Detailed Reviews
We have a home in Ancona but sometimes like to take a stay-cation and the Grand Hotel Palace is the ideal place to do so. Earlier in the year a water main broke in our neighborhood so we just packed our overnight bags and checked into Hotel Palace for a night. This week, having completed 3 months of lockdown in another region of Italy, we decided to spend our first days back in Ancona at Hotel Palace. The hotel itself was just coming out of lockdown and has made some temporary changes for current regulations. For the time being, the wonderful breakfast buffet has been replaced with a smaller assortment of good local foods that are delivered to your room. Until the wine bar can reopen, the hotel is able to offer a limited menu of dishes via room service dinner. The rooms are still luxuriously appointed, the wifi is great, and hotel staff go out of their way to make sure that each stay is perfect. We'll be back!

I like this hotel, it's ideal for a shorter or even longer stay, particularly if you want to travel further on by ship, as it's located close to the ship docks (one still has to the take the extra bus though for check-in at the docks, particularly with baggage).
Staff is very professional and attentive and I particularly like that I got an upgrade to a seaview room at a higher floor.
Also, the Corona measures are perfect, very safe and not too disturbing. The maids are also professional, respecting the guests' privacy.

I had a great experience at the Grand Hotel Palace Ancona. It is placed in a strategic position by the harbor, at walking distance to the old town, the cathedral and the Traian Arch. The name might sound pretentious but is truly apt, the hotel was fully renovated recently and looks very good. The entrance is sumptuous, the restaurant (and breakfast room) is welcoming and the rooms are classy and very technological, with a very efficient and easy to use A/C. I appreciated very much the free use of the minibar. The service is excellent: Emiliano at the reception was very helpful and friendly, and the young staff at the breakfast shift was also very pleasant. The hotel has an underground parking lot and also a few parking places outside in the back street. Very competitive price. Highly recommended.

I had the pleasure to be Grand Hotel Palace’s guest for several times due to business reasons, and starting to get a knowledge about the area this is definitely the best choice if you’re looking for a high quality stay at a fair price.
The hotel itself is clean and immaculate, and the staff does its very best to please all your needs.
In resumee: Excellent Hotel with very friendly and helpful staff located in a prime spot. 10 over 10!
By the way... thank you Simone for taking such a good care about my reservations.
Sunny regards!

We picked this hotel at the last minute on our journey within Italy. Expedia gave us the best rate overall. The one thing that impressed me the most was how willing the staff was to help.
We forgot to ask for parking (the website said limited) after we booked. My wife emailed them while we were on the road to Ancona. Within 5 minutes, we received an email back that we had a space. Five minutes!!!!
Upon arrival, we didn't see a valet or the parking area. I ran in to check-in and ask about parking. The front desk agent said to leave the car out front, gather my items and one of her colleagues would be by soon to park the car. No fuss.
The best part was the complimentary upgrade to a suite. Very unexpected. The room was great but the bathroom with a shower that had a rain, waterfall and mist feature was over the top. In addition, there was a tub with head rests big enough for two.
The hotel is very elegant without being showy. The location is within 5 minute walk to a lot of bars and restaurants. So glad we chose the Grand Hotel Palace.

Booked this hotel as it is close to the ferry port. This is an excellent hotel. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating even going to the trouble of doing some extra work to allow us a late check-out. The room was bright and clean, free mini bar, coffee/tea maker. Breakfast was very good, dining room (Wine Not) was bright and welcoming as well. As mentioned all of the staff were excellent and spoke flawless English, the manager helped us out with our luggage! Location very good to reach all/most of the historic sites, bars and restaurants and promenade on foot, and a very short walk (3-5 minutes depending on which ferry your are taking) to Port Authority and ferry terminals. Rates were reasonable too. I would certainly stay here again should I be in Ancona again.

We arrived early in Ancona and the receptionist was able to help us with an early check-in - her communication was excellent. The complimentary mini bar of soft drinks was a nice touch. We stayed in an executive room which was a good size and had a great bathroom, with "his & hers" sinks and a spacious shower. The air conditioning was very welcome in the hot weather. Breakfast in the morning was excellent - would recommend the pancakes especially and the coffee was as good as any cafe. We'd definitely stay again.

We stayed for the second time and we enjoyed this hotel and the staff immensely! If it's in your budget, stay in The Suite with the terrace/balcony. We had a car, so you just pull up front by the door to check in and a staff member will park your car (there is a fee for the garage). Breakfast is lovely with special order eggs available. We had room service oneevening, although delicious, I must say could have been hotter. Paolo was so nice to us, and when I became ill for two of our days offered his sympathy and assistance. (Thank you, Paolo!). We will return! There is so much to see within easy walking distance and if you get a room overlooking the harbor you will enjoy watching the ferries. :) And, housekeeping and all other staff did an excellent job!

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.

It is always important to stay in a good hotel, especially when you have to spend nine hours on a ferry from Ancona to Split the next day. Our choice fell on the Grand Palace hotel, four stars and opposite the harbour. It turned out to be a good choice. What a great hotel. The welcome was more than warm. We arrived way too early, but the room was ready. The receptionist was extremely friendly and gave us many useful tips to spend a nice day in Ancona. This also applies to her colleague who recommended us a very nice restaurant, La Degosteria, for dinner.
The room was luxurious and comfortable, breakfast served sharp at seven o’clock. Important when you have to ship in early.
The whole experience was wonderful and we will certainly recommend this hotel to others!

I don't think there is, but the hotel will get your laundry done at an additional cost. There are laundry bags available but no self service laundry. Depending on how much time you will be in Ancona you can likely find a laundramat that will do your laundry or you can do it yourself in one.
Dear Guest, sorry for the late of our answer but only this days arrived your question. we confirm that we have a private garage and the price is 18€. we don't know the real date of your arrival so we are at your disposal to help you and to reserve a parking place in our garage upon availability. My best regards. Wlliam, front office manager
Thanks for your question. Ancona has a nice pedestrian center where you can easily use a wheelchair. The hotel is 300 meters from the above area and to go there there are no particular limitations. Please let us know if you need further details. Very kind regards
