Hotel Cristallo in Giulianova

Be very careful when buying a room at this hotel, especially if you buy the BIO COMFORT Room. The description and photos of the room will show a room with a sea view. However, you should expect to receive a room with a side sea view. It will simply be a room facing a side street, and if you step out onto the balcony, you'll see the sea to the side. At the reception desk, you'll be told that sea view and side sea view are the same, because you can step out onto the balcony, look to the left, and you'll have a sea view. You should be prepared for very incompetent hotel receptionists. Furthermore, the reception desk has a very crazy rule: the earlier you book a room, the worse the room you'll get. They probably know they'll eventually sell better rooms anyway. You should also be aware that there's major construction underway on the seafront side of the hotel. This construction is being carried out by this hotel, but you won't find any information about it on the hotel website. During my stay, concrete pouring for the foundations and some foundation work were underway. So if you enjoy following construction, this is the perfect hotel for you.

This hotel is totally over rated - the reception staff are very rude - rooms look nothing like the photos - and if you complain they just say their “manager” is not available so they can’t do anything - strongly recommend to avoid
