Location

B&B RELAX in Messina boasts an excellent location praised by many for its convenience and strategic placement. Situated just a ten-minute walk from the city center and close to the shopping street via San Martino and the tram line, it offers easy access to major attractions, including the Clock Tower and Cathedral. This central positioning makes it an ideal base for both business and leisure travelers with proximity to shops, groceries and essential services ensuring a comfortable stay.

The area is well-connected by public transport, making it convenient to handle errands and visit the old town or the port. Guests also appreciate the ease of parking and the relatively quiet surroundings, despite being on a busy street. The spacious rooms and the notable value for money further enhance the appeal of this establishment. For those visiting the nearby hospital or handling other specific tasks, B&B RELAX emerges as a highly practical choice, blending accessibility with comfort.

Breakfast

B&B RELAX offers a breakfast experience that has received mixed feedback from its guests. Positively, some visitors appreciated the convenience of a self-serve breakfast and the inclusion of fresh fruits, croissants and coffee. The breakfast was consistent with Italian standards, featuring packaged pastries, cereals, juice and yogurt. For these guests, the simplicity and basic nature of what was offered were satisfactory and some felt the breakfast was quite good.

However, other guests found the breakfast offerings to be underwhelming and minimal with a reliance on pre-packaged snacks, biscuits and muesli, which didn't meet their expectations. There were mentions of stale cereals and a lack of variety. The breakfast area was often described as basic with limited kitchen equipment and the need for guests to adapt or organize themselves was noted.

Despite these contrasting opinions, the overall sentiment points to a breakfast experience that, while adequate for some, left others wanting more in terms of variety and quality. The modesty of the offerings was a recurring theme, suggesting room for improvement to better meet diverse guest expectations.

B&B RELAX offers rooms that are consistently praised for their cleanliness and comfort. Guests frequently note the spaciousness of the rooms and the ample size of the bathrooms. Many describe the rooms as pleasant and welcoming, creating a comfortable stay. The rooms come equipped with basic amenities, including a TV.

The accommodation’s proximity to the city center is a notable advantage; within a short 10-minute walk, guests can reach the historic core of Messina, although the immediate area around B&B RELAX might not be the most attractive. Despite this, its convenient location near the city center adds value.

Guests appreciate additional perks such as access to a gym. Overall, the establishment’s cleanliness and spacious rooms, complete with modern and well-maintained bathrooms, meet and often exceed guest expectations. However, some reviews suggest that certain aspects of the room decor could benefit from an update and the sound insulation between rooms could be improved.

Beds

When it comes to bedding at B&B RELAX, guest experiences seem to be mixed. Many have praised the beds, describing them as very comfortable, quite comfortable or even exceptionally comfortable, highlighting a generally positive consensus. However, some guests found the mattresses either too soft or too hard, impacting their sleep quality. Pillows also received mixed feedback with several reviewers noting that they were smelly or bad and some guests specifically pointing out that the cushions were too soft. While the comfort of the beds appears to be a high point for many, there are clear areas for improvement in terms of pillow quality and mattress consistency. Apart from the bed-related feedback, guests appreciate the spacious rooms, excellent location, air conditioning and access to Netflix, which adds to the overall appeal of B&B RELAX.

The majority of comments indicate a positive experience with cleanliness, highlighting very clean rooms and bathrooms, comfortable and impeccably clean accommodations and the kindness of the cleaning staff. Guests often note the extraordinary hospitality and excellent cleaning provided by the staff.

However, feedback is not universally positive. Some guests point out significant areas for improvement, noting issues such as a lack of hygiene, black mold above showers, dirty common areas and observations of hair on hairdryers and pillows. Specific remarks mention that the sheets may not have appeared freshly washed and that some rooms did not convey a sense of cleanliness.

In summary, while B&B RELAX generally meets cleanliness expectations for many guests, there are notable inconsistencies that potential visitors should be aware of. The staff's friendliness and the comfort of the rooms and beds are frequently praised, but improvements in regular cleanliness and hygiene standards could enhance overall guest satisfaction.
