Hotel berhampiran BOSCO DELLA CASTAGNOLA, Montemarciano

I went to the Spa at Hotel Raffaello after booking a muscle massage. The receptionists confirmed it two times and I communicated clearly that was the type of massage I booked. When I arrived to meet the masseuse Anna, she immediately told me that she doesn’t do that type of massage and that it is not her fault that it is offered on the spa menu. She said she only does massages her way. I found that weird but I decided to continue. After two minutes into the massage she said that I was tense and asked me if I want to stop because I probably don’t like her massage. I didn’t feel that tense but after she asked me again, I definitely started feeling tense. After about twenty minutes she asked me to turn around. I asked her if she could focus a little bit more on my shoulders. After I asked her that, she seemed offended and said that she does the massage her way and that the reason that I asked her that was because I didn’t like her massage. Then, she again said that I “ don’t like her massage “ and said that I don’t speak Italian well and that I don't understand her. ( which is not true I am Italian and speak the language fluently, it felt really insulting ) and because I didn’t like her from the start. It started to feel very aggressive and I felt like I became her therapist.. I told her that I would like to stop ( after about twenty minutes ) because the conversation made me uncomfortable and because I actually came for a massage but she continued to say that I don’t like her. I asked her to unlock the door so I could leave, which after a minute she did. When I went down to the receptionist and explained the situation and how uncomfortable I felt after, they said: well, we can’t do anything about it and charged me half the price. They ignored the fact that the masseuse insulted me and still decided to charge me, even though I left after twenty minutes. I have never had such a bad massage experience and I have had many massages, from sports massage to Ayurvedic as I travel a lot for work and frequently need massages. If you want a relaxing, quality experience I don't recommend this place.

Stayed two nights as part of a visit to a factory in Apiro. As Apiro has no hotels we stayed here which is 30mts drive. The hotel is well manintained, clean and neat. The breakfast was reasonably fine. Rooms had free water, a safe, fridge, toiletries, TV with all Italian channels, free wifi. There is a restaurant and a bar on the ground floor. For ironing there is a room on the 3rd floor. The location is in Jesi and overall we all enjoyed our stay. Only issue I had is no housekeeping on the next day. However after reporting the housekeeping provided clean towels and 2 water bottle.

Picked this hotel as the one we have stayed in before was closed and it is really easy to find when you get off the ferry. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Had a few questions before we arrived and the hotel was really helpful. As someone else has put its not in the greatest of locations but once inside the hotel you forget all about that. Felt safe and at ease with the covid restrictions, the room was lovely, large, spacious lovely sea view, the bathroom was also lovely with a great shower. A very modern room. Even managed to watch English football which was a massive plus. Food in the hotel restaurant was fantastic and very reasonably priced. My wifes starter was more like a starter for two. This was our first time here and we will definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone

The rooms at Hotel Fortuna are simple and basic - with a desk, bed & wardrobe. My room had a small balcony. The bathroom was decent-sized. For the price, it was worth it. Pros - directly opposite Ancona station. Stay here if you need to get to other destinations in the region by train. Connectivity to the old town is convenient with frequent bus services from the station. It is not walkable so you will need to take public transport. There is a coffee shop next door where you can buy bus tickets. - Polite staff who spoke English well. - Housekeeping did a good job. - Great water pressure which was nice and hot. No kettle in the room so used the hot water to make tea. - Comfortable bed and pillows Cons - Air conditioning was set to ‘Heat’ as it’s not yet summer. Visited in May so the room can get stuffy during the day unless you leave the balcony door open. - No kettle or mini fridge in the room. - The wifi was intermittent during my 2-night stay. - A single plug point near the bed. Carry a multi-plug adapter if you need to charge multiple devices. - Not much in the area for food. - Room keys are clunky and inconvenient to carry around.

Hotel all’altezza di un 4 stelle+: personale gentile e sempre disponibile, stanza impeccabile, colazione internazionale ricchissima di dolce e salato, a pochi minuti a piedi il centro della città. Se dovessimo tornare ad Ancona lo risceglieremmo sicuramente.

Clean comfortable rooms, with a balcony, and a bathroom window that opens. Excellent breakfast buffet: you can eat Italian style with small sweets and prosciutto, or American style with eggs and bacon, or both. Parking is a challenge at dinnertime or when there is a special event in the restaurant, but the hotel sent someone out front to direct people to parking places whenever it was crowded, rather than leaving us to fend for ourselves. The only problem I had is that each room is only on a 6-amp circuit (1300 watts) -- if you bring a hair dryer or a pot to boil water for tea in your room, you WILL blow the fuse, and get to tell the front desk and ask how to reset it.
