A week ago we returned from Rimini. Hotel "Grand meeting" was chosen according to the reviews of tourists on the Internet. We needed an inexpensive hotel, not pretentious, with a convenient location, clean, on the first line. We planned to combine a holiday on the beach with trips to Italy and excursions. The hotel fully complies with all these parameters. We were given a triple room for two. The room has three beds, a large wardrobe, TV, a balcony with a table and a couple of chairs (you can smoke there). The bathroom is quite spacious, equipped with a toilet, bidet and shower. Throughout the stay, hand soap and shower gel were in abundance: in special hotel blocks. Bring your own shampoo and toothbrush. Towels were changed every day, 4 per person. Cleaning was done every day, only when we were not in the room, while no one took our things. The safe can be used with a deposit of EUR 10 per stay. This money was returned to us upon departure, in exchange for the key to the safe. There is no refrigerator in the room, but you can rent it, also for about 10 euros per week. But it turned out to be unnecessary for us, because. literally 5 meters from the hotel, across the road, full of shops, cafes and bars, and the hotel has a bar.
Now about the beach. The hotel has its own. For renting an umbrella and a sun lounger, you have to pay something around 5 euros a day, but we didn’t take them, but simply sunbathed on our towels nearby. No one drove us away: the guide explained to us that in Italy there is a law "5 meters of beach at the water's edge is a free zone, you can swim for free on any beach. " But if you use the charms of a well-groomed private beach - if you please, pay. The sea itself in Rimini is very shallow, it takes a long time to go to the depth. For me personally, this is a minus, but for parents with children it is very convenient.
Breakfasts at the hotel are typical "continental": coffee, tea, cocoa, juices, croissants, sausage, cheese, butter, jam, cold pizza, lasagna, etc. Don't expect fresh fruits and vegetables. However, we were quite full. More densely we went to eat in neighboring restaurants and cafes. Before an early excursion to Venice, we warned the porter in advance, and we were fed early in the morning, of course, not so varied, but we received yogurt, coffee, an egg and a croissant.
As for restaurants and cafes. Every day we visited different establishments, about which we read positive reviews on the Internet. I would give 10 points to the Carlos restaurant, which is located at stop number 21 (we walked 10 minutes to the hotel). Both the service and the menu are excellent. Our average bill was 38 euros for two with wine and dessert. Opposite it is the restaurant "Riva", it was recommended to us by our guide. It is simpler there, although the price level is comparable to Carlos. Next to the hotel is "Fronte mare", aka "Zodiac". There, for 14 euros per person, you can eat anything, a buffet. But it's very tasteless. We didn't go again. Across the street from the hotel is "Roxybar". In our hotel they give him a 10% discount card. There the atmosphere is simpler, but a very good menu, everything that is ordered is very tasty, there are Russian-speaking waiters, the average bill is 25 euros.
In general, I can say that we were satisfied with our hotel. Both the service and the hotel itself are quite consistent with their 3 stars. Everyone is polite, smiling, ready to fulfill any of your requests. Clean. It is easy to get to the city center: bus number 11 runs from early morning until about 1 am, according to the schedule, very often. Drive about 15 minutes to stop number 5. And most importantly: during the entire stay, no one spoiled our mood! I think this is very important on vacation. For those who do not overspend, I highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is modest. The rooms are not big, some blue bedspreads. There is a TV with one Russian channel, a refrigerator, internet in the hall - 2 euros (to reset the photo you need a wire). The interior of the room leaves much to be desired. The only advantage is the first line. We left the hotel and already on our beach.

My husband and I came to Rimini to go from there to Venice, Rome, San Marino. If lying on the beach is not the most important thing for you, then you can find a hotel on the second and third lines. To everyone reading my note, travel on your own. Self. a trip to Venice cost us 100 euros for two, when the travel agency offered 100 euros per person. Don't be afraid of explanations that you will get lost at the station, you will leave in the wrong direction. Everything is clear - time, transfer points. But you don't depend on anyone. There are 2 girls at the reception who speak Russian - this is +.

Grand Meeting Hotel, where I stayed last summer, from 25.06. 2011-02.07. 2011, I liked the location the most. And the hotel is located on the very seashore, and from 8 in the morning I already basked on the beach, and in the evening, in my room, I fell asleep under the rustle of the waves. My room was not large, but homely, clean, with a balcony and a sea view.

And the hotel is located on the very seashore, and from 8 in the morning I already basked on the beach, and in the evening, in my room, I fell asleep under the rustle of the waves. My room was not large, but homely, clean, with a balcony and a sea view. The room was cleaned daily, until you return from breakfast, everything is already clean, and the bed is made, and the towels are clean. Friendly staff, beautiful interior of the hotel, good food - everything you need for a good holiday. There were 8 people in our excursion group, and a Russian-speaking guide. And in Pisa, a local guide was waiting for us. I, like most tourists who come to Pisa, wanted to see only the famous Leaning Tower, but I could not even imagine that it was only part of the ensemble located on the Square of Miracles (Campo di Miracoli). In addition to the Tower on the square, you can see no less beautiful and, I must say, also tilted Cathedral of St. Mary of Assunta, the baptistery and the cemetery of Campo Santo, we also visited the Royal Palace, which once belonged to the patrician family and the Duomo di Pisa Cathedral. In this town, I discovered many beautiful places and architectural monuments that I had no idea about. I was satisfied with the trip to Pisa, and for a long time I was impressed by what I saw!
