This hotel is one street back from the beach and right in the middle of all the bars and restaurants.

The room was quite spacious, & air conditioned. One thing which did let the hotel down was they lost our laundry (& found it again) due to a mistake made by housekeeping. It took an awful long time to sort out and I felt they were not giving it the required amount of attention.

Rimini is quite an acquired taste I found, with the food not being the best in Italy and all the beaches are private. Each hotel has it's own beach which you have to pay to enter - you can't even walk on the beach unless you walk right to the pier by the Dolphinarium - this is the only public beach. The beach owned by this hotel was 5 euros a day per person which isn't too bad, but some of the others charge up to 12 euros a day.

The weekends are ridiculously busy, we went to four restaurants before we could get a table and then the waiter kept forgetting about us (& other diners, some of who walked out in disgust).

If you are going to go to Rimini, then I suggest you avoid the weekends, and ensure you book a hotel with either a section of beach or a pool of their own.

I never like to do a place down but this hotel took the buscuit. The rooms air con was not operating and the staff would not move us. There seemed to be plenty of room, they just could not be bothered. One of us locked themselves in the toilet within 5 minutes - try explaining that in very broken Italian. The balcony was dirty. Our stay here was part of a 3 week tour of Italy and it was the worst hotel by some stretch. Our fault probably because we tried to get it on the cheap... not worth it. It's true what they say - You get what you pay for!!! Not the Cat's whiskers at all!!
