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. Im 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 its not a great first impression.

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.
