, as well as the bathroom. Everything was very clean. The reception was amazingly friendly and full of good tips. Good bed, useful small fridge and desk. The location couldn’t be better. Pub next door is a bit noisy, but that’s the cost of staying at the very center of the city.
• Rachel (8/5): Very good -
• Petra (7/5): Good - The location
• Edward (8/5): Comfortable and great location -
• Katrin (8/5): Very good -
• Roxanne (3/5): Disappointed - The room is beautiful. Its an old building but maintained well. The bed was super comfortable. We loved having the balcony leading out to the church plaza. If you're a night owl and want to party, this is the perfect location. There is a bar right below the room. Live music and a nightclub within walking distance. Bunch of restaurants surround the B&B. First, the rooms WIFI was very limited. You had to sit right next to the WIFI box to connect. The television worked but could not connect to the service to watch. That wasn't the deal breaker. We can live without those things. At 9pm loud music starting playing right outside our window. It was a dj and a band. It did not stop. It continued to get louder. It was so loud, you could feel the bass in your chest as we laid in bed. We have a 7 and 4 year old. They could not fall asleep. Neither could we. We understand its a Saturday night, next to a beautiful church, but manage your rooms better. If you know music is playing in that bar, share that in the description. I would appreciate the honesty instead of us having to repack at 10pm and find another place. After reaching out to the reception, they had no open rooms. We had to check-out at 10pm and find another place. They did not respond or reach out for any assistance or support. Still charged for the room. That's what it's all about. Sadly, NOT a great location if you want a nice, peaceful sleep on the weekend.
• Yura (9/5): Superb -
• Winifred (8/5): The hosts were marvellous in helping us travel from port where we had travelled with Direct lines as a foot passenger - Location perfect Lack of facilities e.g. kettle to make tea or coffee we arrived late so we’re not able to leave the building to go out and buy any water or food
• Suzanne (6/5): Great view but . . . . - Bed was comfortable and the view from our room just lovely. No glasses, cups, hot water jug, tea/coffee or anything provided. No breakfast provided. Just a coffee machine which you couldn't use as no cups or provisions.
• Stanley (8/5): Great location and friendly owner - This B&B is in an excellent location for the attractions. Owner was very friendly and helpful for everything. Room was clean. Bathroom shower needs maintenance.
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (9/5): Nice base to explore Messina - Great location and friendly customer service. Named rooms is a lovely touch. Slightly noisy at night but not till late. Room could use a tiny bit of maintenance.
• Mark (8/5): Very good - Great location and spacious. The room is clean and comfortable.
• Indiana (10/5): Lovely spot in messina and very friendly host. - like the pictures, nice and tidy, clean bathroom, cute view from the window, the host was lovely and accomodating, was able to check in a bit later and it was all good, very responsive, gave us good recommendations for dinner, really lovely spot. We only had a short stay as we’re only passing through messina but still an amazing spot. bit warm in the room but the air con works well
• Steve (8/5): We would happily stay here again. - The owners were lovely. Friendly and had good advice for restaurants and sights. The neighbouring bars do play loud music until late so earplugs are a good idea.
• Roger (8/5): Very good - Location
• Jenny (9/5): Blissfully peaceful, and Uber hospitable. Very happy to recommend this lovely place. - a great location just a few minutes walk to a lovely sandy beach. The staff were lovely and even opened the restaurant just for us. And what a gorgeous vegetarian meal they prepared. The cook and his assistant stayed on chatting making us feel really welcome. Fresh croissants were delivered in the morning and we enjoyed them sitting on the sheltered verandah. Thoughtless guests clearly smoking in the living room and bedroom. It’s a smell that is impossible to eradicate, no matter how clean the areas were.
• Stephen (5/5): Could be a classic hotel if it wasn't for the street noise. - Very helpful and friendly staff - went out of their way to welcome and help us. The noise at night was awful. Amplified singing in the cafe downstairs and street noise. We have to sleep with the window open. Of course the cathedral bells are disturbing and maybe should be mentioned. There is a terrible smell in the drain just at the front door of the duomo so while you are trying to get in you are being gassed by the smell of sewage. Also he corridor is very stuffy and some ventilation holes in the partition would help this.the breakfast was average. If you place a kettle in the room we can make our own breakfast which we would prefer.
• Alice (8/5): Very good -
• Jelena (3/5): Poor -
• Anonymous (4/5): It was good that we didn’t stay more than 1 night , didn’t sleep because of the very loud music below the windows on the - Great location ,big room Very loud music on the Piazza , just below the windows, could not sleep Only two hangers in the closet Bathroom don’t have enough hooks to hang the towels
• Dániel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tom (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vanesa (10/5): Amazing stay with wonderful surrounding - Breakfast was great, served in a near-by bar. Beds were amazingly comfy and the location was awesome. Everything was great! Maybe the internet connection could improve.
• Aniello (5/5): Passable -
• Zhenya (10/5): Exceptional - Top location near the Cathedral. The hosts were very nice and helped us with the parking. The room was clean and had a big comfortable bed. Unfortunatelly we had only 1 day in Messina, but if we get the chance, we wiil come back again!
• Jelena (8/5): Very good - the location is excellent, the rooms are spacious, the breakfast is simple but tasty and fresh, the host is friendly the sink is clogged, the rooms are very basic
• Sarah (8/5): Very good -
• Andrea (6/5): Ok stay but too noisy for that night (no fault from the property) - Rooms are ok but look different from the one in the pictures. Much more basic Unfortunately it is located just above a popular cocktail bar with live music until 1am (sat night).
• Sharon (9/5): Superb -
• Liliana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrea (10/5): Great room - The room is amazing. Can't beat the location. The people that work there are very helpful
• Yei (10/5): Really nice place to stay. Totally worth it. - The location was amazing and the room very spacious and clean. No comment
• Judith (9/5): Overnight in Messina - Large room and large bathroom. Adjacent to duomo and square in the heart of city. Breakfast at nearby cafe. Lift had to be unlocked, so not possible to use it unless a host was there. Noise until 4.30am outside.
• Joey (10/5): Exceptional -
• Les (3/5): Overall negative experience. Creepy place, not secure, old and worn, crappy breakfast. - Location, bed and pillows were comfortable You can't have a bed and breakfast without breakfast- it's false advertising. Breakfast was "walk down the street to a bar and get a coffee and pastry". Bathroom was awful- no hooks or shelves for towels or supplies in shower. Barely warm water. Renovation must have been a long time ago. Also, the bars/restaurants downstairs and across the street are very loud, needed earplugs. Front door doesn't lock unless you pull it shut and I often found it open. No security, no staff on duty most of the time. Elevator needs a key so had to walk the luggage up the stairs.
• Stavros (1/5): Bad - Bad and difficult communication with the owner.I forgot my watch in the room. The owner found it. I call her many times and she promised to send it, of course on my cost. She never did it. :(
• Xenou (10/5): Exceptional - The hospitality was excellent! Very clean and nice rooms. In the city center.
• Jakub (9/5): Superb - Location of the hotel, contact with the staff, little things like two maps of the city on the table. I couldn't turn on the A/C, wifi signal was good near the bed but weak at the table.
• Ian (9/5): Good choice - Next to duomo! Check-in was easy, staff educated and very informative No lift but our rooms were located at 1st floor
• Haidari (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lynda (6/5): good for short day . the square is pretty - location noise from bars in the early hours . could be a bit cleaner. Outside condition of building could put some people off.
• Amalia (10/5): would recommend!!! - - great location and view!!! - not too far from the train station - really clean and comfortable - no problems with check-in and check-out nothing
• Josie (9/5): a pleasant and comfortable stay - was in the best position so close to cafes and restaurants all walking distance
• Richard (8/5): Very good -
• Karin (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly people there was a big noice in the restaurant until 01:00 am
• Laura (9/5): Superb -
• Christine (6/5): great position in centre of Messina. - Great location. 1st floor with a lift. Spacious. Noisy at night.
• Reilly (10/5): Exceptional - Guendalina was one of the most helpful and welcoming hosts I’ve ever had. After a long two months of travelling, I needed somewhere comfortable and welcoming to stay. And I absolutely found it. I hope very much that one day I’ll be able to go back to Messina and stay here again. No notes. Loved it.
• Eleonora (10/5): Exceptional - Modern facilities, very kind staff.
• Anna (9/5): Superb - Warm welcome, great location, pretty room
• Peyton (10/5): Exceptional - A beautiful little B&B run by very friendly people! Had recommendations for activities/food, and bed was comfortable. I did have mosquitoes in my room, but a plug in device was supplied, and once that was on the rest of the night was great. There are some noticeable signs that there’s some upgrades underway (holes cut in plaster) however the room is still totally functional so shouldn’t be an issue for most people.
• Dragan (5/5): I was disappointed, it could be much better service… - Location There was no parking, only street. Room was full of mosquitos, we fought all night. Also church was ringing every 15min. Windows was weirdly closed with new indor glass panels.
• Domenico (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anja (10/5): Good location, great hosts, beautiful rooms with the best views! We loved everything about this place! 😍😍 -
• Tina (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and very nice host! Nice and spacious room 😊
• Julia (10/5): Short but enjoyable stay. - Friendly owner who took time to chat and advise the best places to see and eat. Room was large and clean. There are nearby bars and restaurants that do stay open late. So be prepared for a little street noise.
• Lino (8/5): Very good -
• Sophia (8/5): Very good - Big room, comfortable bed check in was contactless and easy. Location was great A little bit noisy
