Residence Acqua del Conte

Very nice, large and clean room with key entrance to both the outside door and inside. Reception is open from 7.30am until around 9pm The rain shower has good water pressure and the bathroom is very hygienic. Balcony is nice and private and airconditioning works great without being too loud. Breakfast in the room is also a nice feature which felt like a bit of a luxury. There's also a pool table and coffee machine and drink dispenser (paid) on the second floor, and a public terrace.

Location wasn't as great as we thought, as it's quite a climb to get back to the room after visiting the center, so travel by car if you have trouble with stairs and hills. There's only a sheer curtain, and although the room is not easy to see into, there are some rooftop terraces that may be able to with some effort. It also means the room got very light in the morning and we had clear flashes from a thunder storm in our bed. Bed is also very hard and pillows very flat, although I believe that's a thing throughout Sicily because we haven't had any fluffy pillows so far (in 4 different hotels).

The location should be on the quieter side of the city, that probably needs a taxi to arrive there. Hotel can help arrange the taxi (the fare to train station should be around 15 euros with some pieces of luggages). There is a nice sitting room on level 2, with a pool table and a piano inside, a balcony outside. Because we arrived on a catholic holiday, we ended up spending most of the day in the sitting room. There are many art pieces in the hotel, which is quite aesthetic. The room has a proper kitchen with cooking amenities and bowls available, but we didn't cook haha.

It was a bit far to get food, but probably because many (almost all) restaurants were closed because of the catholic holiday. Because of the holiday, there was a big parade going on at night, so many cars racing in the street next to the hotel, so it was a bit loud, but it died down fast enough for us to fall asleep.

Clean room, attentive caring staff and adequate amenities. No room service, but a kitchen in the room.

The distance from town is a bit far and up a hill - but depends on the walk. Take the longer path and its easier.

Facilities, staff, kitchenette, local supermarket, friendly people,, staff excellent considering lockdown,,

Steep hills, terrain terrible,, not wheelchair friendly at all, rubbish on the streets and dog poo everywhere

Nice hotel for a stop over in Messina

Nothing

The hotel is dirty and breakfast is really poor and needs a renovation...

The photos (attached) of the inside of the shower speak for themselves. There are no restaurants anywhere near the hotel. We walked 75 minutes downtown and around some of the streets off the main square before finding somewhere to eat. The wifi kept dropping.
