Very nice and clean apartment, spacious bathroom and comfortable bed. Short walk to the station and has a small lift to get up to the hotel. Parking on the street was a little difficult to find but we managed. Delicious breakfast was included, with a variety of foods and drinks. Fabio and the staff were very friendly and happy to help.

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.
Absolutely beautiful room, very tastefully decked out and lovely Ortigia products to use in the bathroom. Breakfast was adequate, with fresh fruit, yoghurt and bread with toaster et cetera in the kitchen. Two good coffee machines in the bedroom and kitchen. Everything was very conveniently within walking distance, including the train station. Marco very kindly met us at the train station and Emmanuel at the hotel was very helpful too. The provincial museum was extremely well designed, with a beautifully presented Caravaggio painting.
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.
I had a wonderful stay at Jolly Charme for 4 nights, where the staff treated me like family. They went above and beyond, serving breakfast even after I overslept and allowing me to use their lovely kitchen area to work past checkout time. They also warmly welcomed my guests with coffee. This hotel truly prioritizes guest care and satisfaction, making it a highly recommendable choice in Messina.
My host Carmelo,was very attentive and kind. He went out of his way to assist me in finding a clinic in Messina,Sicily where I could get a Covid Molecular test in order to board my flight back to Montreal,Canada! The bed was very comfortable and the Air Conditioning functioned well. I had a fresh espresso coffee awaiting me both mornings I stayed there! Grazie Carmelo! Concetta dal 🇨🇦
Huge room with glorious floor tiles and painted ceiling. Large comfortable bed. There was a fridge and a kettle which was great. The staff were very friendly. The location was perfect, we had 2 balconies onto the street but the room was very quiet. Loved the slightly faded elegance of the hotel. It would almost be a shame to modernise it! We would definitely stay there again.
This was an excellent find. My last backpacking night in Sicily decided to splash out a bit more on accommodation. €40 ish (which is a lot out of my daily budget) Roberto the host was more than perfect. The location was perfect. The room was perfect. Another 30 so days travelling around Italy and I hope to find similar accommodation. Thank you Roberto. John.
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!
It was easy to get to from the Messina Central train station, approx. 15 minute walk. It was in a fantastic area to see the most recommended sights. The room was elegant, very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was simple yet delicious and their was a very nice man there to make your coffee wishes come true! Self check-in is always a plus.
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
We stayed for 1 night in Messina and this is a perfect place to stay for the city. On arrival we rang the host and within 5 minutes we were let in as arrived earlier than planned.
The room was excellent and the facilities just what we wanted. A lovely stay for exploring the city, thank you to the lovely hosts.
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.
