Hotels near Madonna del Porto, Pescara

Fantastic setting right in the middle of the city center and the main shopping street, though easy to reach by car. Friendly staff and easy check-in and check-out. Nice quite rooms and excellent breakfast even in these Covid times. Private enclosed and convenient parking at 50m of the hotel for guests.

Di passaggio a Pescara per una notte, abbiamo trovato al volo una camera tripla ma non ci siamo trovati bene. La stanza era datata, sia negli arredi che per quanto riguarda i sanitari, e non risultava decisamente ben tenuta. La doccia era molto scomoda, con un doccino che non si riusciva a far star dritto, senza il piatto e con delle pareti di plastica mobili impossibili da tenere chiuse in modo corretto, finendo per bagnare tutto il pavimento. La cosa peggiore è stata però il fastidiosissimo rumore dell'impianto di climatizzazione, evidentemente molto vecchio e bisognoso di manutenzione. Impossibile riuscire a dormire, o per il caldo, o per il rumore continuo e forte, proveniente dalle bocchette posizionate sul soffitto. La colazione sufficientemente varia ma nulla di più. Bene invece per quanto riguarda la posizione della struttura, vicina alla stazione, comoda per visitare il centro e il lungomare. Nel complesso, non ritorneremmo in questo hotel.

Good location and stylish decor. Function is another story though. There are two elevators which are both tiny and carry only two people with luggage. We stayed three nights while traveling with a group, in two different rooms (the first night in a double room, even though we had booked a twin; the hotel claimed they had no other rooms available). The double room was extremely small, while the twin room was slightly more spacious. Even though by definition both rooms slept two people, they both had space for only one suitcase and had only one chair. The first room had no desk at all, with one of the nightstands doubling as desk. Beds and pillows were comfortable. The AC took quite some time to cool the room and was very difficult to adjust. Lack of attention to maintenance was obvious: burned light bulb, loose (or detaching) handles and knobs. Bathroom with no convenient shelf space (unless you want to count the shelf under the sink), no hooks and ho place to hang/place clothes or toiletries. The first room had very slow draining sink and shower. The water was extremely soft and very difficult to rinse. Wifi worked well. Breakfast had a decent selection. The problem was the constant lack of bowls, glasses and utensils. The staff would bring them out 4-5 at a time upon request, and of course they were gone within a couple of minutes.

Paid a small mortgage for a sea view room that was a disgrace. It was nothing like the images or descriptions on glossy booking sites. For example, the outdated wallpaper went up 40 years ago, smelled, and was peeling off. The room was tiny. minuscule. The large bed that was advertised is a bulk standard double bed. The door frame to the bathroom was hanging off. The mirror in the bathroom had a chunk missing at the top that was ragged and dangerous. The towels smelled damp. The bathroom is so small you don't really know where to hang a towel and hit your head on a shelf when cleaning your teeth. You can also hear next door using the loo and shower - it's pretty noisy and can wake you up. Worse - none of the booking sites tell you about the terrible noise - some evenings - into the small hours due to nightclubs 2/3 times a week directly opposite the hotel. The shouting/signing kept us awake and made us very tired on our supposedly relaxing break. Moreover, the sick in the streets and remnants e.g. broken glass and bottles from the party are everywhere. During the day/night - there are no tea/coffee facilities available in room so you have to pay for coffee or go out. You have just one socket to charge the multiple appliances we all travel with. The area itself when there were no beach parties was like a ghost town - seems like the dead and forgotten graveyard of the Adriatic , no one in any restaurants or bars so the standard is really hit and miss when you go out!! Take care where you eat. Sadly our problems included eating at the hotel, in particular the breakfast we had paid for. What a culinary nightmare!! When we went to the dining room anticipating a four star hot and cold option with self service, the hot consisted of scrambled egg each day and chopped frankfurters - but the eggs were always severely burned with black bits and looked grey. The frankfurters were greasy chopped and then fried to make them go further. We complained at reception - who asked ”what would you like?” we said ”eggs cooked properly please - maybe some bacon”. But sadly, the following day, the eggs were still burned. Worse - from that day forth the left over dinner from the night before was put out to achieve ”more options/choice” - dry old pork and potato. Grey again. Defo not four star!!! We tried to get on with the pastries at breakfast - but these were undercooked in the middle, and cheap and nasty, like everything to do with the Hotel Maja. We gave up eating at the hotel when we photographed guests taking dogs into the restaurant where food is served in a buffet style that we could not touch?? The only positive is that the beach is nice, but the fumes from the road below your rooms are toxic so you cannot sit on your balcony and enjoy the view. The hotel advertises that there is a charge for beach beds, they do not tell you that they are charged from 25 Euros a day upwards so can add significantly to the price of your stay. 25 Euro's is the st

We booked this hotel for 9 nights, from August 18, 2023 to August 27, 2023. In the first night an extremely noisy event (which we understood from the Reception when we complained is a DAILY event between 20:00-24:00) from the nearby hotel. No one from the hotel warned us about this. Also, this was not mentioned in the description of the hotel on the website. When we talked about this at the reception, they did not offer any solution. They knew about this problem. They said that they will try to give us another room in a few days, but an worse room that the one we paid for. We checked out the next day. The other negative aspects which are misleading in the description are: Wifi is very poor, room is too small for queen size bed (the balcony door hit the bed, bedside table furniture missing on the balcony side of the bed, balcony without privacy separators, fish smell on staircase at the day of our arrival very scarce breakfast (the day at our checkout and departure). During the breakfast, waiting in line for somebody to slice cheese and ham, waiting in line for somebody to prepare eggs. (Nobody there for the 20 minutes we took breakfast). It seems that Sea Lion Hotel retained the Covid 19 restrictions which benefit their side and limit tourists services, fitness and Spa are out of work, but they marketed it as they offer these sevices. This hotel is a 3 hotel at best, not as it is listed, as a 4 hotel with a rate of 190 euro/night!!! Of course, they don't want to reimburse the money. We made a complaint on the European Commission platform. They need to be hold accountable. Reports and statisticsLegislation Contact advisorData protection
