“This Messina hotel impressed me with its prime location, a short walk to the train station and the city's attractions. I particularly noted the blend of antique furniture and Liberty-style décor throughout the building, and its family-run hospitality is reflected in the rich breakfast, which emphasizes local products. Business travelers will appreciate the availability of meeting facilities, a feature not always standard in similar hotels.”
