I stayed one night at the the esplanade in October 2010. although it is in a central location and looks a classy hotel from the outside I was really disappointed with this hotel. rooms are old, bathroom is very cheap and definitely not comfortable. corridors are empty and look like being in an industrial buiding. breakfast is very basic and...

Visited Pescara on a spur of the moment over-night trip, so took pot luck on a beach front hotel. Overall impression was that the hotel has seen better days, and could do with a refresh. The bedroom was a reasonable size, but was quite tired - as was the bathroom. Bedroom amenities also quite limited - a small tv that... More

This was my first visit to Esplanade and Pescara. I would highly reccomend this hotel. The location was right in the center of everything you need beach, great food, great shopping, a short trip ( 10 min) "Colli"to the mountains in Pescara beach on one side and mountains on the other just amazing. The rooms were extremely clean and spacious.... More

Four of us stayed at the hotel for four nights in early August 2008. My uncle was marrying an Italian girl not far from Pescara. The hotel is literally right across the street from the beach and minutes away from shopping and restaurants. The rooms were pretty standard and the bathrooms seemed fairly large for Europe. The shower had plenty... More

We stayed for 2 nights and can't say we enjoyed it. From the outside it gives a pretty nice impression, but the rooms need to be refreshed and the staff consist of middle-aged men, who don't seem interested in making your stay enjoyable... It's definitely overpriced - and we wouldn't stay there again in case we'll be passing by Pescara.... More

I studied in Italy during the summer of '04. 10 of us decided to go to Pescara for a long weekend. We stayed at the Esplanade and had a great time. The hotel rooms were spacious and clean. The staff was helpful. The hotel restaurant is on one of the top floors completly open to the outside, with a view... More

Hotel is very easy to find, just a 5 minute walk from the main station straight down to the beach. The Esplanade staff spoke very good English and were very polite and helpful. The hotel itself is pretty basic. Room has TV and good air-con. Good size bathroom. Didn't eat in the restaurant, mainly because of reviews on tripadvisor. Nearby... More

Booked the Esplanade based on the Tripadvisor recommendations and also the Time Out guide. Have to agree with the reviewer who placed it at not much better than 3 star. The room was fine, clean, everything we needed, but hardly worth 140 euros/night (£100). Made the mistake of wandering into the rooftop restaurant to check out the evening menu -... More

My fiance and I visited Pescara for a 4-day break during July 06. Pescara is a fantistic beach holiday with mile upon mile of golden sand and a calm sea. The weather is great, it was 28-35 C every day and there is low humidity. The best thing about Pescara is that it has not been ruined by tourism. The... More
