The location is close to train station, ferry and shopping area, it's great for us because we stayed in messina one night in order to take a ferry to Stomboli early in the morning. The service is good, the hotel seems to be managed by a family over 50 years, their breakfast starts at 7am or 7:30am but they made coffee and brioche for us before 6:30am because we needed to catch a ferry at 7am. They are nice people though they don't speak English but we manage to understand hand gestures, body language and broken Italian. Hey, that's part of the fun about traveling! The room was simple but clean, most importantly, it has air conditioning !!! The most needed facility in Mediterranian summer.
