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.
FuoriSquadra was a treasure accommodation! The B&B is quiet, ideally located with an incredible view, large, modern rooms with 5 star amenities. Eva has an ample, typical Italian breakfast of an assortment of pastries, yogurt, coffee, tea and juices. The common area of the B&B is wonderfully laid out and furnished, with a huge deck looking out over the Straight of Messina. Charming, comfortable and relaxing. The decor is chic and upscale.
Staff were wonderful throughout my stay, from those at reception to breakfast( which was really good, loved the omelettes on request 😋 ) and restaurant which I frequented twice , very nice food and reasonably priced .
Room was good size , very comfortable bed , and shower was excellent. Very minimal street traffic noise. Location is about 20 mins walk from station . All in all , an excellent hotel which I thoroughly recommend.
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!
Not a conventional hotel, 360Me palace is a set of suites in a floor of an otherwise uninteresting building. But it was surprisingly attractive inside. Out two-room suite was huge, and very nicely and artfully appointed. "Palace" is an appropriate name, reasonably descriptive of the lavish furnishing of our room. A short walk from the cathedral.
Really clean, lovely room with ensuite, desk area, nice bed linen. Other than lack of natural light it was like a hotel room.
Kitchen available where you can make tea/coffee.
As others have mentioned, the lady who serves breakfast is very nice.
The location is ok, but is up a long hill. Next time I'd choose a place closer to the rail station.
The staff were first class. The decor and the ambience was beautiful. Very well appointed and very peaceful. Breakfast was the best we’ve had on our entire trip! The room was comfortable and had great amenities. We weren’t wanting for anything. We would highly recommend your property. It was a great way to end our holiday on Sicily.
Very good location safe and sound.. appartamento was super new I felt I was at home.. the host he kept checking up on me at least ones a day make sure I was ok and if I needed anything..
Building is very safe ++++ on site parking with a gate.
I would definitely stay next time I will visit Messina..
The location is quite good,we can reach all main sights of Messina by walking. The rooms and very cosy and decorated is a chic style. I really love the interior decoration style of this hotel. From the window of our room,we can see the landmark of Messina La Madonnina del Porto.
I was able to check in at night after ferry arrival.
The breakfast display was the best we've seen in Italy. So many items: pane, canolis, cereals, eggs, bacon, juices, fruits sliced, nuts, toast, granita, meats and cheeses, etc.
Location near train station.
Fantastic view of Messina and Italy across the sound. Beautiful apartment and fittings. Very comfortable lounge and bed, great shower. Host was very helpful. The lift was a bonus. One of the best places I've ever stayed in in Europe.
Location near to the train station, staff spoke English, small balcony for breakfast, full set of toiletries, we were allowed to check-in really early (really appreciated), they sent me a proper invoice (not very common in Sicily :-/)
All was magnificent I went to this hotel with my father.
We did a bike trip of all Sicily and we had amazing support from staff.
All the amenities were in perfect shape and all good for a visit to this city.
100% recommended
Almost everything. The hotel is a little gem, beautifully designed to almost the smallest detail (it's much better than it looks in the pictures). Room very clean and the staff super nice.
The appartment was excellent, it was a pleasure to spend a night there, would’ve loved to stay longer!
This is a great place to enjoy the views of Messina’s harbour.
Thank you Patrizia!
There is a beautiful view from this hotel overlooking the sea in one direction and the hills behind. A nice garden area with pool gives the feeling of a small resort.
