V Maison

$ | Viale Europa 59, Messina, 98100, Italy Fodor's Choice

Hardwood floors, vibrant wallpaper, extensive original artwork, and spacious rooms are the hallmarks of this charming boutique property. On the ground floor, there's a small shop full of stylish housewares that feels like a photo stylist's prop closet. And though the property is located on one of the city's principal streets, the heavy windows ensure a good night's sleep. Two of the rooms have private terraces.

Pros

  • Stylish, updated accommodations
  • Good soundproofing in rooms
  • Beautiful rooftop terrace for breakfast

Cons

  • No counter space in bathrooms
  • No bathtubs
  • Bar open only for private events

Hotel Messenion

$ | Via Francesco Faranda 7, Messina, 98123, Italy

This independent hotel provides tidy accommodations in the style you might expect in a chain aimed at business travelers, but the name and ambience of the hotel are much more connected to the town's local spirit. It's thanks to Anassila, the tyrant who ruled Reggio, that Messina got its name sometime around 491 BC, in honor of his homeland (Messenia) in Greece. And he was given the right to mint money, coins called Messenion, which were vital to the growth of trade in the area. 

Pros

  • Balconies in half the rooms
  • Clean and spacious rooms
  • Good location for exploring Messina by foot

Cons

  • Paid parking
  • More of a business hotel feel
  • Small showers

Hotel Villa Morgana

$ | Via Consolare Pompea 1965, Messina, 98165, Italy

Recommended Fodor's Video

Re Vittorio De Luxe

$ | Via Attilio Gasparro 7, Messina, 98122, Italy

This updated historic palazzo maintains elements of its early 1900s grandeur: parquet floors, 13-foot ceilings, and porcelain stoneware tiles. Almost every room has its own balcony, and the hotel is full of art by Giancarlo Mustich. It's a very clean and enchanting little place to lay your head. The owner, Massimo Costantino, has relationships with everyone in the neighborhood and can arrange to have lunch or dinner brought into the hotel if you're a bit road weary and simply don't want to go out. 

Pros

  • A balcony in almost every room
  • Incredibly pastry selection for breakfast
  • Conveniently located near the Duomo and great area restaurants

Cons

  • Street parking or in a nearby garage
  • A couple of the rooms are a little dark
  • The entrance of the hotel is actually on the second floor of a residential building
