Book Cologna hotels

Excelent. Recommended. Clean.

Good location

Was not notified about the renovation No elevator. Noise and no proper entrance

There was no toilet paper, no toilet seat, not tissues, no paper or plastic cups. I got one towel. The bed springs made sleeping uncomfortable. Heat/AC worked well and the balcony was nice.

Great location on the beach among other six and seven story hotels. Likely was an elegant, refined hotel when it was built now slightly worn and out of fashion. With that said, the rate I paid was so low I was surprised how nicely kept the place is. Included in the very affordable rate was an extensive, very good breakfast Buffett that offered scrambled eggs, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, an array of meats, fruits, yogurts, breads, and pastries and coffee to order in a dining room with panoramic views of the Adriatic. That alone was worth Euro 15-20. The staff was exemplary.

When we arrived for our 5-night stay, personal issues only allowed for a 3-night stay. While we clearly understood the hotel's cancellation policy, hotel personnel Nicholas indicated any penalty would be waived at check-out for which we were incredibly thankful, so we proceeded to make our alternate plans. Unfortunately, the night before check-out we were advised we would need to pay for all 5 nights. We contacted Expedia who reached out to the hotel, but the penalty could not be waived as was clearly indicated at check-in by hotel personnel Nicholas. While Nicholas might have not had the authority to waive the penalty, we believe San Benedetto del Tronto Smeraldo should have honored what was conveyed at check-in. This disappointment obviously stained our stay at Smeraldo, making it very difficult to recommend this hotel going forward.
