I stayed 2 WEEKS, spent most of my day in my room because of the heat and went out only at night....my room was facing the Sea....I had the world at my feet, missed nothing......in my case the hotel has sentimental value as my dad worked the front desk for 25 years💖

My room was 510 just below the restaurant and when they moved tables around in the morning it got a bit noisy.........the entrance of the hotel was not air conditioned and open doors, got a bit hot with 40° outside.........the hallways carpets needs a replacement.....and The Restaurant not consistent with quality of food, it is independent from the Hotel and CANNOT be charged to your room‼️‼️ .

I am sure this hotel used to be more glorious. Our stay was excellent, with everything we needed around us. The beach is across the street, supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, literally everything is within walking distance around the hotel. Our bed was comfortable (a bit harder than the one at home, but we had good quality sleep). Average size room, efficient AC, environment-friendly shower pressure :) We didn’t use the minibar, but the prices were decent. Room cleaning/towel changing done daily. Very kind and helpful staff. We booked the cheapest room, it had inner yard view, but it may have been for the better, to avoid street noise. Carpeted floors and the furniture are somewhat dated, but in our room they were good quality and quite practical.

No biggie for us, but the internet provided was very unstable.

The excellent location and great reception stuff. Great location and great room with view.

The lady at the breakfast room advertising in front of other guests that we need to pay for breakfast and we had already informed reception that we would but she insisted 2 times in front of other guests which is very impolite. Also the eggs were finished and I politely informed her cause another guest was shy,to,ask and this server came with a plate of eggs at my table and when I told her its not for me she made a loud sound of irritation and the other guests looking at her at us. If she is racist cause my husband is dark I'm really sorry for her but her actions of trying to,humiliate a guest,should be reprimanded.

Perfect location and superb view on the Adriatic sea made this stay a real pleasure. Very good breakfast, and friendly smiling personnel were essential to help me start my day in an excellent mood over the whole week. Cool air conditioning helped relax after the hot day as well.

One thing problematic was a bit broken and quite old equipment in the bathroom. They need redecoration. Also, on TV there are apparently no English-speaking channels, even no BBC News.

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.

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.

So well positioned in front of the beach and walking distance from restaurant and shops. Room was spacious and comfortable. Andre at the front desk is AWESOME! He is very helpful and your partner in making your vision happen. Helped me to find an available trabocco for lunch - one of the highlights of my stay! Would highly recommend!

Some older reception staff unwilling to assist - no smiles - no solutions…

The hotel is an old building, but I truly liked the vintage atmosphere, the lovely high ceilings and the furniture. We were upgraded to a deluxe room with sea view and a balcony, which was amazing! Staff is very cordial and kind, compliments!

Mainly sweets for breakfast, just some ham, cheese, scrambled eggs and bacon in terms of savory options- but I know that's just the way Italian hotels are, so no big deal.

i love historic hotels, real brass keys you leave at the concierge -- helpful concierge that will telephone the airport for you and help you figure out bus schedule... history, and filled with original artworks -- paintings of flowers in vases... AC works in room!

shower stall could be upgraded

It's a hotel that obviously has its prime in the past, but still holds strong. I had a nice room with a bathtub. The location is perfect and the staff is very friendly.

The breakfast is not good, but the location on top of the building might make it worth to get it once anyway. The parking situation is really bad!

We were pleasantly surprised by the Esplanade.We read some poor reviews prior to our visit that we now consider unfair. Could do with a little tlc, but good value currently. Fantastic location.

Needs modernising.
