Cari Penginapan dan sarapan di Messina

Durante il viaggio di 10 ore per arrivare a Messina vengo avvisato che l’hotel è indisponibile per problemi idraulici e che ci riproteggono in un B&B. Messi davanti al fatto compiuto sono costretto mio malgrado ad accettare non avendo alternative è preso dalla stanchezza. Per fortuna che devo rimanere solo una notte. Il B&B è in un palazzo non bellissimo con un’accoglienza pessima e , ciliegina sulla torta, la coazione è fuori in bar, ma bisogna stare attenti perché devi dare il foglietto e puoi prendere solo due cose. Chiamo l’hotel Vittorio e faccio noto la maleducazione in accoglienza ed il trattamento della colazione, non scelto da me . Io ho prenotato in un un hotel e se mi sbattono in un B&B dovrebbero avere almeno l’accortezza commerciale di essere vicino al,cliente. Non mi aspettavo che mi offrissero una cena , ma almeno una colazione top. Dopo mie rimostranze la addetta del Vittorio mi dice che al bar posso prendere tutto quello che voglio. Ma non va bene perché avrebbero dovuto agire motu proprio . Commercialmente mi sono sentito trattato male. Se potete scegliete un altro albergo a Messina. State alla larga.

We spent only one night there but the location is convenient enough. The room is spacious and clean which makes a very tired family feel restful and relaxed after travelling. We had to leave by 7am in the next morning and did notice the business owner had some croissants ready for breakfast at the reception area.

If I could give this place 20/10 for service, I would. When we arrived at the location, we were in a complete state of panic as we thought we had been scammed by the gas station up the road. After checking us in (a few hours early), the receptionist kindly accompanied us back to the gas station and helped us translate between Italian and English, clarifying the misunderstanding of the situation. This was exceptional service and kindness we were not expecting. The room itself was incredibly luxurious - we actually had 2 bedrooms (family suite) for 2 people. The walk-in wardrobe was a delightful surprise, although we didn't stay long enough to enjoy it. As we were both working while on holiday, the study desk in each room gave us the privacy and space to do our meetings and work independently. The bar fridge was useful for us to store our salads, snacks and bottled drinks. The bed was super comfortable and we had a very restful sleep. The pillows were also the right height. Thankfully, there was air conditioning - our previous hotel did not. We slept like babies. The bathroom had all the amenities, including a hairdryer which is essential for me. Best for last - breakfast the next morning was an absolute feast. The continental style breakfast spread was generous and we indulged in pastries, yogurt, fresh fruits and marvellous coffee. I believe everything is baked fresh in house. As we checked out, we were even gifted a bag of pastries to take on our journey with us. ＜3 I highly recommend this place, and I am ever grateful to the wonderful hospitality we enjoyed here.

I have stayed at il Galleone this summer together with my family the nights before and after my wedding. Il Galleone is conveniently located in the historical city centre, a stone away from the Duomo/Cathedral square. Everything is literally at walking distance and there are plenty of restaurants and places to eat in the elegant and peaceful neighbourhood. The rooms are well equipped with every comfort: air conditioning, hairdryer, fresh towels, toiletries etc.. They are very nicely decorated and elegant, so they suited perfectly the wedding pictures. The breakfast is kindly provided in the communal room where coffee facilities and pastries are served every morning. A special voucher is offered in addition to this for the very first morning when one can opt to have breakfast in one of the two historical coffee places located in the Cathedral Square, literally 100 metres from the Galleone. Such a bonus! Antonella and Rosario were perfect hosts (at times they felt like family), so welcoming and catering all the demanding needs a bride can have, always supportive and understanding. They went out of their way to make my family have the best experience possible during our stay and I will eternally be grateful to them for this. I highly recommend the Galleone to everyone who needs to be in Messina either for work or leisure. It's a special place run by very amazing people: You will feel like Home! Thank you so much!

Wow - what an amazing place! We didn't expect to find such a gem in Messina, but this hotel has so much character. Our suite had a balcony with a view, a huge en suite, a chandelier and a tapestry. We found we had the whole hotel to ourselves overnight (no staff on the premises!). Breakfast was fabulous, with loads of choice, and the location was great for exploring in the afternoon. Messina isn't the most exciting location (we were en route to the Aeolian Islands) but this hotel made our stay very special!
