"We stayed in a water-facing room! The room was spacious and light and very clean. The air conditioning kept us cool. The shower was a good size and water pressure was nice!
The location of this hotel is perfect! It is directly across the street from the water. There is a street right along the front that is vehicle restricted and a wonderful place to walk. The street is strung with lights and there are many bars within walking distance.
The pool at the hotel was good. It is behind the hotel and surrounded by buildings, but beautifully landscaped; they did the best they could with what was there. We enjoyed talking with Stoytcho the bartender there and loved our drink service!
Hotel breakfast was great and the servers there were so friendly!
Our one imperfect point was that our room was on floor one with a very large balcony. That in itself was perfect- yet you could not see out of the balcony if you sat in the provided chairs. The balcony was lined with beautiful plants that made it so you had to stand to see out. This could easily be remedied if the hotel put some taller chairs on these specific patios. (We would still stay here again in a heartbeat, but it’s worth noting that your view is obstructed in these specific rooms)
Off property- we must recommend Ristorante Moletto for dinner! It is right on the pier with amazing food and ambiance. We went there both nights! Magical!
We highly recommend this hotel and will dream of returning!"
"Our stay at the Grand Hotel Palace in Ancona was simply excellent. We were a group of five people, staying in two rooms, and everyone was extremely satisfied with the experience.
The service was outstanding from the moment we arrived. The staff were professional, friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile.
Our rooms were spacious, spotless, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable, with a wonderful sea view that made our stay even more enjoyable. Everything was exactly as we had hoped.
The hotel’s location is perfect—within easy walking distance of the port, the historic old town, and many restaurants and attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring Ancona.
Breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of fresh, high-quality options to suit every taste.
Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would gladly return. I highly recommend the Grand Hotel Palace to anyone visiting Ancona and looking for comfort, quality service, and an outstanding location."
"Beautiful spaces, helpful staff, abundant breakfast elegantly presented, refreshing drinks and coffee offered to guests throughout the day. The only downfall, is its industrial area location - you need a car or transportation to get to the city center. You can walk 20 min. to the foot bridge that takes you over the tracks to the nicer beach area."
"This is a beautiful hotel, right near the beach as well as centro storico. Very nice accommodations, very clean, very comfortable, great staff, very professional and accommodating. There is a restaurant on the premises as well. Very good food. There are many restaurants within just a few blocks. Thank you very much for the pleasant stay."
"We really enjoyed our stay, it felt like luxury without it being in your face. Breakfast was fine, lots of cakes and pastries. The room was comfortable and I think all of them have small balconies, that was a major plus. The art was different but cool. And the bagno attached to the hotel, it is separate, but two loungers and an umbrella was only €23 for the day. The pool was also a really nice and refreshing option. Finally, there is a rooftop terrace that gave great views of the coast! We loved it here, completely relaxed. The restaurant was closed for renovations, so we had to venture off property for that, but not a big deal at all. There's a nice little bar/cafe not too far of a walk for a coffee or beer. And restaurants lined the street."
"The 2 bedroom cabin worked perfectly for us. It was very clean bed was adequate and we all had two pillows and a fresh set of towels. Check out the Seaside restaurant a true delight and the staff was amazing there and everyone we encountered was great. Pro tip, stay in cabins closer to railroad you’ll avoid the noise within the resort. Train was not that noisy."
