I wanted something close to the ferry to end the day of traveling to Sicily by train. Principessa Mafalda was two blocks away. The building was clean and modern with an elevator. The room was large and nicely renovated. The best part of the whole stay however was the proprietor, Giovanni. He helped me prior to my arrival with choices and options on how to reach Messina. Upon arrival he answered all our questions and directed us to a wonderful restaurant. He is a shining example of sicilian hospitality. The property is an excellent value. I look forward to staying with Giovanni again

Nothing

We were pleasntaly suprised by the luxury of the rooms. Giovani greeted us with a big smile and was extremely pleasant. Room facilities were very clean and modern. Parking was free and in private lot on property. Location is very near the ferry port which is convenient for anyone leaving or arriving by ferry. Breakfast was a typical breakfast.

The neighborhood wasn't very good. No good dining that was walking distance. We ate at a pizza place that was walking distance but food was not good.

The room was wonderful, everything modernized. A/C worked great, amazing shower with different jets coming from every which way, comfortable bed with lots of pillows, soft towels, fast internet, lots of wall plugs. Really nothing to complain about the room. I came in the off-season and ended up being the only one there so breakfast to myself which was amazing! Also the reception staff were very kind and helpful, plus he spoke a bit of English!

Was a struggle initially getting into the unit, but that was in part by being a last minute booking in the off-season.

They were absolutly very kind, everything went smoothly. Giovanni is very amazing kind , he prepared a small bag with foods for my kids and a battle of cold water on the day of checkout and travel home. The apartman is very big, comfortable.

There is no kitchen in the apartman, for longer stay the frigider is not enough

Incredible stay! Giovanni and Paola were so nice and helpful! We arrived 4 hours earlier for check- in but the rooms were ready for us. Very comfortable and spacious. Superb breakfast. Clean and sunny.

An excellent hotel, with large, comfortable bedroom and bathroom. Very good breakfast and lovely, helpful staff. Very handy for the ferry terminal.

Nothing, although there are no restaurants nearby

Good quit place, professional service. We got lot of recommendations from the owner for food.

Everything was perfect.

We had an amazing time at Principessa Mafalda. Giovanni and Giuseppe were amazing with us, they made us feel like home. Highly recommend it

Private, closed parking at site. Clean, modern room. Big bathroom. Quiet. Close to tram to go to the city centre. Spacious. Very helpful and friendly Avi, who speaks fluently English and gave us useful tips. Tea and coffee in the room. Very good coffee at breakfast.

The shower handle is very hard to turn. Beds are too firm for us, but this seems to be standard in Sicily.

Giovanni is so kind and helpful! He went above and beyond to make our stay a great experience. Everything was clean and the private parking was extremely helpful. we would highly recommend staying here!
