The Golden Tulip Waldorf in Rimini is a very nice 4 star hotel which offers good value for the money. Location is great -- as it is smack in the middle of the shopping district, with LOTS of places to eat around the corner. Service at the hotel is efficient and polite. Breakfast is very generous, with lots of selection. The view from the hotel is of the beach front. During the summer months the hotel has a spa, roof top pool and restaurant. Please be advised that during the winter months -- none of these amenities are available.

We had a good experience having stayed at this location for two weeks. The hotel is on the main road Vialle Vespucci (This did get very busy with people in the evenings) There are a good choice of restaurants within walking distance. Our room over looked the sea with a very good view, However there was some loud music played in the evenings but the rooms are soundproofed and this did seem quite effective but some of the bass could still be heard. The room very clean with all the bed linen and towels replaced daily. The Breakfast was nice but lacked a little interest, fantastic fresh OJ though! There are two pools one, on the roof and the large one in the gardens, This pool had lessons and classes in the morning lasting until about 2:30PM making this pool unusable, I found this very annoying. Overall we had a very good holiday with the staff very friendly and helpful.

We decided to stay in Rimini as a break from Rome on our way to Venice during the end of September. While the weather was still in the 80's and beautiful, the resort area was pretty deserted and not many people around.... some may like that, but we were hoping for more life.
The Waldorf was just average. The staff was very helpful. The breakfast buffet was nice with many pastries, fruit, etc. The room however was very small and basic. We had requested an ocean view but was told the rate that we booked was for a view out on the street, even though the hotel was obviously not full.
For 100eu, it was one of the cheaper hotels we stayed in on our Italy trip and it was clean, but it was disappointing that it was so dark and crammed.... definitely did not want to spend any time in the room besides sleeping.
The beach is nice however we were charged for the use of the beach chairs and despite being told by the front desk that there would be towels for us, we were told at the beach hut, we would have to buy them.

If you get a deal... its not bad.... there are so many choices along the strip, I'd try something different next time. It may just be this area.... all of the hotels looked alot alike from the outside and we did not take time to go inside any others. But definitely stay on the beach and more toward the middle of the strip for more choices on restaurants and shopping in walking distance. I would not recommend staying at any hotels I saw off of the strip or in the little town... they looked really run down and had nothing around them that tourists would enjoy.

Go in the summer and I'm sure it would be a great time......
