Located midway between Falcona Maritima and Ancona. All trains stop in Ancona where you can catch a city bus B or C (buy tickets for E1.4 each at tobaconist before your board) to the horizontal location of the hotel (if the driver remembers to call out your stop). You'll then need to walk 4-steep blocks upward.

A summertime resort hotel, we stayed in the off season. Although there were plenty of empty rooms, we were placed initially on the second floor until I asked to be moved upward. Up top--well, see our photo of the view.

Ample breakfasts are served on the ground floor, and an independently-owned restaurant, known for its gourmet wines is located in the basement. We had good meals in both.

Arrived at 22.30 on 20/9. The room was spacious and comfortable, but the nightmare lay ahead. Having driven from Napoli, I was very tired and in bed by 23.00. Not realising the implications of being adjacent to the lift, I was awoken virtually straight away with a constant stream of guests. This kept going through the night with guests coming-and-going, shouting at the tops of voices and banging room doors. Having not slept for more than a few minutes at a time throughout the night, I went to reception in the morning to be faced by a female version of Basil Fawlty telling me it was not their fault as the hotel was busy, full AND I should have complained to the night porter when the doors were being banged (like I could see who the people were and what room was being opened/shut. The grumpy receptionist refused to even discuss a discount again citing the fact that it was my fault I and the fault of the other guests...and I paid €86 for the privilege! Do I recommend this hotel? Yes, I recommend that you stay as far away from this dump as humanly possible.

Stayed at this hotel before a trip to Croatia. It is a little far from downtown Ancona, and the streets are very busy. So, walking very far is out of the question. If you are traveling to Ancona by train, this hotel is actually closer to the smaller train station (Falconara- I think) and so you should avoid the central station. The hotel has nice views of the ocean. The restaurant was small but good with excellent service. Rooms were satisfactory, although the lack of a shower curtain resulted in many wet bathroom floors. It is a nice place to stay for a few days on vacation or business. The best thing about the hotel was the service- the hotel clerk was very helpful in helping us organize our stay. I would recommend it to anyone who does not need to be in central Ancona and just needs a nice, relaxing place to stay.

Stayed here with my family for a couple of days after arriving at Ancona airpot before driving off to our villa some distance inland. It is a large-ish, clean and efficient hotel and I would have no problem in recommedning it for any one to stay at. Its not the best hotel you'll ever stay at but there's not really a lot to complain about either. It has a decent pool and sun-bathing area, a bar, large breakfast room with a well stocked selection of breakfast options, the rooms are on the small side but for a couple of nights that didn't cause us any sort of problem. Overall I'd say it was fairly decent value for money. Not great but decent. A few things to watch out for though: the bar serves food but only on request - not something that is very well advertised in the hotel at all, there are restricted bathing times in the pool, the hotel is a good 600 yards and a fairly steep climb to/from the beach, there is very little else close to the hotel as most of the shops, resturants etc. in Falconara are down near the beach, the hotel itself is in a fairly built up residential area - though a fairly quiet one. There is one restaurant built in to the ground floor of the hotel at the back of the hotel - this is a separate business and only open restricted hours but is a good little place to eat.
