Reviews for Albergo Arena

Review 1：Proximity of the hotel to the arena - you can sit outside with a drink and hear rehearsals and whatever is on in the evening. Friendly helpful staff, great motorbike parking, bar prices.

Review 2：Wonderful hotel in the center and just a step from Sferisterio Arena where they have Opera festivals in summer. You can actually enjoy an opera from your room or from the courtyard sipping a cocktail. Very welcoming staff, always ready to help. Advised me on nice restaurants close by and not expensive. Breakfast was quite good - with fresh fruit, yogurt, juices, cakes, coffee of your choice. And there is also a bar in the hotel, so after an opera you can go back to the hotel and have a drink there. High-speed Wi-Fi, good-working air conditioning. I am glad I have chosen this Hotel for my stay in Macerata.

Review 3：We were in room 220. The bathroom is small as one would expect. The shower is miniscule with a really tight entrance. I didn't have a tape measure with me, but it was from the tip of my fingers to my elbow, roughly 40cm (16 inches). I am small and just managed it. My husband is not a small man and on arrival we were wondering if we should ask for another room as we didn't think he would fit in, but the room was nice and so he squeezed in.

Review 4：The hotel is located within easy access of everywhere while not being at all noisy. Staff were really friendly and helpful. We initially parked in the Mazzini Piazza to unload luggage and then the hotel directed us to the Sferisterio Parking which cost us 6 euros for 3 days with Sunday free. Breakfast was OK. Nice little bar and seating outside. The opera performers walk past as the little street leads to the back of the arena and they also gathered at the hotel for a quick refresher before the performance. If you are going to the Sferisterio then it is just around the corner and easy to stagger back to when performances finish at midnight! Would highly recommend this hotel if you want small, friendly, easy access, quiet and with everything you need, free WiFi, minibar fridge, air conditioning.

Review 5：Aircon was not very efficient. Bit difficult to find in a car. Google maps needed.

Review 6：Very good value for money. Pretty place. Staff could not be more helpful. Breakfast was lovely. Reception gave us cool water for our car journey when we left which was a nice touch. Highly recommend it.

Review 7：It took us a while to locate where the ordinary, everyday shops were.

Review 8：The hotel was conveniently situated near the centre. For a couple without a car, Macerata offered traditional trattorias, pleasant main square for coffee and watching the world go by.

Review 9：Nothing. All good.

Review 10：Staff - friendly, accommodating. Location is hidden away behind the famous Sferisterio, minutes away from one of the main squares and 'scalette' (steps) Quiet, comfortable and clean. Would make a great base from which to explore the rest of the Marche.

Review 11：Shower room small and plastic cheap shower. Tricky for larger or elderly guests.

Review 12：Location is perfect,spacious rooms, good breakfast, very pleasant staff.

Review 13：Location is perfect -just in the heart of old city, but close to train station ( 5 min by taxi), behind Arena, so quite good for opera lovers.

Review 39：Do not expect much regarding brecfast, and what I resented most was the fact that one day we came by the hotel earlier in the afternoon, around 4:00pm, and the heating was turned of. We have been freezing in the hotel until they started heating again arround 7pm.

Review 40：The location of this hotel is superb for staying in Macerata. Hotel staff are very nice and helpfull even if some of them have a hard time speaking English. Rooms are big enough, everything is clean, beds are comfortable.

Review 41：No space in bathroom to put one's toiletries, but that's a minor thing.

Review 42：Nice location in centre of old town, close to everywhere. Smiling, welcoming staff. Compact but comfortable room with a lovely balcony. Moderate, but very nice breakfast buffet.

Review 43：It is a very noicy location! Till 03:00 loud outgoing public.

Review 44：The location is, at first(!), ideal going to the opera but: if you would like to take a nep before or sleep 8 hours, it's impossible as the loud stage builders are working in front of your window!

Review 45：Very calm, nice and comfortable. if you are going to get there by car, be ready to driving throw narrow streets, but friendly attitude of staff will be a great compensation.

Review 48：When I arrived 8 pm I tried to take a hot shower, but it was imposssible, because the hotel fotgot to swich on the heaters and hot water. More over heaters were cold in my room. Outside was rainy and cold 5 degreees)

Review 49：Quite tricky to get to the hotel by car, including a very tight turn into Vicolo dello Sferisterio, if you're driving a larger car. Rather a small breakfast room - can get a bit crowded. This is not a luxury hotel but it is good value for what it is.

Review 50：Excellent central location, very friendly staff, good value all round package. Free Wifi throughout the hotel. Very useful car parking facility. Macerata is off the tourist beat, but a lovely town.

Review 51：Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was great (it took only ten minutes to go to University of Macerata where the conference was held) and the breakfast was good too. If I have a chance to visit there I will choose this again!

Review 52：There was nothing that we did not like.

Review 53：We loved that the Albergo Arena is directly behind the Sferisterio. Aswe were going to the opera. We could almost touch those ancient wallsfrom our room. We arrived from the United States and had a lot ofluggage (as we were just beginning our stay in Italy). When the man atthe front desk saw all of our luggage, he laughed (as did we....we knowwe travel with too much!), and he asked if we (we are travelling as 2couples) would like to see their 2 bedroom/2 bath apartment as it wasmore spacious. It was perfect. It was very hot and the airconditioningworked beautifully. My husband and his friend were able to sit outsideon the patio at the table directly outside of our apt. And smoke theircigars (which we, the wives, hate :-). I definitely would stay at theAlbergo Arena again.
