Grand Hotel Rimini

This Hotel is trading off its historic reputation and is definitely not grand. Do not go. The hotel is very dated very shabby the rooms are unwelcoming . Plugs loose not working ac toilet seats that don’t fit.. We ended up leaving early to the palace in Milano marrittima which is actually owned by the same parent company and it was a completely different experience. The palace was absolutely wonderful. Go there instead!!

Wonderful iconic hotel with delightful service. The dinner on the terrace with entertainment is not to be missed. The gym is the worst I’ve ever seen in over 1,000 hotel stays: the one machine was broken all four days and it probably has been and will be. There are five dumbbells, two sets and an orphan. I know it’s Rimini, but for any hotel, let alone The Grand, this is unacceptable.

The Grand Hotel Rimini is a stunningly gorgeous hotel at a prime spot along the Rimini coastline. The service is top notch, the pool is lovely, and the beach area is perfect. The breakfast buffet is very nice and the people working there provide attentive and personal service. The hotel also offers cute bikes that you can use without charge. I'm not in the habit of tipping cleaning staff but I made an exception since my cleaning staff member was superb and consistent through my stay. I would say this hotel earns its five-star status. Wi-fi service is spotty, not good enough to have a zoom call. It is weak and drops constantly in the room. Wi-fi is better in common areas and I was not the only one using my laptop in the hallway. The room (#410) also had a musty smell that appeared to be systemic and unaffected by the excellent cleaning service. My nose adjusted within a few minutes each time I entered but it's not a great first impression.

Beautiful hotel with excellent service. Breakfast was delightful in a beautiful space full of light.

Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stayed at the Grand Hotel Rimini and it was an absolute delight. This iconic Belle Époque landmark (a true piece of history that inspired Fellini) exudes elegance and charm from every corner. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and beautifully appointed with that perfect mix of classic style and modern comfort. But the breakfast… oh my! Easily the best breakfast ever — a lavish, gourmet spread in stunning historic halls with everything from fresh pastries and made-to-order dishes to an incredible variety that felt like a feast every morning. Clean, luxurious, and full of soul. A memorable stay in Rimini! Would return in a heartbeat.

Classic 5 star, beautiful property, beautiful grounds, helpful friendly staff, upscale, 50 yards from the promenade beach area, walkable to old town, great place to people watch, saw some heavy hitters, Ferrari, Mercedes, I had a great time.

Excellent location

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.

The staff was always wonderful and helpful.

Great hotel

I would not stay here again. Whilst the building was stunning and the room we were in had been upgraded, there were so many problems. Our aircon didn’t work on the 1st night, there was excessive noise all 3 nights from outside, you could hear people talking in the next door room, their dog was barking and crying all night and then to top it off, we were charged to use the beach which it doesn’t say on hotels.com. I wouldn’t recommend for a relaxing stay

The hotel Is lovely and an OK location, but the service especially from the front desk was downright rude. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The attitude towards me as a guest was sustained and inconveniencing them when asking simple questions. If you are thinking of booking the hotel because they have their own beach…be warned that is a minimum of €85 per person per day extra. The other beaches on the strip are around €20-40. This is just gouging. Might be why their area is almost empty the entire time and the other places packed.

The property is beautiful and certainly looks five star, but the service unfortunately falls far below five star. There was no introduction to the hotel from the staff which would have been nice to known (like that the spa is pre-booked only and not included). They didn’t know how much the sun loungers cost, what was on the food menu etc which could indicate high staff turnover as they didn’t seem aware of any of the key facts. The worst aspect of the trip was that they had a private party with loud music until past midnight which was extremely inconvenient to guests who wanted to go to bed before this time. We spoke to Valentina at the desk who shrugged and said there is nothing they could do. Fortunately, the manger stepped in and relocated us to another room away from the loud music. However, the new room didn’t have working air con and the reception desk needed to be contacted four times to switch it on. We slept really badly due to the heat in the room. Overall the impression was that the staff don’t care and they lack experience. You can’t be a five star hotel and offer two star personnel services at these prices. There is serious staff training issue that needs to be addressed. They hotel needs to decide who is more important, the private function or the guests? They are trying to keep both happy and it’s not working. When we complained in the morning all we got was €10 off the price which is a bit of a joke given how much the rooms cost and how poor the service was

Air conditioning did not work. Otherwise, a very nice hotel.

Srunnign property. Right on the sea front. Well maintained pool and garden. I opted for half board. Worth it, the food was outstanding. Staff are lovely and very friendly. I didnt want to leave.

Great hotel and really nice and highly qualified staff especially Mrs. Margarita. She was very helpful and kind. Is rear in this time to meet such a hardworking and generous people! Highly recommend!
