This was our first holiday abroad in 8 years and it truly couldn’t have been any better. It’s always difficult to know what you’re going to find when you book a hotel online, especially when you’re on a budget. I wanted somewhere that would be in a lively area for my 19 year old daughter, and near the beach for me so I could relax. I read hundreds of reviews about the hotels in Rimini, and Hotel La Gradisca stood out for me. It’s situated in a great location. It’s about a two minute walk from the beach and less than a minute from a myriad of shops, cafes and restaurants. We had great food and great service at: Rossopommodoro (Pizza & Pasta!) Lido (HUGE steaks!), Sbionta (everything!) and there is a fantastic gelateria called 3Bis on the corner, just up from the hotel, which serves the most delicious ice creams! La Gradisca is inspired by the famous Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini. Every room contains artwork that is a tribute to him. Our spacious room was kept clean and made comfortable by two extremely hard-working ladies - Lola and Gabriella. We had two balconies and could see the sea from both. We were on a corner so we could see the sunrise from one balcony and the sunset from the other. I truly can’t praise this hotel and it’s staff highly enough. ALL the staff were friendly, helpful and just lovely. When our flight was delayed and there were no taxis at the airport, night receptionist Angelo came and collected us in his own car and took us to the hotel - and he was genuinely surprised when I tipped him for his trouble. Receptionists; Anna, Alina, and Mary looked after us during the daytimes and they were efficient and delightful! Breakfast was from 7:30 to 11 and there is literally something for everyone. Special shout out to wonderful Marie and Cristina who looked after us in the dining area, every morning. There is a small circular swimming pool at the front of the hotel. It’s not suitable for people who want to swim a lot but it’s perfect if you just want to cool off after sunbathing on one of the hotels sun beds. Be warned, the water was very cold, but I have to say, that didn’t deter my daughter. On Saturday evenings the hotel hosts a little aperitivo for everyone at no extra cost. It’s a lovely way to meet other guests and mingle a bit. There are bus stops about a minute away from the hotel, and you can get to Riccione in one direction and Rimini Centre in the other. In the centre there are many historic places to visit if you are a sightseer, and the Fellini museum is fascinating if you are interested in him or his works. There is a cheap market in town on Wednesdays and Saturdays where you can pick up some real bargains. Also, the train station is in the centre, so you can easily travel to other places if you want to. Anyway, I could waffle on, but suffice to say, if you want a reasonably priced hotel with first-class service - La Gradisca is the place to go! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hat’s off to the Hotel Royal Plaza in Rimini. Nice rooms with the perfect location—a few steps away from the beach and nightlife on the Main Street yet set back just enough to miss the noise and congestion. The staff is available 24 hours a day and the manager, Oana, is always ready to go the second mile to make sure all your needs are met. Will definitely stay again on the next visit to Rimine

This hotel is perfectly located between city centre and the beach. It’s also easy access to train station (10min walk) and bus 9 (airport). The bedroom was fine and bathroom was roomy and shower was good. Air con was pleasant. I didn’t try breakfast or restaurant. The safe had no keys but we eventually found them. My two quibbles: no one answered any of my emails so I had to call to double check they weren’t shut due to COVID 19 or something ; (annoying!) the cleaning starts at 7am, and frankly, the maid is the noisiest person ever. Imagine a hoover on the room next to you at 7am when you went to bed at 2am! The walls are paper thin and you hear the neighbours, which is not great, but cleaning staff can be scheduled for a more godly hour. I had the worst 3 mornings ever, up hours before I intended to be. As many travellers complained and clearly the hotel doesn’t care, I am giving only 3 stars.

This hotel should be called the Imperiale Napoleanic Hotel. It has grandiose ambitions towards 4 stars whilst delivering a very disappointing experience to its guests. Despite the presence of antique items in the reception area, the reality is far less grand, much more in keeping with the uncomfortable plastic thrones on the terrace. Firstly..the room. Shabby, uncomfortable mattress and flat pillows, smelly bathroom with no working extraction system, no complimentary toiletries other than a tiny bar of soap and a shower cap. The fridge is off and empty, no tea & coffee and no drinking glasses. Now to the restaurant..oh dear !!. The decor is totally over the top, overlit to the point of being blinding, and horror of horrors, each table is decorated with a piece of coral in a bowl. Breakfast is supposed to be a buffet. It is not. A table separates the guests from the food trays and one must queue to point to the waiter to indicate what you would like him to place on your plate. My husband was shouted at on the first morning for wrongly picking up a large plate. He angered the waiter again when on another morning, being in a rush and finding no waiters in the restaurant he started to serve himself. What a nerve !!!! I only attended breakfast once. Far too stressful and the offerings are meagre. eg: the only fruits available were prunes and plums which the server handed to you in the tiniest of bowls. The management is not concerned with environmental issues, as the water and watered down juices are served in plastic cups. Why not a glass? The first course at dinner was also supposed to be a buffet. Again, one had to stand back and point to unidentified dishes and be served by the waiter. The next two pre- ordered courses were mostly inedible, followed by a no choice dessert. The staff in the hotel were not particularly friendly or helpful. I hated the atmosphere in the restaurant and if only other places were open nearby, would have eaten out. One evening we met some interesting fellow guests and were finishing off our drinks in the lounge area. At around 11.15 pm a member of management, who I nicknamed Lurkio, passed by a couple of times with a glowering expression and proceeded to turn lights off. There is NO way, in any stretch of the imagination, that this hotel deserves those 4 stars and should be re-assessed, in fairness to other hotels like the nearby Sans Souci which thoroughly deserves them. Don't even think about staying in this one. The only good thing about it is the proximity to the beach and there are plenty of hotels that benefit from that.

The hotel is very clean, on the mountainside, just breakfast. The pool is a bit small~ It’s amazing that there’s no quilt, only a thin layer of sheets, I don’t know if the hotel has heating. We found 2 blankets in the closet and added them together. It’s not too cold~
