Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and offered a great view of the harbor. The service was exceptional with a friendly and multi-lingual staff. The location was superb, close to Ancona's attractions, although the view of the sea was slightly obstructed by the port. The dining experience was delightful with a good selection of fresh foods. The facilities were top-notch, enhancing my overall experience.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was great with a lovely firm bed, but it was uncomfortably hot even when adjusting the temperature. The upgraded suite had beautiful views and a jacuzzi, which was a highlight. Breakfast options were limited and seemed to cater more to European tastes. The hotel's location overlooking the harbor and Adriatic was stunning, but the absence of beach access felt a bit claustrophobic.
I had a delightful stay at this hotel! The rooms were very nice and cozy, spacious, and well decked out with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The service was extremely friendly and helpful, with staff being professional and even remembering our names and room numbers. The location, despite the port slightly affecting the sea view, was just perfect for strolling into town and exploring Ancona's main attractions. The dining experience was really good, offering a variety of fresh and delicious options. Overall, a great experience worth every penny spent!
