Four of us stayed at the hotel for four nights in early August 2008. My uncle was marrying an Italian girl not far from Pescara. The hotel is literally right across the street from the beach and minutes away from shopping and restaurants. The rooms were pretty standard and the bathrooms seemed fairly large for Europe. The shower had plenty... more

We stayed for 2 nights and can't say we enjoyed it. From the outside it gives a pretty nice impression, but the rooms need to be refreshed and the staff consist of middle-aged men, who don't seem interested in making your stay enjoyable... It's definitely overpriced - and we wouldn't stay there again in case we'll be passing by Pescara.... more

I studied in Italy during the summer of '04. 10 of us decided to go to Pescara for a long weekend. We stayed at the Esplanade and had a great time. The hotel rooms were spacious and clean. The staff was helpful. The hotel restaurant is on one of the top floors completly open to the outside, with a view... more

Hotel is very easy to find, just a 5 minute walk from the main station straight down to the beach. The Esplanade staff spoke very good English and were very polite and helpful. The hotel itself is pretty basic. Room has TV and good air-con. Good size bathroom. Didn't eat in the restaurant, mainly because of reviews on tripadvisor. Nearby... more

Booked the Esplanade based on the Tripadvisor recommendations and also the Time Out guide. Have to agree with the reviewer who placed it at not much better than 3 star. The room was fine, clean, everything we needed, but hardly worth 140 euros/night (£100). Made the mistake of wandering into the rooftop restaurant to check out the evening menu -... more

My fiance and I visited Pescara for a 4-day break during July 06. Pescara is a fantistic beach holiday with mile upon mile of golden sand and a calm sea. The weather is great, it was 28-35 C every day and there is low humidity. The best thing about Pescara is that it has not been ruined by tourism. The... more

This hotel was so good that I was motivated to write my first trip advisor review. This hotel has fantastic service in its roof top restaurant that would not be out of place in a gordon ramsay restauraunt (although others may disagree, I found the waiters incredibley attentive and friendly, even if the food was of good rather than excellent... more

The Esplanade Hotel is one of the more traditionally styled hotels in Pescara and certainly the attractive exterior harks back to a time of elegance and style. The staff are friendly (with reasonable English skills for those linguistically challenged in Italian!) and helpful (a faulty shower head was replaced quickly without fuss) and housekeeping reached a high standard. Breakfast was... more

L'aspetto esteriore è davvero bellissimo, ma l'interno è una specie di assurdo kafkiano. Le stanza sono brutte, vecchie, sporche, piccole... more
