Grand Hotel Liberty

The bed was comfortable, and breakfast on the roof terrace was good, with good service.

The superior rooms are pleasant enough to live in, although it was not possible to get the air conditioning down to an appropriate level.

Unfotunately, the plumbing was somewhat erratic, we got covered in water running a bath, and then the plug got jammed.

A nice hotel, the superior rooms are pleasant enough to live in.

On arrival they seemed to have lost our booking, but managed to find us a room.

Good food and service in the restaurant there, but attention rather slow in the bar below.

The hotel serves breakfast, but at 7am you may well want to ask them to turn down the awful pop music.

The desk staff was helpful, with restaurant recommendations and tips on travel to the Eolian Islands.

A nice hotel, but it's really geared much more towards Conferences than tourists / romantic breaks (as evidenced when we went to breakfast and inadvertently walked into one.

For other meals you will need to head into town or visit the nearby sister hotel, the Royal Palace.

Service is very helpful (although you might double-check the information if they quote you bus times to Palermo - I missed an infrequent connection because of this).

The hotel is located near the main rail station in Messina and service is very helpful.

A good hotel and the desk staff was helpful.

Initially they were unkeen to do anything about it until morning, and needed some persuasion at the front desk.

The front desk in the morning was very helpful about our onward travel arrangements.

All in all, a good hotel, but with variable (OK to good) service.

Beware the free computer terminal in the lobby of the Liberty.

The hotel is ideally located for the train station though (a few mins walk) and the rooms are clean.
