Hotel Ancona dengan Gim

We stayed at the Grand Palace Hotel in Ancona from July1-5 ,2024 in a suite with a water view balcony based on a Wine Spectator article. This hotel exceeded all expectations in terms of Service, Quality, Value, Cleanliness and Friendliness. The front desk service was friendly, efficient, and helpful. Their dinner recommendations were excellent as were their advice on visits and tours. They went above and beyond by calling our next hotel in Bari and securing us a room a day early. Although we were past our cancellation date, we were not charged for leaving a day early. The entire excellent atmosphere is a reflection on how the Hotel is run and managed. We were fortunate to express this to Paolo the GM. We also visited the associated winery , Umani Ronchi and were blown away by the passion , enthusiasm and knowledge of our guide, Ivan. His knowledge extended to the unique features of the cellars, comparisons with wines of the region and insights on wines worldwide which led to vibrant discussions and comparisons. We enjoyed tastings and chatted in an unhurried environment. We have visited most major wine regions of the world, and Ivan’s passion, knowledge and enthusiasm surpassed all other visits. A certified sommelier, his response to our compliments was that his motto is “kindness and honesty”. We later learnt that there were 3 guides of similar caliber, a tribute to the Bernetti family and the entire operation.

A truly wonderful experience. Friendly staff, very welcoming. Loved our room and facilities. Great Bistro with amasing views and a wide range of food and drink. Gi Gi, looked after us really well. Superb breakfast and waiters. Located close to the old city. If only all Italian Hotels were at this high standard. Many thanks Guys, loved our stay.

The Ego hotel is situated in an easily accessible area with good easy parking facilities. The hotel itself is very reasonable for what it offers, very clean and a great spa to unwind. Above all the staff are very helpful, especially Simona!!

Everything was perfect but cleaning ladies have to speak not that high, they speak to each other from room to room wich I don’t mind but not that loud , there was one cleaning lady that was on the phone all the time speaking loudly

Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in the Portonovo area or just outside on Ancona. Genuinely cannot say enough good things about this hotel, which far exceeded my expectations. The hotel itself is so lovely-very clean and the staff take pride in a rigorous cleaning service. Our room was fully made as soon as we came back from breakfast before 10pm and cleaning was of a very good standard. The hotel is travertine throughout so just be careful as it can be slippy if it has rained or you're coming back wet from the pool. The pool area is very lovely but the pool bar was closed as we technically went out of season for this (so unable to comment), but again, the area was clean with lots of sun loungers. The breakfast spread was unbelievably good with a large variety to suit all tastes. Traditional fare, with cured meats, cheese, tomatoes, pastries, fruit, etc. but also offered eggs and bacon and other options which is very nice. Excellent Lavazza coffee and fresh juice which made all the difference when it comes to quality. Although we didn't have dinner at the restaurant, we overheard so many guests saying it was unbelievably wonderful and of a high quality (some even said of a Michelin standard!). The wine served at the restaurant was fantastic, having a large variety and many local wines. If you like white, I absolutely recommend the Pecorino Offida Della Angela for 28 euros (one of the best I've tried). All of the staff we met were so friendly, well-mannered, and very accommodating. This was further evident when one of the managers at reception went out of his way to help us by calling the local taxi company we used (who only spoke Italian and we didn't fluently) in order to find one of our lost phones which we were luckily able to get back only with his help! The beach of Portonovo is literally only a 5 minute walk from the hotel and there are a few fantastic restaurants at the beach front which were out of this world. Highly recommend Il Molo and Spaggia Bonetti! Would also suggest you bring some sort of beach shoe or croc if you want to go in the sea as it is mostly pebble/shale and can be a bit precarious going in. But wonderful all the same! You can rent sun loungers and umbrellas for the day and the cost varies depending on who owns which section and how close you are to the beach. It cost us 25 euros for the front role of the blue and white loungers/parasol owned by Il Molo for the full day which I would say is worth it, especially if you want to go for a drink and some food there. The hotel is slightly secluded in terms of wider transport or any supermarkets. But if you go to the service stop just up from the hotel where there is a restaurant and trail walk, you can get a free short bus that takes 3 minutes to take you to another bus stop where you can get a bus directly to Ancona city centre. Just double check the times in advance if you can as this is what we needed to do. All in all, Seebay is a fantastic hotel
