Life Hotel Seaview & Spa

Just had an amazing stay at this beachside hotel with my boyfriend. Our room had a balcony with an incredible sea view. Everything worked perfectly, though the light switches were a bit confusing at first. The staff were the friendliest and most attentive we’ve ever met. They really made our stay special. We missed out on the spa, but we've heard the massages are fantastic. Book a few days in advance if you want one. The location is ideal – peaceful and relaxing, but just a short walk to the center for more action. We had a great time and didn’t want to leave. Definitely planning to come back!

We booked 2 nights in Life Hotel, expecting a 4 star experience reflected in the cost - €150 per night including breakfast. It fell well below our expectations, worst of all being dinner in the restaurant on the night of our arrival. The real positive of our stay was the breakfast and the staff working at that time - they were wonderful. Our room was comfortable but lacked anything that could be considered 'deluxe' - apart from the fancy lighting system perhaps and a really good shower. The bed was comfortable. A large balcony in our room had 2 upright chairs and a coffee table with an ashtray - more relaxing furniture would have made it a place where you could chill out, watching the sea. There was no such zone to be found anywhere in the hotel. The lowest point was dinner - don't order the hummus as it's a tiny portion and not hummus at all but puree chickpeas with not even a hint of tahini. I ordered fish - branzino gratinato - it was terrible, could have been frozen but was definitely over-cooked. My husband had ravioli most of which was uneaten as it was like cardboard. The side of vegetables was also a sorry affair and went back almost untouched. All of which drew no comment from the waiter - service was perfunctory at best. When we complained to the reception staff they smiled and nodded, nothing more. And then on check out, I was informed that there was an extra charge for parking in the hotel garage - it was the first time I'd heard of the charge and in a hotel asking €150 per night I would have expected it to be included. The spa is also extra, by the way. So, if you're looking for 4-star standards look elsewhere. (we had a fabulous meal in hotel Bianchi Nicola on our second day).

we spent 3 days in the hotel. the first thing we noticed was that the hotel had a high standard of cleanliness and tidiness. good service from staff, who actually manage to speak English..something that is rare in Italy. Only negative was that the shower had some leakage. it was not completely tight. we also regretted a bit that we did not choose a room with a balcony facing the sea. The ones we traveled with had this and they had a great view. if the hotel had room for a swimming pool we would have given the full score. but space for this is probably not possible

Siamo tornati in questo hotel dopo esserci stati lo scorso anno, entrambe le volte come tappa intermedia verso la nostra meta. La camera, una deluxe, quest’anno era piccolissima, comunque pulita. Il personale gentilissimo e disponibile; unico neo la gabella (perché altro non è) di € 10,00 AL GIORNO per ciascun cane ospitato. Intendiamoci bene, sono d’accordo nel far pagare un supplemento a chi possiede un cane, perché se quest’ultimo perde pelo o ha un odore forte è chiaro che la pulizia dovrà essere più attenta. Però il costo deve essere finale, non quotidiano, e, soprattutto, che senso ha applicarlo a ciascun cane? È solo ed esclusivamente una tassazione senza motivo e ciò è, francamente, antipatico. In altri posti fanno pagare, ma hanno almeno il buon gusto di mascherare il balzello offrendo qualcosa in cambio; che ne so, una ciotola, un telo, un sacchetto di biscottini…Al life hotel nulla di tutto questo: € 10,00 a cane al giorno PER NULLA. Inutile dire che difficilmente lo terrò ancora in considerazione.

Una splendida sorpresa...hotel sul lungomare di Porto Recanati con accesso diretto al mare. Prenoto per un week-end con mia madre anziana e con difficoltà di deambulazione. Troviamo all'arrivo una camera familiare con comodo accesso ed una vista impagabile sul mare. Il personale è estremamente cortese ed attento ad ogni singola richiesta. C'è la spa della quale non ho usufruito ma conto di tornare... Ringrazio per la squisita accoglienza e lo consiglio vivamente...un posto meraviglioso dal quale partire per godersi le bellezze della riviera del Conero.
