Hotel Gabbiano in Rimini

Absolutely the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in.

No air conditioning (even after reporting it three times – they didn’t care). The A/C can only be controlled from reception, and they never bothered to turn it on properly. Same with the minibar fridge – it was completely useless - not working!

Rooms are tiny, suffocatingly hot, and the breakfast is a joke: zero options, everything was cold, stale and rock-hard. The “chocolate” was a gluey mess, and the coffee was weirdly greenish – absolutely undrinkable.

The area is nice, if you like 70-80 years ago holiday

In water it feels like you're boiling in soup!!!!

Sunbeds on the beach cost €40 per day if you want front row access. Almost all restaurants open only after 6 PM – unless you’re desperate enough to eat the disgusting kebab, which I wouldn’t recommend even if you’re starving. Shops don’t even turn on lights – they’re “saving energy.” It’s depressing.
parking 15€ per day -10 min walk
reception not exist ( is in the next hotel)

We had booked 3 nights, but we left after just one – it was that bad.
Stay far, far away from this hotel. Never again.
i dont know why i cant add photos!!!

The “chocolate” was a gluey mess, and the coffee was weirdly greenish – absolutely undrinkable. The area is nice, but it feels like you’re boiling in soup – the heat is unbearable and there’s no escape in this hotel. Sunbeds on the beach cost €40 per day if you want front row access.

Being a hotel on a first line turned out to be a big disadvantage.

When I booked it, I have not noticed that the beach is for fee. My logic was "private beach" means private to the hotel, but be ready to pay around 20 EUR per day extra. The fact that hotel doesnt have any beach privelages (and we got window facing on parking place), dont even bother to stay first line... waste of money.

Parking: we were thinking is it somehow secured and will be closed at the hotel facility, but it is few blocks away, very expensive. Doesnt look trustable at all. It is just like that in Rimini, I guess.. You need to pay for literally everything.

Reseption: there is no even a reception. you need to go to another hotel to check in and out. super werid.

Breakfast: card says breakfast start at 7, they you were told at the reseption that it is from 7:30. You arrive at 7:30 and there is no breakfast, like wtfffff.

Night time: IT IS SUPER LOUD, all the music from beach parties are coming to the room. everyday.. till 1-2AM.......
