Maria is a great host, really helpful with suggestions for where to eat and get around. The room was large and comfortable, with own washbasin, fridge and tea making facilities. Plenty of bathrooms (shared) meant you never needed to wait. Would definitely return.

Very centrally located, close to shops & churches, one of cinemas in Trapani and the port. 2 flights of stairs to access property, which might be tricky for persons with limited mobility. Nice inner yard on entrance with various plants. Comfy room with wifi access, balcony, heating/fan, mini-fridge, wardrobe, single sofa. Very welcoming and helpful host.

Appartamento stupendo, in pieno centro storico e all'interno di un palazzo di baroni a dir poco favoloso, ben tenuto e accogliente. Le stanze sono ampie e pulite, idem i bagni. La proprietaria è molto simpatica e alla mano, disponibile a dare informazioni e consigli per godersi appieno questa bellissima città.

Przyjemna obsługa, nie było problemu z późnym przyjazdem (1 w nocy). Kapitalne położenie przy głównym deptaku starej części Trapani, blisko do portu, na plażę, dookoła knajpy, pizzerie, sklepiki. Wyjątkowy klimat miejsca - to chyba część jakiejś XIX-wiecznej rezydencji podzielona na mniejsze pokoje.

Il B&B Vecchio Messina, si trova in pieno centro, all'interno di uno dei tanti palazzi d'epoca ed aristocratici di Trapani. Forte di questa posizione avrete voglia di perdervi in una delle strade della "medina" trapanese, per gustare l'ottimo ed economico street food locale o il pesce in uno dei tanti ristoranti, anche dopo una lunga giornata spese a fare escursioni o vedere le isole dell'arcipelago egadiano. Praticamente di fronte alla struttura c'è un'enoteca che dispone di una buona scelta di vini siciliani da gustare in strada, in un'atmosfera rilassata. Le camere ed i bagni del B&B sono puliti e la proprietaria (Maria, se non ricordo male!) è molto gentile e disponibile a fornire informazioni sulle cose da fare a Trapani e dintorni. Consiglio questa struttura per la posizione, la cordialità e cortesia della proprietaria e l'ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.

Abbiamo soggiornato presso il b&b nelle settimane centrali di Agosto, la struttura è in pieno centro storico della città di Trapani, vicinissima al porto ove partono traghetti per Favignana, Levanzo e Marettimo, vicinissima ai principali monumenti e comoda per piccole gite giornaliere. La colazione offerta dalla proprietaria è ottima e servita in camera. Le stanze sono spaziose e dotate di un comodissimo frigorifero. Ottima la pulizia. Lorenzo

Maria the owner was very accommodating and friendly. She was happy to answer any questions I had about Trapani and Sicilian culture. The building is historic and the location was ideal, near the beach, center, shopping, good restaurants and a supermarket. Definitely recommend it.

Personale accogliente e gentilissimo. Location centralissima in un edificio storico meraviglioso. Colazione in camera abbondante e buonissima. Straconsigliato.

I believe it was a nice value for the money because it was cheap. I found it a little odd because the owners also reside there, so you have to stroll through their living room, where the family spends all day, to get to the rooms of I. I'm not complaining, but it's like you're living in their house, so I sort of felt like I was in their private space. But they are pleasant. Breakfast consists of a cream-filled crossing, a sweet bread roll, coffee with milk, and juice. They provide it to you for use in your room. The bathrooms are shared and dirty, hair, etc. Additionally, check-out is at 11 a.m., but a little after 10 they knocked on my door and told me to check out. Overall, if you want a cheap, secure, and central location to stay it is a good option because in Taani other places will cost you more than double.

We have stayed here several times since the early 1990 s and would highly recommend it to other budget travelers. This is a family run business that has been running since the 1970 s and is a fantastic little standby in an atmospheric palazzo in the heart of Taani's old district. It is simply furnished, with bathrooms separate and across the corridor from the bedrooms, and as far as I know, there is no lift to assist with the three or four flights of stairs involved in reaching it. However, it is cozy, very centrally located for buses, ferries, restaurants, etc. The owner couldn't be more friendly or helpful.

I was in Il Vecchio messing 17 lovely days. This be is located in the heart of the old town of Taani, in a lovely old palazzo. Just a minute walk from a nice city beach. It was amazing because of its cheap price. The bathroom is crystal clear and the bedrooms are cleaned everyday with fresh towels. Maria, the owner of the be, is a very helpful and charming person. She allowed me to store my luggage and take a bath even a few hours after checkout hours. I actually appreciate such a human approach! Highly recommended.

Il Vecchio Messing is conveniently located on Trapani's main pedestrian street at the back of a wonderful courtyard. Although not renovated in a while, the room is tidy. The hostess is also very friendly and willing to help with printing confirmation documents, etc. This is a decent budget option. If you plan on staying, be sure to enjoy a glass of wine on the steps of the bluedoored wine bar across the street. The best wines are priced and poured directly from the cask.

La signora che gestisce il B&B è una persona solare, gentilissima e cordiale. Pronta a aiutare, consigliare e farti sentire a proprio agio. L’atmosfera quieta e antica della casa riporta ad altri tempi e rasserena. La posizione centralissima è impagabile e il suo unico difetto è forse il rumore è il parlare che arriva dalla strada a certe ore del giorno. Non consiglio questa location a persone che abbiano problemi nel salire le scale, poiché ve ne sono parecchie da fare; o per chi non ama condividere il bagno con altri. Perfetta invece x chi voglia godersi per alcuni giorni l’atmosfera di Trapani e sfruttare tutto ciò che vi è anche nei dintorni, sentendosi come “a casa”...

Pousada econômica, simples, familiar, localizada próxima a praia e ao centro histórico de Trapani. Quartos espaçosos com sacada. Nosso quarto tinha quatro camas de solteiro, colchão, roupa de cama e lençois bons. Banheiros compartilhados, equipados e limpos Local silencioso e tranquilo para caminhar a noite. Não tomamos café. O ponto positivo e relevante é a simpatia e a cordialidade dos donos. Nos sentimos em casa. Recomendo a todos os jovens que queiram se hospedar nesta pousada para conhecer esta cidade maravilhosa. Deixou saudades.
