Oxygen Lifestyle Hotel

“Highly recommended”

We found Oxygen through the Italy Bike Hotels website. Everything was perfect. Our guide Luca was very knowledgeable and took us to beautiful locations, the bikes were high quality, the food was incredibly delicious, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We loved everything. Big thanks to all!

“Fantastic cycle hire and tour from Oxygen hotel, Rimini.”

This review is all about the bike experience at Oxygen hotel, Rimini. I hired a road bike for 3 days, and also went on a guided ride to Montefiore (about 75km).

This review is all about the bike experience at Oxygen hotel, Rimini. I hired a road bike for 3 days, and also went on a guided ride to Montefiore (about 75km). Ahead of the visit, Luca was really helpful: we discussed the options over email, and I was able to bring my own pedals which they fitted. The bike I hired (Bianchi Aria) was a very nice road bike, beautiful to look at, and well maintained to run smoothly. The day's guided ride to Montefiore with Roberto was brilliant - without him as guide, I would never have found my way out of the city, across the autostrada, or navigated the big roads. Once in the countryside, the region is beautiful; Roberto led me on a great ride through the fields and up to a nice cafe. I had a huge smile all day. If you are a cyclist and want a good ride around Rimini, I highly recommend these guys.

“"Sipping Bliss: A Stay Elevated by Italy's Top Barman, Marco Del Bianco"”

Overall, this hotel was exceptional. I stayed in a suite that was spacious enough for my family of four and our dog. The room featured modern furnishings, safe, toilette amenities, 2 LED TVs and 2 balconies (one in each area) and was impeccably clean. We opted for half-board, and both the breakfas… more

Overall, this hotel was exceptional. I stayed in a suite that was spacious enough for my family of four and our dog. The room featured modern furnishings, safe, toilette amenities, 2 LED TVs and 2 balconies (one in each area) and was impeccably clean. We opted for half-board, and both the breakfast and dinner offerings were outstanding—authentic and scrumptious food options. The menu was replete with a wide variety of antipasti, two or three options for "Primi" and "Secondi," and a delightful selection of fruits, cheese, and desserts. My stay spanned two weeks, and while I wish the menu had been as extensive as our stay, the second week's offerings mirrored those of the first week. Nonetheless, the food remained delicious. My wife, who loves cheese, had however liked a larger variety of it. The wine selection, while not extremely extensive, was thoughtfully curated and fairly priced. Any unfinished bottles were conveniently saved for us until the next evening. The staff were exemplary—from the reception to the restaurant, the cleaning crew, and the night porter—everyone was consistently helpful and professional and going the extra mile for the wellbeing of the guests. A standout for me was the barman, Marco Del Bianco, reputed to be one of Italy's top barmen (a quick Google search showcases his impressive skills). As a cocktail enthusiast myself, seeing him serve at the poolside kiosk felt akin to having Maroon 5 perform at my wedding, reminiscent of their "Sugar" music video. It was simply sensational! So, why the withholding of a perfect rating? There were a few hiccups during our stay. Some were resolved, such as an issue with incorrect bedding in our initial room that led to a two-night temporary arrangement. However, the hotel graciously offered us a room upgrade under favorable terms. Other issues, although minor, like our request for an extra cushion going unfulfilled, remained unresolved. The deciding factor that cost this hotel the coveted fifth star was the complete absence of entertainment during our first week, apparently due to a dispute with the lead animator, resulting in the departure of the entire animation team. While this didn't affect me significantly, it was a noticeable letdown for my family. For families with little children maybe even more. In summary, despite a few areas for improvement, this hotel provided a wonderful experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

“Very average, no way it is 4*”

+ Coffee, croissants, pasta. - This was not what I expected from the photos. Walls had marks of usage (see photos), peeling paint, creaky bed and floor, unattractive balcony (furniture from early 90's), broken shower, bad sound isolation from corridor, no body lotion, no conditioner (only 2 in 1 body&hair wash), there was only one glass for water in family room (so if you are family of three you share 1 glass), no free water bottles, no kettle. General issues: queues to too tiny elevator (and this is at the end of the season), ice cream is nothing like gelato (with water crystals like they were frozen several times), I haven't tasted such bad pizzas anywhere (like bought in supermarket and heated), beach sunbeds/umbrellas are expensive (40€ per day for whole stay, cannot book for one day), beach itself isn't clean (a lot of cigarette butts and plastic pieces in the sand and sea), pool area have nice sunbeds but the pillows are not comfortable (sliding down). We reserved parking in advance voa booking.com and agreed for 10€ per day price, but we had to pay 15€/day when we arrived.
