Kursaal Hotel in Cattolica

Great hotel, real 4 stars, water front room with large balcony. Evidently remodeled top to bottom. Very professional staff, especially Liopoldo and Roberta. Great breakfast. Plenty of restaurants and shops near by, even a beauty parlor for my wife.. And night entertainment next door. One night they had brazilian dancers. Greatly recommended and hoping to be back soon.

Definitely not a 4 star hotel. The inside of the hotel is in need of an update as some parts are quite shabby. We booked a junior suite with sea view and whilst the view is very good the room was just a larger room (quite dated even though it was in the modern extension) with a sofa bed and right above the very noisy Racket Bar. I'm also not sure the plastic flower petals on the bed are appropriate given the current pandemic situation. The creaking and badly fitted doors on the wardrobes need to be sorted as well. There's lots of glass on the outside of the modern extension where we stayed but it's filthy dirty and someone should be cleaning this at least every week. There's a €15 per day charge for parking in the basement which only has access to the hotel via stairs and not a lift. No matter what I tried to do I couldn't get the shower head to stay in a single position. They should consider installing rain showers like most hotels have now. They ran out of fruit on one of the days for breakfast and there were no coffee cups or milk to be found on the other day. I will however say that the staff on reception though are very nice.
