This hotel is so out of the ordinary that the cookie-cutter point system used here doesn't do it justice. A holiday experience is often more than the sum of its parts, and Riccione Beach Hotel is a perfect example. The extraordinary warmth and accessibility of the management (it is a family run hotel) quickly make up for and surpass any hesitancy a hotel chain traveler might expect. Each room is a theme decorated, sometimes a bit quirky and unexpected, so one's initial impressions (if one expects a standard, banal facility) will quickly be overturned for the better after just very short time at this hotel. A sumptuous breakfast was included in the price of the room, with every member of the staff anxious to make certain you had enough to eat and a wide variety of choices. The dining room, "welcome room/bar" are furnished "family style" with sofas, comfy chairs, books, and someone from the family always ready to chat and accommodate one's every need. The hotel also provides a free pass for the beach facilities for the entire family. Bikes are offered for free use. The hotel was filled with visitors for all over the world. The cleaning staff were exceptional, present for most of the day and very accommodating to the guests while getting the job done. Any need I had was quickly responded to, with a genuine sense that my satisfaction and comfort was at the forefront of everyone's concerns and responsibility. But be forewarned -- to enjoy this experience, be ready to be open an to engage a genuine family and a unique individualized experience. If you want something other than that, perhaps it is not the place you should choose, but honestly I saw no one who did not seem to be absolutely happy and at ease during their stay. This is a real experience, with genuine people seeking to please, when I return to Riccione one day, it will surely be my choice of residence.

I'm a nervous traveler, so when my initial expectations are not immediately met, I tend to panic. There were one or two things about my room that were unexpected, but in just a few short hours all my hesitation vanished and any doubts I had were immediately pushed aside as everything was resolved to my satisfaction so quickly and earnestly that I would say that the thing I like least was MY OWN initial hesitancy!!

Outstandingly marvelous breakfast, like home athmosphere, really cosy, breathtaking accomodation. Best staff on our way through Italy. Will come back if have way through Riccione/Rimini region/beaches again... Love it! :))) <3

Foods,location and the staff!

Good service host is polite. Clean rooms.

Very friendly staff

Style is not my style. The whole atmosphere is like the sixties. Flowers on the wall painted. A mixture of strong colours. Not my style. Photos show all kind of things that are not connected to the hotel.

Location was good

Shower was tiny, breakfast/brunch was unappetising. I would prefer less selection but better quality.
