Opera Relais R&B

We stayed at the property in room 3 as we were coming for work to Messina. The room had double layered windows to leave the noise out but the smell of bad perfume inside the room was so strong we had to leave it open, it was cold and noisy so we didn’t get much sleep. The worse part was that every time we used the toilet there was a haunting sound of pipes that would go on for hours, it was said to be a masserator and that we shouldn’t put TOILET PAPER down the loo which we didn’t but still the noise was so loud INSIDE the room all night long.
The awful smell and the noise really don’t make this place worth. On top of that, the lack of higiene to have to dispose toilet paper in a small hard to open bin.

We stayed 2 nights with breakfast. Nice room, nice style interior,, clean, new, with airco and nice bathroom. We slept very well and the breakfast was good.
Good restaurants around and nearby the city center. Allot of privacy is guaranteed.

In a great location, with everything you will want to see pretty much in walking distance from the b&b.
The staff are friendly, the room was clean, comfortable and well equipped, the room price also included an Italian/continental buffet breakfast served on site.
I would definitely stop here again and would highly recommend the b&b for anyone passing through Messina.

I had a few misunderstandings and miscommunication with the hotel but we dealt with those. Possibly it will surprise Rosy to hear I would stay there again! But the position was great for me and my room was lovely. There are a couple of things I want to pass on to other prospective guests. The first thing… we think this was booking com fault that I didn't get full info re checking in… but the hotel has 2 locations one is at 85 and one at 113 and the reception is at 113. Quite important to know that! There is no safe in the room. Maybe Opera Relais could consider providing them. The 3rd thing for me as I do try to be Green and am concerned about the environment is that my towels were changed after just one night. I was staying 3 nights and would have been perfectly happy to have the same towels for my whole stay. There wasn't a Do Not Disturb sign provided so my room was serviced but in this day and age most places now suggest that the guest request fresh towels if they want them otherwise the hotel will assume you are happy to use the same ones. Let's do our bit for the planet please and not do unnecessary washing!

Cleanliness, kindness of the staff, clean room and great hearty breakfast, I recommend it.

Very nice B&B! Everything was as expected.
Large rooms, clean and comfortable. We had great breakfast there. Also very courteous staff.
The B&B is near to the center of Messina and also near to the railway station and to the harbour. So we can totally recommend to stay there!

The kindness of the staff, the cleanliness of the property and the décor of the rooms make this b&b a masterpiece.

Very nice place, paid attention to every detail, the breakfast was great, staff friendly and professional.

We arrived in Messina by train from the mainland and we stayed overnight at the Opera Relais B&B at the start of a three week trip around Sicily. (Overall, we stayed at nine B&B's around the island which all turned out to be quite different from each other and we enjoyed all of them).
This B&B is very well located, near the railway and bus stations, and the picturesque area around the cathedral for restaurants etc. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was excellent: spacious, stylish and with sea view. The bathroom even had a double shower 'for him and her'! Very comfortable night's sleep and decent breakfast.
Would definitely recommend an afternoon and overnight in Messina — and staying in Opera B&B, which gave us an excellent start to our séjour in Sicily.
