Arcadia Hotel Macerata

I really didn’t like Arcadia Hotel. From the outside the building looks modern (which doesn't go with the rest of the buildings all around), but once you step inside it’s a different story. The rooms are old—not in a charming way, just tired and in desperate need of a full refurbishment. There’s an air conditioner in the room, but no remote control, so you basically can’t use it. The location is central, yes, but honestly any hotel in this city is “central” because the city itself is small, so that’s hardly a bonus. The place feels cramped and as soon as you walk in you’re met with a flight of stairs and a reception that doubles as the breakfast area—literally one side is check-in, the other is the café. Breakfast was nothing special, just average. The mattress and pillows were incredibly uncomfortable, those awful memory foam ones that don’t suit everyone—I personally hate them. The only real positive about this hotel was the mini fridge: it was quiet, well stocked, and unbelievably cheap. A bottle of water was only 80 cents, soft drinks €2, and snacks €1, which is something I’ve never seen in any hotel. But apart from that, I honestly found the rest of the experience pretty unpleasant and wouldn’t stay here again.

This was my first visit to Macerata for the annual opera festival. The hotel is spread over several floors. It has an elevator from street level to the reception which is handy for luggage. There is a garage for parking, very convenient. The hotel is very well located within walking distance of the main squares, restaurants, museums and the Sferisterio (performance area). ||The hotel is not very modern and is on the more basic side. However, the gentlemen running the hotel and the service in general by far makes up for the slightly older decoration. It is clean, tidy and well organised. For me this is very important. There is no point in staying somewhere that looks amazing but the service is terrible. Everyone at Arcadia is helpful and courteous. The breakfast was excellent with a good choice of hot and cold food, cereals, pastries, fruit etc. Very good and plentiful. ||My room was a good size, clean and very quiet. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was large with a good shower. The aircon worked well. ||I really liked the calm and pleasant atmosphere. Overall, I feel it was good value. I shall definitely stay here again as the festival was so good I will have to go back!

Very simple hotel with basic breakfast in the old town, not far from the Sferisterio arena. |I have forgotten an item in the room and contacted the management on the very next day (several days before Ferragosto). Sent a reminder days later. They never responded.

The hotel is right in the center of the old city of Macerata, easy to access and has a parking (which definitely helped!). The staff were super friendly and gentle and gave good information on where to go and eat.|The hotel itself is simple but super clean and much better than others I’ve been to on the area.|It was a really good experience.

Very nice Hotel with a lot of facilities and polite staff. I have stayed there and I had a good time. Tanti saluti a Giorgio e Donato.

The room furniture and facilities (e.g. TV, wardrobe, bed covers, etc ) are very much 60s without being vintage! Breakfast is quite good, particularly cakes. The people at the reception are very nice and try to help. The location is super both if you are in Macerata for a show at Sferisterio theatre or if you just want to visit the city, everything is within 10 minutes walk.

L'hotel è abbastanza spartano, forse in linea con quello che offre Macerata ma 80 euro per quella camera mi sembra davvero eccessivo! Per raggiungere l'hotel preparatevi ad una scarpinata infinita di scale in salita. Il titolare cmq è stato gentile nel dare indicazioni precise scritte. La camera era stata prenotata con largo anticipo (1 mese e mezzo prima del soggiorno)e mi era stata proposta dal titolare una camera più ampia bypassando booking. Arrivati in albergo invece abbiamo trovato una camera piccola e per invalidi. Non ci sarebbe stato nulla di male se fossimo state informate prima, ma saperlo sul posto mi è sembrata una bella presa in giro. Dopo la nostra osservazione alla reception ci viene gentilmente cambiata la camera, in disaccordo con il titolare. Colazione negli standard anche se una delle due brioches consumate mi sembrava del giorno prima. Il personale è stato gentile e disponibile nel tenerci le valigie per un paio d'ore.

Albergo carino, stanza singola piccola, ma confortevole. Colazione self-service, ricca e abbondante. Soprattutto fresca! L'albergo dispone anche di uno spazio esterno molto carino.
