Mercure Rimini Artis

"I had booked a partial sea view room and was upgraded on arrival to a full sea view - thank you! The room I had was bright and clean with a very comfortable bed, and good bathroom. And there was plenty of space on the balcony. Breakfast was very good and the service friendly, as it was in reception. The location is ideal as it is between the beach (though I didn't use it), and the main street with many shopping and eating options."

"We stayed for 2 nights at Mercure Rimini Artis as part of our road trip through Italy. We are a Danish family who enjoys luxury, good food, and peaceful atmospheres – and overall, we had a pleasant stay. Pros: • The breakfast was the best on our entire trip – varied, high quality, and beautifully presented. • Excellent location right by the beach. You’re allowed to bring hotel towels to the beach, which is a nice touch. • Clean, well-equipped rooms and friendly staff. Cons: • The pool is extremely small and literally right next to a busy and noisy road – not exactly peaceful. Fortunately, we had it to ourselves. • Parking is €25 per day. • The beach is lovely and sandy, but sunbeds and umbrellas are overpriced – we paid €27 for two beds and a parasol. Honestly, it felt like a scam. Overall, we give it 4 stars – mainly for the great location and fantastic breakfast. However, we wouldn’t return, as the atmosphere wasn’t peaceful enough and the pool is far too small for a hotel in this category."

"We were a party of three and stayed at this hotel for 11 nights. The hotel is located close to a great sandy beach, which has organized services, though at a cost for renting sunbeds and umbrellas. There is also easy access to many good restaurants and shops, including supermarket. One notable downside to this location is the very loud music coming from outside the hotel that has been playing on most evenings during our stay. This has been audible in our room despite the relatively soundproof balcony door. Thankfully, this plague stopped around 23:00-24:00. The parking was easily accessible and spacious enough, though we thought the price (25 Euros/day) was high. The puddle facing the street which the hotel designates as swimming pool we thought was inadequate even for dipping in as means to alleviate the heat. This is best not listed as amenity. Service was good everywhere, including housekeeping (special thanks to Mr. Mauro at the reception and Ms. Cristina at breakfast). The room was clean and fairly large, and the balcony was pleasant. Comfortable beds and spacious bathroom. However, the room did show signs of wear-and-tear. Most annoying was the sliding bathroom door, which refused to fully. A disappointing part of our stay was breakfast. The coffee, pressed juice, pastries, cheese and cold cuts were of good quality and the hotel offers some local specialties. However, serving sad-looking or straight-out rotten pineapple and kiwi in the middle of the summer when nectarines, apricots and peaches are abundant in Italy is a very strange choice. Uneaten fruit and sausages were re-served for several days. Releasing a single mini baguette each time was simply annoying and forced us to ask more than once for this hidden treasure. In addition, some staples favored by international tourists, such as peanut butter and baked potatoes, were absent. Overall, the hotel itself is good, though breakfast may be improved. The proximity of the above-listed shops and restaurants, and particularly the beach, makes this hotel a good summer choice."
