Hotel berhampiran Parco Ippodromo e Skate Park, Cesena

We had just stayed at the hotel's 4☆ sister hotel Miramonti in Bango Di Romango and were so impressed with the service and food. It was an accident to book Grand Hotel Da Vinci. We were hoping for great things and the hotel lobby and enterence were lovely. We arrived at the impressive gates to the hotel to be told we had to go down a side street to what looked like a piece of waste land. OK, not a big issue. You then have to walk round the back of the hotel, where the staff were all smoking and shouting, where the workmen and bins were. And walk round a tented part of the hotel held together with wood. Not a great first impression. The reception staff were friendly but more proficient than affording personal service, so different to the Miramonti. We were told the restaurant was open for dinner from 19:30-21:00. Later we went back to the reception to book a table for dinner to be told, the restaurant was closed for a private party and we could eat in the room or lobby bar. The lobby bar had no character and literally is just part of the lobby. What 5 ☆ doesn't have another restaurant or the facility to put another room together for guests to dine in?? We were not amused. The room was spacious but a bit well!! Italian OTT. The view was over a roof top. There was 1 welcome cake for two people. No complimentary water nor tea or coffee facilities. Again not really 5 ☆ The terrace and outside pool was wonderful. Really gorgeous and well set out. Must be wonderful in summer. After the wonderful spa at the Miramonti and the thermal spa, we were so looking forward to the pool and spa as it looked stunning in the picture, from a distance it looked nice but it really need attention. Total lack of maintenance and care. See photos. At breakfast, it was 'adequate ', but as there were only a few guests there, it was a good opportunity for the staff service to shine, but we had to ask twice for a person to cook the omelettes, when the waiting staff entered the kitchen their was loud shouting, laughing etc as if there were no guests present. Very bad impression. What makes a hotel 5☆ is not the size of rooms, not the building or stunning external pool it is; the total attention to detail and to the customer experience and this hotel doesn't have that. It has the appearance of a 5☆ but for Northern Europeans, used to attentive and responsive service and an attention to detail, it is more a 3.5☆.

Great hotel with amazing staff. We selected this hotel as it is close to the Imola Race Circuit (30mins away) and wanted somewhere that was good value and located close to a town. It ticked every box and more! Rooms, inc air con were great, service by everyone was superb and a great breakfast included. We stayed 3 nights, thoroughly enjoyed hotel, Forli (Imola) and would have no hesitation in returning. As for value, including breakfast X 2, for just under euros80 a night! Will definitely return. Having looked at other poor reviews, I just don't recognise the same hotel.

Io e la mia ragazza abbiamo soggiornato due notti in questa struttura e il giudizio è sostanzialmente molto positivo anche se qualche appunto va fatto. La Hall dell’hotel moderna e veramente bella. La camera matrimoniale di buone dimensioni anche se il materasso era usurato e da sostituire. Visto che il riposo è importante per un ospite è importante che questi aspetti siano valutati. Bagno grande anche se un po’ datato. Visto il tipo di struttura potrebbe essere rimodernizzato. La colazione è il vero fiore all’occhiello. Per tutti i viaggi che ho fatto in Italia e nel mondo è sicuramente una delle migliori se non forse la migliore in assoluto. Ampissima scelta di dolci (cornetti alla crema, alla nutella, al pistacchio.. bomboloni.. torte..confetture di marmellate di tutti i tipi..) Per chi come me ama il dolce a colazione rimarrà a bocca aperta. Ottima scelta tuttavia anche di frutta, salato vario e reparto glutee free. Veramente voto 10+. Anche i ragazzi che sono lì a servire super disponili e gentili. Nel complesso se dovremo tornare a Milano Marittima questa sarà sicuramente la nostra meta.
