Hotel Accademia

I always mean to write a review after a good or bad stay at a hotel, but always seem to put it off, until now! The Hotel Accademia and particularly the staff (Antonella, Oana & Barbara) have just given us our most relaxing and personal holiday ever. As soon as you arrive, which in our case was 3 hrs early, nothing is too much trouble, and all the staff know your name, offering breakfast and drinks whilst our room was being prepared - with a different type of pillow for each of us, chosen beforehand when Antonella emailed to ask if there was anything we would like to make our stay more comfortable, (I began to have a good feeling when that arrived!!) We travelled with our 15 year old son, and found that as opposed to Rimini and their busy roads, Rivabella beach was almost traffic free, and only 50m from the beach, so we were happy he could come and go from the beach to the hotel as he pleased. You will always find someone cleaning or gardening 24 hrs a day here, and the bathrooms are beautiful. If you stay anywhere else in Rivebella you will be disappointed i promise you. i will recommend this to anyone staying in Rimini, and would definitely stay here next time I am in Rimini.

We spent a wonderful and relaxing summer week at the Hotel Accademia. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and attentive so don't bother if you're not familiar with Rimini and its surroundings and what to do, where to eat, etc. - Antonella, Oana, and Barbara will be glad to help you out. The hotel is located in a quiet area in Rivabella, Rimini, but still very close to the beach (less than a minute's walk) and restaurants. Downtown Rimini is reachable within a few minutes with bike, bus, or car or by a 20 minutes walk. We will for sure return to this lovely hotel and can just warmly recommend it to anyone.

We had a great 2 night stay here. The hotel staff was extremely friendly, the room was very clean and the hotel itself was also very nice. Breakfast was splendid, with lots of Italian pastries. The hotel is very close to the beach - less than 100 yards, and it was very quiet as well.One minor issue a very weak wireless internet signal in our room - we had to sit on the balcony to get any signal at all. Overall, we only wish we could have stayed longer!

Offered a complimentary drink on arrival, a choice of rooms, another drink a few days later and always greeted with a smile. Perhaps the best customer service I've had in a hotel.

The hotel staff is extremely friendly and the proximity to the ocean is a plus. The breakfast buffet was well stocked. I had no complaints about this hotel or its location.

Close to the Rimini beach. Wonderful breakfast with homemade pastries.

We were delighted with our stay at this hotel. The room was comfortable and well-maintained. We enjoyed having the small balcony. All members of the staff were friendly and quite helpful, providing a variety of information concerning Rimini and its surroundings. The breakfast was ample with offerings including fresh fruit, cooked items, and an interesting variety of baked goods. There is a fairly large area reserved for parking of hotel guests, probably an important plus in high season

The staff is just great. They are amazing. Hotel is well located close to beaches in a quiet neighborhood, but close to restaurants. Room was of good size, clean, everything worked. Breakfast was a real breakfast. Absolutely no complaints. The best is the staff. They make you feel welcome and they do what they can to may your stay an enjoyable experience. Definitely the place to stay in Rimini.

I've stayed in hotels all over Italy, and I must say this is by far the nicest over all that I have experienced. Many of the hotels that call themselves 4-star are not what the typical US traveler would expect. They seem to put all their effort into the lobby/ public areas of the hotel, and leave the guest rooms little more than cramped, sparsely furnished and gloomy. Not so at the Accademia. From the outside it looks very nice. Understated elegant. The lobby is no different. We were cordially greeted and while our documents were being processed we were offered an "aperitivo" or refreshments. We were lead by the espresso bar to a dining room that offered finger foods, olives, cheeses, ect. Spumante (Italian champagne) and wine was also offered, all complimentary. When finished we were escorted to our room by the young lady working the front desk. The room was very nicely appointed, even offering a "pillow menu" of about a dozen different selections. The bathroom was large, comfortable and nicely appointed. "Rain" shower, bidet, and heated towel rack. The bed room opened to a elevated courtyard with chairs and a koi pond. Also had an attached room with two daybeds, so could have easily slept 4 guests Inclusive breakfast buffet was very nice and tasty. They even had scrambled eggs and bacon for we Americans. I was in Rimini for a trade show in January, and the hotel is located less than 10 minute drive from Rimini Fiera.

I spent two nights at Hotel Accademia and I had a really relaxing time. I arrived late at night, told the taxi driver where I was going and he knew exactly where to go. The breakfast was ample and there was something for everyone. The staff was exceptionally helpful, nothing was too much to ask. I really felt looked after by staff at Reception and in the dining room; thank you ladies! Eleanor was just amazing. I just mentioned in passing that I liked the pudding I had for breakfast, the 'giallo zafferano'. I came back in the evening to discover that she had taken the trouble to find the recipe on the Internet and had left it with her colleagues to give to me as I was leaving the next day and she was off duty. The room was very comfortable and clean, with fresh towels and toiletries. The thermostat control worked perfectly adding to the overall comfort of the room. I will definitely stay at Hotel Accademia again if I visit Rimini again.
