Baricella Vacations from ￥69,610

Camere nuove e confortevoli. Colazione variegata ma ahimè con latte a lunga conservazione. Receptionist troppo zelante al limite dell’imbarazzo. Non tornerei piu’.

Wonderful hotel. Great location. Amazing breakfast with a very nice and helpful staff

This was a wonderful place to stay right on the beach. The room balcony overlooked the seea and sand. I will be coming back next summer to stay again.

Review for Grand Hotel Rimini The hotel is beautiful and elegant, with charming architecture and a luxurious atmosphere. Breakfasts were excellent, offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. The overall experience was very pleasant. However, the rooms could benefit from some renovation, as certain elements are starting to show their age. I was quite surprised that in a five-star hotel, complimentary water was only provided on the first day and not replenished daily. There was also no coffee in the room, which is unusual for this level of accommodation. One important note: it’s not advisable to book a sea view room. While the view is lovely, the seaside area is full of nightclubs, and the music can be extremely loud throughout the night, making it difficult to sleep. Also, for international travelers — if you leave the hotel’s immediate area, it can be very difficult to find a taxi. Unfortunately, the front desk is unable to arrange taxi pickups outside the hotel premises. That said, the stay was overall enjoyable, and the staff were polite and helpful.

I had high hopes after reading so many glowing reviews, but in all honesty, I was quite disappointed with my stay. The pool area is very small and the pool itself is plastic, which felt underwhelming. Breakfast was not buffet-style (which I had looked forward to), but served to your table. Unfortunately, every time I ordered scrambled eggs, I was given bacon—I'm vegetarian, so this was particularly frustrating. While some of the food was nice, it wasn’t outstanding as other reviews suggested. Toast was often burnt and dishes lacked flavour. Service was polite and staff were friendly, but there was a clear language barrier with several staff members, which made communication difficult. Clearing tables also took far too long—not something you'd expect from a 5-star establishment. The rooms were definitely the highlight—modern, clean, and comfortable. However, the reception area looked tired, with white decor that clearly hadn’t been cleaned in a while. What really surprised me was that access to the spa facilities (like the steam room and sauna) required an extra fee, despite paying €500 a night. I’ve stayed at many 5-star hotels and have never been charged separately for basic spa access. The hotel entrance also lacks impact, looking more like a 4-star property. Overall, while the stay was pleasant in parts, it does not live up to 5-star standards. It feels more like a 4-star hotel with 5-star pricing.
