Хорошая 3шка с небольшими минусами. Good 3shka with a few cons.

We were at the hotel from July 13 to July 27.2008. We went to travel around Italy, and not lie on the beach, left early, arrived late, sometimes did not spend the night at the hotel, there were corresponding requirements for the hotel.
We lived on the third floor with a direct view of the sea. The room is moderately spacious, large by Italian standards. Large balcony.
In mid-July, the hotel was 50-60% full, by the time we left, almost all the rooms were occupied. The hotel is clean, daily cleaning of rooms and common areas, regular change of linen and towels, a really large swimming pool, a terrace on the 4th floor, there was not a single complaint against the staff, everything is clear, polite and with a smile.
There is a bus stop near the hotel 12, on foot to the railway station through the park and under the railway tracks 20 minutes on foot. A free shuttle bus to Le Befane shopping center stops every hour at Tripoli Square, adjacent to the hotel.

The building of the hotel houses a cult place among local youth - the Bounty restaurant-pub, every evening there is live music and crowds of people who want to enter. Despite this, it does not interfere with the hotel in any way, with the windows closed, absolutely nothing is heard, moreover, the main audience of the hotel is grandparents with grandchildren.
The staff practically does not speak Russian, however, he does not know English very well)) although you can always explain yourself on your fingers. Several times the waiter tried to talk to us in Russian, not only did he not understand anything, but when he tried to speak in English, he became nervous and hurriedly retreated. Huge beach, nice, fine sand.
The location of the hotel is excellent, you can walk to the main attractions of Rimini, at worst, take the bus (10 tickets for 8 euros), buy at the railway station. After 22.00 people go out into the streets, the main movement around the hotel and towards Riccione.
In general, the hotel left a pleasant impression. Now for the cons. The main downside is the food! It turned out that for the first time we went with paid breakfast and dinner. I strongly recommend not to repeat our mistake. Breakfast is quite poor - 3 kinds of sausage, one (! ) kind of cheese, coffee from the machine, 2 kinds of buns, boiled egg, bananas, peaches, two kinds of juice from the machine.
Dinner is even worse) during dinner, a menu is issued for the current date and the next day, where you mark the required dishes from 6-7-8 positions, it seems to be not bad, right? We were served by an elderly Italian woman, always smiling, everything was done quickly, but often brought not what was ordered, due to poor eyesight and lack of glasses and complete lack of knowledge of English. However, on the second day we found a common language with her. The quality of food for dinner is poor, if not terrible, often the food required freedom%) Among the guests of the hotel were our compatriots, a young mother with a child for dinner ordered almost the entire set + gathered fruit, perhaps the only way to feed the child with anything then edible.

As I wrote above, there was also a waiter who constantly interfered with the hotel guests, on the second week of our stay, he mistook us for just arrived and began to explain in broken Russian what you can order, perhaps only this moment really pissed us off.
Otherwise, a very good hotel!
