1 Star Hotels in Messina

This was a fine small hotel as close to the water as you can get in Sant'Agata. The hotel is located right across the street from a small park that is on the water. The view from the room in the front of the hotel was wonderful, especially as the sun was setting (it was shining right throught the palm trees in the park!). While the apartment came with a kitchenette, there was a notice that if you used the facilities there would be an additional charge of Euro20. You may want to check on this if youplan a long stay and want to do any cooking - we didn't.

Very very basic, situated very close to centre which is good and the people were friendly and nice, I stayed in the attic room which was great as you were so high up, the room is very basic, but clean, they had only one non feather pillow which i was using until I found they had taken that and 2 matresses so on my last night I was ill for the alergic reaction, the chap who worked there woke me up each day for breakfast which was extremely annoying as I was up late each night at wedding celebrations and eventually said I would not have breakfast to avoid being woken. They did not have a card machine so I had to find cash to pay for the accommodation. However, on the plus side I arrived late (due to flight delays) and they left the place open for me with the key in the door so I was very grateful for, the place is clean and they are friendly. But it is basic so if you don't expect it to be anything other than that and you are looking for a cheap stay it is good.

Room had a kitchen in a cupboard (two rings, no oven) and a terrace with a view towards the Roman amphitheatre. Breakfast was across the road and up some steps with plenty to eat and very helpfull staff. In the middle of the town, great to wander along the pedestrian area, and buses not too far away to explore the rest of the island. Would definitely book again!

Notwithstanding two separate air flight delays plus huge traffic jam on auteostrada our very late arrival was absolutely no problem to our perfect host, Salvatore. Breakfast al fresco on a shaded terrace cannot be beaten with the weather we were blessed with. Made the most of attractions in the limited time available, could have done with another week or two. Local Bars, Restaurants, Shops also Supermarkets all good service and value Highlights, visit to Savoca & excellent lunch in restaurant 'Gelsonero', Cable car to Taormina town from Mazzaro, drive through Portella Mandrazzi pass in Monte Peloritani range with coffee at Novara di Sicilia, Gole di Alcantara park & gorge.

apartment was ok apart from the shower being over the toilet! but be aware that buses from catania airport to taormina stop at 7pm, leaving only an extremely expensive taxi option (190 euros). this left us broke as our plane was delayed, and also shouted at by owner of the apartments for arriving late. apartment was quite nice and homely, and very close to the centre of taormina
