You should speak Italian in sentences
Posted 5 Oct 2014 on HotelsJust OK. English hardly spoken. Very skimpy breakfast. Very bad written directions. They should read-- From the bus and train station go forward to the four lane street . Turn left at the traffic light onto tne narrow street. You will see the hotel on the right about fifteen meters. Total walking distance is about 500 meters. No shampoo or soap spray. No computer for use by patrons. No Wi-Fi. No lift. Inefficient fridge,. Wanted the key to the room but relented when I insisted on keeping it.

Great location but poor breakfast
Posted 17 Jun 2014 on HotelsGreat location (close to central train station and ferries) - but breakfast was poor (just a croissant and coffee), and my sink plugged up. Staff was pleasant and did their best to be helpful.

Great location
Posted 14 Aug 2013 on HotelsThe location is close to train station, ferry and shopping area, it's great for us because we stayed in messina one night in order to take a ferry to Stomboli early in the morning. The service is good, the hotel seems to be managed by a family over 50 years, their breakfast starts at 7am or 7:30am but they made coffee and brioche for us before 6:30am because we needed to catch a ferry at 7am. They are nice people though they don't speak English but we manage to understand hand gestures, body language and broken Italian. Hey, that's part of the fun about traveling! The room was simple but clean, most importantly, it has air conditioning !!! The most needed facility in Mediterranian summer.

An uncomfortable bed
Posted 6 Dec 2012
Pros: Nothing.
Cons: The mattress.
Location: Very close to the ferry terminal and train station.
(1) The mattress on my bed was very lumpy and uneven. The springs seemed to be broken. It was uncomfortable.
(2) The hotel says it accepts credit cards. When I came to pay my bill the receptionist told me his computer was down so he could not accept payment by credit card. So I paid with cash. I asked for a receipt for the cash payment but the receptionist would not give me one.
(3) There was a very bad smell in the fridge in my room.
(4) The breakfast room was not a place one would want to linger.

Hôtel pitoresque hors d'âge. On pense à Hemingway
Posted 14 Oct 2015 on HotelsAccueil par une personne âgée qui voulait être règlée en cash alors qu'il y avait le sigle VISA sur la porte.. nous avons insisté et payé avec CB.
Petit déjeuner frugal. Vieil hôtel, mais les trois étoiles sont elles encore homologuées????On a l'impression d'être dans une époque c'est dépaysant et drôle.

Hotel in ottima posizione
Posted 11 Aug 2015
Pros: Il posto in cui è ubicato.
Cons: L'arredamento!
Location: La posizione è davvero il top, soprattutto se bisogna spostarsi a piedi.
L'hotel si trova a 2 passi dalla stazione e pochissimi km dal centro, è pulito e il personale è cortese. Per quanto riguarda la struttura è un po' vecchiotta.

Un weekend da horror
Posted 15 Mar 2015
Pros: La gentilezza dello staff
Cons: Tutto!
Location: Vicino la stazione ferroviaria e gli imbarchi verso la Calabria
Ingannati dall'essere un albergo presente su Expedia, con un prezzo nella norma, non è un albergo valido per famiglie o coppie fuori per un weekend. Trasandato, zero comfort, la chicca è la continua puzza di fumo di sigaretta in camera per quanto fosse stata pulita. La gentilezza dello staff purtroppo non compensa l'orrida struttura.
