“Interesting Retro Hotel”

This place is unique and funky, if a little dated. The location is good within a few minutes drive or a challenging walk up to the old city, and parking is available.

This place is unique and funky, if a little dated. The location is good within a few minutes drive or a challenging walk up to the old city, and parking is available. The suite we had featured an outstanding view of the valley below and a whole wall of windows. It also had a massive hot tub, easily big enough for two people to stretch out in- which we used and loved. Those two features alone make it a good value. On the flip side, the design is not very practical, e.g. no power connections near the bed, bathroom extremely tight and no ventilation, older furnishings. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was modest but had some nice freshly baked dark croissants made from vegetables. Overall, seems like a good choice for a visit to this beautiful tiny country.

“No 4 stars here”

bottom line: it’s an ok THREE stars hotel. So if the price is right, it worth considering . Couldn’t find the 4th star (-: (it’s more like 3 stars hotel). This iDesign hotel is of a very bad design: the room and bathroom are larger than average and yet both are half empty and there is no table … more

bottom line: it’s an ok THREE stars hotel. So if the price is right, it worth considering . Couldn’t find the 4th star (-: (it’s more like 3 stars hotel). This iDesign hotel is of a very bad design: the room and bathroom are larger than average and yet both are half empty and there is no table of any kind and no place to sit. There are not enough surfaces to put stuff in either. The TV is tiny and so is the shower “cubical” (which doesn’t have hand shower (only very big shower head). No lotion, no facial tissues, no coffee/tea in the room. Thinnest towels I ever encountered: picture big kitchen towel. No gym or a pool. The free parking is a street parking . Breakfast was underwhelming (we had better in 3 stars hotels ). And no, the 2 little water bottle in the smaller than normal fridge are NOT complimentary… The door to the room does NOT block any noise from the hallway (so bring earplugs) and the curtains let the sun. About a mile /1.5 km uphill to San-Marino’s historical center. Nice people.

“Uncertain what to make of this quirky hotel”

We stayed here for one night in January 2023. We took a taxi from Rimini station at a cost of 55 euros (it took about 25-30 minutes). The hotel ordered us a taxi for the return trip, and that cost 60 euros. The hotel is quite quirky and unique with its "design" characteristic. For example, the … more

We stayed here for one night in January 2023. We took a taxi from Rimini station at a cost of 55 euros (it took about 25-30 minutes). The hotel ordered us a taxi for the return trip, and that cost 60 euros. The hotel is quite quirky and unique with its "design" characteristic. For example, the lift lighted up with different colours, while in the room itself the walls around the bathroom were glass with light curtains. I appreciate that some people like that type of thing, but it wasn't really my style. The hotel is located about 2 km from the historic centre. We walked to the historic centre, which took about half an hour and was uphill. Walking back down was a lot easier. If you plan to arrive by bus, it might be a bit of a challenge walking to the hotel if you're carrying suitcases. However, there were plenty of buses on the route from the hotel to the centre, and I'm sure you could order a taxi. There is a laundrette right beside the hotel and a take-away place a few metres away. The Walter e Lella restaurant/bar is about 200 metres away. In the evening, we ate a pizza there and had a drink. It appeared to be a popular place, so it might be worth booking in advance. Other than that, it appeared that there was not much else around the hotel. It is in a mostly suburban setting, which makes it ok if you have a car, but on foot it's not all that convenient. The room itself was clean, although the glass surround and light curtains around the bathroom just wasn't my thing. If you need to get up in the middle of the night and need to turn a light on, that could disturb other people. I know that it's meant to be stylistic and part of the quirky nature of the hotel, but it affected privacy. Our room faced the street and we had absolutely no problem with noise. There was a small safe in the room and a TV which was not all that big. The breakfast buffet was good. There were no hot dishes, but just the usual cold selection: bread, pastries, cereals, ham, cheese, fruit, juice, croissants etc. The good thing is that they have a proper coffee machine and they made me the best cappuccino that I've had so far in Italy! All the staff members in the hotel were polite and helpful.
