Stayed here while touring Italy in July 2007. Was concerned by the last review but as there didn't seem to be any other hotels available in Pescara at this time we thought we'd chance it.
Overall we had a pleasant stay. OK the decor is in need of an update and the place could do with an overhaul but as we weren't paying huge sums of money for a room this wasn't a problem.
Our room was of a decent size, as was the bathroom, and everything was clean. We even had a balcony - not a place to sit and watch the sun sink over the horizon as it overlooked the building next door which was being renovated but a place where we could hang our swimsuits out to dry after a day at the beach.
The breakfast was pretty poor. Coffee, fruit juice, fruit, rolls and jam, yoghurt and (if down early) a small selection of salami and cheese. But there is a supermarket 2 minutes away and a fridge in the room if you are desperate (or go to the cafe next door and have breakfast Italian style).
The best thing about the hotel are the staff. They were very friendly, helpful and courteous (probably the most friendly we came across on our tour which also took in stays in Bergamo, Bologna and Rome). On hearing we were taking the train to Rome (4hrs), they did suggest the bus (2.5 hrs) and then tried to ply us with sandwiches and water (gratis). Also on arrival our room safe wasn't functioning properly but they had it fixed within 5 minutes.
The location of the hotel is fine - 3 minutes from the station (where buses leave from as well) and 5 minutes from the beach.
If you want the type of hotel which provides you with all the niceties and little extras, and which gives you stunning views and 40 TV channels in English don't come here. However, if all you require is somewhere which is clean, comfortable, has friendly and courteous staff, and is reasonably priced this is the place for you.
