Hotel Cristallo in Riccione

Can the central location of the hotel be enough to justify all the negatives? In my opinion not. the environments are dated, in the rooms the worst aspects. There are only blackout curtains on the windows so during the day it sends privacy. the mattress is springy and very uncomfortable. The bathroom is old, several damages to the tiles, old taps. Broken wall hair dryer. Noisy air conditioning system, it broke for a whole day. Difficult to adjust because still with old manual thermostat. Kettle and tea corner absent. Breakfast of poor quality, salty species and little variety of fruit. Missing dried and seasonal fruit. Missing bacon, two types of cured meat and one of cheese. There isn't a swimming pool, there is no corner for children or at least one is not available. The staff is polite but not welcoming compared to the famous Romagna hospitality. Ultimately an older hotel of maximum three stars to be generous. Week stay, so had time to observe and evaluate all aspects. I would not go back.

The room is not so clear.
