This hotel's in a lovely location, overlooking the sea and everything's within easy walking distance. As others have said, it's rather dated but we found that to be part of its appeal and loved the large salon/lounge area with its clusters of sofas and easy chairs, rugs on tiled floor, huge fireplace and interesting books on the area very attractive...

A nice hotel, located in the perfect spot for Ancona's historical center. The owners and personnel are very polite and friendly. One may enjoy its breakfast in the fifth floor overlooking the sea and the harbor. More

The hotel is old, but this is its value; you can feel the history sitting in its lounge adorned with frescos and stuccos. Ancient building, but with wireless – free- in the common areas. The rooms are tiny, but comfortable... (With TV and minibar) and you will spend the major part of the day visiting this wonderful historic town, because... More

Excellent location for Ancona, placed perfectly between the centre and the ferry port. The staff are very friendly and efficient with proud suggestions for their beloved little city... Dated and in need of a refurbishing but clean and perfectly situated to explore and have a good time at a good price. More

Great location for train and ferry passengers as well as old town centre. Hotel very old, a little worn - it has seen better days - but for just a room to sleep in and use as a base for traveling from and/or sightseeing Ancona its fine value for money. Staff super and helpful! More

The hotel is older, but well maintained. The bathrooms appear to have been recently renovated and are very clean. The come with... More

It has been a while since my visit but I am trying to catch up on reviews of some smaller-less reviewed properties I have stayed at. As others have said, the photos look lovely but must have been taken 30 years ago. Everything was stale - from the decor to the food. Staff was as helpful as could be but... More
