Hotels near Malatestiano Temple, Rimini

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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We got a very good room rate during the off season which provided excellent value (not sure we would say the same if we visited in July or August when room rates are extremely high). The room was spacious and comfortable and the breakfast was above expectations. The staff were very helpful providing us with an early check in and kindly gave us an upgrade. The hotel is in a great location on the beach and in the middle of Rimini shops and restaurants.

A row of hotels on the beach, 2 minutes walk to the beach, The night market downstairs is very lively, there are many restaurants and fruit shops, very convenient, The weekend Champions League final, the young people watching the ball on the beach is very lively, there is a party after the end, suitable for people with nightlife The room is small, the health is OK, there is a small balcony to see the sea view.

They booked for a trip with our friends and dogs starting from the assumption that they arrived there did not even find the bookings with paid breakfast ( a little old man ) When we talk about breakfast already from the first day we found that not all the products were fresh ( brioche ) coffee in our opinion is not good ... they should be checked !!! Handsets on 4 changed 2 other two dirty left and once presented to the owner did not even take the rush to change them but he said I had to make 3 floors without a lift to bring them to him 😤!! I to not talk about high music finishes at 3 p.m. in the rooms below and the continuous passage of buses and machines ... where it was impossible to rest a nightmare !!! only positive note is that the dogs were welcomed well by the young girl .. and comfortable nearby beach ! Sure experience to not repeat !

My wife and I stayed here last week for one night - but would love to come back and stay longer. Very near the amazing long beach south of Rimini (less than a block from the water). Rooms are very clean, new from the looks of things. Bed was very comfortable, bathroom was decent size as far as European hotels go (have been in hotels with much smaller bathrooms). Best part was the breakfast you get. Cool system they have going - when you check in they give you a menu checklist for the next day's breakfast. Put your room number on it and give it to the front desk staff the night before, and they'll put together what your order is for you the next morning. No buffet spoilage or waste - you get exactly what you asked for. The front desk staff member who checked us in (sorry, forgot his name) was hilarious - he wanted to see LOTS of food being checked off on the breakfast order, and when we handed it in he seemed mock annoyed that it wasn't enough. Very friendly, willing to offer suggestions, call a cab, etc. Would highly recommend the place, although it is far from Rimini's historical centre (about 5 km away). Our room rate was also the cheapest for one night we stayed anywhere in northern Italy, so it helps with keeping budgets reasonable.

The hotel is very nice. Close to the beach. It has a good breakfast. It has also a pool, unfortunately we did noy try to use it in would mark two things that need an improvement: 1. There are no glasses in the room. You can not drink a thing without a glass. 2. The breakfast is excellent, but ussing plastic glasses for drinks in a restaurant is really not ecological. Please chage plastic glass for normal glasses (bicchieri di vetro).

Small, Friendly Staff .. excellent ratio cost/benefit : bravissimi 👏🏻😊 Great location, great gym. The lobby is the perfect location to relax or work. Great Breakfast, loved the quality of the juices and the variety of the cakes: loved the orange cake, next time will ask for the recepie. Grazie!

This is supposed to be a four star hotel but while the staff are mostly very pleasant and helpful and the rooms are clean and comfortable, the place is soulless! The decor is drab and uninviting with little to relieve it. There was a convention on while we were there but there still appeared to be no public areas to sit other than reception or outside, and when we were there it was raining. Dinner was buffet style so we didn’t go there but to a much nicer restaurant opposite The bar is tiny and stuck in a corner with no proper seating. Breakfast is mostly pastries Italian style although there was the option of overcooked bacon and rubbery scrambled egg! Cheese ham and some fruit was also available. Parking was difficult as the garage was full and there is limited free parking on the street outside. The positives are that the position of the hotel is great for a beach holiday as the beach opposite is free and the cleanliness of the place is good. It was fine for a one night stay- if somewhat expensive for what we got- but there are other much nicer looking places nearby if you are staying any longer.
