    Did not like that we had to move rooms after arrival, because A/C did not work. Someone cancelled my reserved parking without my concent!! The maid did not clean my room one day! Unacceptable! The breakfast room only had one server to accommodate everyone.

    Location very oood., The staff was very good and helpful, especially Giulia!

    The breakfast on the roof top was not good, cold unappetising eggs, bacon and sausage, dry cakes… The coffee was excellent though The decor was tacky and unappealing, totally over the top, simply get rid of the nasty fake flowers, lemons, foliage and just have beautiful fairy lights

    The hotel is very old and its location on the beach means it’s very loud at night time as it’s directly across from the beach clubs. The music was playing until 2am…

    The location of the hotel was perfect. In the middle of Pescara so everywhere is near only by foot.

    The hotel has a good location and that’s it. Nothing has changed I imagine since it first opened. Felt like I was in a time warp and stick in the 1970’s. Avoid at all costs

    Breakfast shockingly bad. Very basic and poor quality.

    Our room faced Pescara beach and offered an amazing view of the Adriatic along with a nice breeze. In the distance we could barely make out Croatia! We saw the most brilliant sunrises. The one drawback is that our side of the hotel also faces the square (you can see it in the photo above) where a lot of people congregate. Seems like people tend to stay up late in Italy. It was a bit noisy (and we were on the 4th floor) for our liking but it did not prevent us from falling asleep and getting a good night's sleep. One minor complaint is that we were not able to charge our dinner to the room. Fortunately, they accept credit cards.

    Breakfast included with the room reservation. Nice selection, amazing cappuccinos! Staff was helpful and accommodating. Was traveling with my daughter. When we got to the room we found there was only one bed (had asked for 2 in the confirmed reservation). Desk staff immediately moved us to another room with the same amazing view-- and 2 beds. Had breakfast and dinner in the Terrazzo (rooftop restaurant). Amazing views of Pescara beach. At dinner they sent over waitstaff fluent in English. Ferdi was incredibly helpful and professional. The wine list looked like our local yellow pages....one listing after another. He asked if I would trust him to recommend a bottle of wine that would complement our (fabulously delicious btw....) meal. We took a chance and what he brought was perfect and produced locally in the Abruzzo region-- and it was NOT the most expensive selection. In fact, far from it.

    The biggest disappointment was clearly the breakfast. Actually not just a disappointment, but a true annoyance that had the potential to completely ruin our vacation. Not only the selection was very poor, based mostly on pastries, but the two blonde ladies that were serving at the restaurant were sometimes plain rude and borderline condescending. Nobody told us that if we want fruits we have to ask specifically, and only then, they will be brought from the back. Available for self-servicing were only the pastries and some cheap sliced cheese and slices of stale ham. One day some boiled eggs were added to simulate a slight variation in menu. In conclusion, 90% were pastries, and if you are gluten-intolerant, you may skip the breakfast completely and just hunger. At this restaurant that also served the hotel's breakfast there was also a party on a Saturday evening, so the fact that we got a room on the floor just below, even if we had a small child with us, doesn't exactly show concern for the clients' needs... Last but not least, the building is rather old. I don't care about the aspect, but there are clearly some issues with the water pressure, and there were even a few good hours when there was actually no water at all. Plus, there was no kettle / water boiler in the room, no clothes' ironing board or a similar tool, and the electrical sockets were impractically placed.

    The best thing about this hotel is clearly the location, very close to the beach, yet also central and near the commercial area. The cleaning staff and some (not all!) of the reception workers were also friendly and helpful. The wi-fi signal was quite okay and the air-conditioning was working fine.

    Old facilities: old furniture, old bathroom, old worn out carpet in the rooms. My room had a beautiful view, because was on the sea side, but it was extremely noise due to rumors coming from street all night long. Poor food choice at breakfast, even if the terrace was beautiful.

    The hotel is in an amazing position, in the city center and in front of the sea. Staff is extremely kindly and ready to help in case of need.
