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.

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 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.
The space is a straight path from Messina station. Takes about 20-25 minutes walking or you can take a bus or tram to Don Oriole stop. It's a great value and you can see other parts of city. There's also a grocery store 5 minutes away. The room also has air conditioning which is highly appreciated.
Paolo is an attentive host. He's interested in ensuring you have a good stay and it's working hard to upgrade his space. I felt very welcomed in his home.
Exactly what I needed for Messina, as I wanted to stay in front of the promenade. Clean and spacious room, lovely balcony, cute breakfast, the lady that I met in the morning was very friendly. I parked my car exactly in front of the building, that was very convenient and it is free-white colored line. If u are hungry, try the pizza restaurant 50m on your left hand side, as you get out of the property :P I will go back to Blue Mediterraneo soon!
Fantastic location, right on the sea front of the Straits of Messina. Great private garden and two cabin like rooms in a secure area, with access to a private beach. The kitchen area was outdoors in the garden and had wonderful views of the sea whilst having a morning coffee and watching the ships sail by. The hosts were very friendly, welcoming and hospitable. Restaurants and shops were a short walk away.
Above all we stayed with two lovely people for a week in their old farmhouse and orchard up in the hills above Messina.
Friendly, helpful, they made us feel very welcome.
Good breakfasts to start the day before we took off to explore the bird life. And delicious dinners! What wonderful fish. And endless cups of good Italian coffee
Lilla, the host at B&B Delle Serre, is one of the kindest and most generous people you could hope to meet. The property is, of course, beautiful. Surrounded one side by the hills and with sights of the Strait of Messina, it’s stunning. Breakfast each morning is delicious and rooms are gorgeous.
1. In the very center of Messina, a few blocks from Duomo and everything. Free street parking is possible
2. Rooms are spacious, comfy and very nicely decorated with Antonello di Messina's reproductions. The room looks like a 3* hotel room at least
3. B&B host Adriana is very helpful
Despite the hotel being a bit outdated and needing to be renovated, my room was crystal cleaned, and the cleaning service worked like a swiss knife every single day. The location is great. The hotel offers parking in the basement for 8 euros per day which Is affordable and convenient
This hotel offers stylish, comfortable rooms with a panoramic view of the harbour and the strait. The rooms are exactly as in the pictures, the attention to detail and quality is astonishing. The bed is good-sized and comfortable. The staff is super-friendly. Rituals toiletries.
The hotel owner is a very kind person. He met me halfway while I was walking to hotel, he picked up my luggage and walked together , he is a real gentleman. The room is very clean, its location is very central and close to important parts of Messina.
The room is big. pacing the University. we were on a holiday, so there was no traffic at all. All things to see in Messina are within walking distance. Room is. big and clean with a big window. Great Aronchini Restaurante just under the hotel.
Location
Best water pressure in Europe! Great coffee & kitchen facilities.
Carmelo is extremely responsive & accommodating.
First floor, no stairs is a plus. Would stay here again if ever in Messina.
Good location, close to main Piazza and tram stop that takes you directly to Messina Centrale.
Good for a one night stay. Use of shared kitchen / fridge is helpful. Free water.
