Hotels Near Malatestiano Temple in 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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Staff meraviglioso, molto cordiale, disponibile e sempre pronto a soddisfare le esigenze. In questo posto emerge un alto e costante livello di attenzione per il cliente in ogni momento del soggiorno. Il ristorante offre menù a più portate con antipasto a buffet, ampia possibilità di scelta tra primi e secondi e dolci, il tutto ovviamente delizioso. La struttura e le camere sono molto pulite con inoltre il cambio del set di asciugamani quotidiano. Posizione centrale, a due passi dal mare. Hotel convenzionato con bagno 43 dove ci siamo trovate benissimo Lorella e Roberta

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.

My husband and I stayed one night in this hotel at our wedding anniversary. The structure is very beautiful, modern, I appreciated the room, cleaning and the availability of staff, not to mention the seafront position. On the site, however, it is stated that they have this Panoramic Terrace front of the Sea where they serve typical and aperitive tastes in summer. I would have liked to enjoy this service to begin the celebrations well, but on our request they told us that it was not possible without giving reason. Since it was July 13, so the summer season, I don't understand why. The hotel was very nice and the hotel was very nice and the hotel was very nice and the hotel was very nice and the hotel was very nice and the hotel was very nice and the hotel was very nice and the hotel was very nice.

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 !

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).

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~

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.

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.
