SeeBay Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
SeeBay Hotel is worth booking if you want a quiet, green setting near the Portonovo bay with a spa, a pool and a strong breakfast. If your plan is to explore Ancona's old town on foot, it is too far out, and a central hotel will serve you better.

SeeBay Hotel is our Best Value pick for Ancona. It is a 4-star with a guest score of 9.1 out of 10, and it balances that score against a price close to the city median.
It suits couples and travellers who want a calm stay with nature around them and a spa, pool and gym on site. Drivers benefit from the free parking listed by the property. The data also tags it as pet-friendly, so ask about rules and fees if you travel with a pet.
Skip it if you do not have a car and want to walk to the city sights. The main landmarks are more than 9 km away.
Location and getting around
The address is Via Poggio 160, in Portonovo, and guests rate the location 9.4. They describe a peaceful setting surrounded by nature, a short walk from the beach and the bay.
The city sights are far. The Loggia dei Mercanti is 9.3 km away, about 116 minutes on foot. Ancona Cathedral is 9.7 km away, around 121 minutes, and the Arch of Trajan is 9.9 km, roughly 124 minutes. For all three you will need a car, public transport or a taxi.
Walking times are straight-line estimates. Beach appears in the property's facilities, but that does not confirm a beachfront position or an exact walking distance.
What guests say
From 878 reviews, the average is 9.1. Breakfast stands out. The data lists continental, Italian, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and buffet options, and guests describe an abundant buffet with homemade pastries, fresh fruit and both sweet and savoury choices.
The setting is the other strong point: quiet, green and close to the bay.
The main complaint is cost. Guests find the restaurant prices reasonable, but several think the room rates and beach costs are high.
Price and what you get, compared with our other two picks
These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates before booking.
SeeBay Hotel was €144 a night, 2% below the sample median of €147.02. Listed facilities include a spa, a pool, a gym, a restaurant, free parking, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a garden and a terrace.
Our Budget pick, Hotel Europa, is a 3-star at €79.60 a night with a score of 8.4. Our Luxury pick, Grand Hotel Palace, is a 4-star at €167.20 with a score of 9.2. SeeBay sits between them in price. Its trade is a quiet setting and a long list of on-site facilities in exchange for distance from the old town.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 10 eligible properties in Ancona. SeeBay Hotel shares the second-highest review score in that sample.
Our Best Value slot weighs the guest score, the number of reviews and the reference price. It is not necessarily the cheapest hotel, and here the mix of a 9.1 score and a near-median price earned the place.
