Hotel Fortuna

We came early and got a room at 8 o'clock (instead of 14:00) which was super after a night in a ferry from Split. Hotel well situated across the street from the railway station and our room was luckily facing the hill not the station. Breakfast was good with yoghurt and fruit - but it was amazing how many different cakes and pies were offered.

Reception personnel was always very friendly and helpful. The location is very close to the train station and you have the most important busses close to the hotel. Also Taxi base is right in front of the train station. Next to the hotel you find also a very good restaurant.

We picked this hotel at the last minute because we needed it for one short night and went for something inexpensive. We were surprised to find a very comfortable, clean, quiet room with a newly renovated bathroom. Breakfast was also better than most hotels in this price range. Fresh croissants and choice of perfectly ripe fruit. Coffee and cappuccino served to the table from their bar. Best of all: smiling, efficient staff!

The room had real air conditioning that worked but it was not quiet. At the same time, nothing that a pair of foam earplugs could not eliminate. Location is great for day trips by rail or bus but away from the center of Ancona. The train station restaurant has good food at reasonable prices and can save you a trip into the city center on the bus. There were a couple of other restaurants next door that we did not try but they seemed a little pricey.

Excellent location close to train station and bus routes to tourist attractions and port. Very good breakfast Helpful, friendly staff at reception.
