Hotel Ascot & Spa

The hotel is very nice and we have choose it because of the salty sea water hot swimming pool and spa which both excided our expectations. Room was big, modern, comfortable. I give 3 star rating due to lack of hospitality (my personal opinion) We were greeted with bigger smile when we left instead on the day we arrived. It was "cold blooded" execution of checking, showing the room. Attitude more appropriate for beeing accommodated in some other places. Also the first night we arrived at 18:00,one older lady receptionist, was so shocked that we want to pay 25 eur per person for using the spa till 20:00. Also the cleaning room lady entered while we were in the room, even I said it is occupied on her knocking and there was a sigh do not desturb. All in all Rimini had it glory days now fading hospitality might be an issue for people looking not just sunny places but also sunny faces.

What a lovely Rimini hotel. Owned and run by a lovely hardworking couple with plenty of competent friendly staff. The rooms are clean and have everything you need. A little smaller than other European hotels but all hotels in Rimini are limited in height. What is fabulous about this hotel is the heated seawater pool. You just float on it. When I go again it will be before September. By the third week most of the town is shut. Public transport is plentiful with buses 10 and 11 running the coastal route between Rimini and Riccione. Metro bus a short walk away and trains from Rimini are cheap For Summer, you are straight on the beach and entertainment is only two blocks away The hotel offers B&N Half Board and Full Board. For British people, you might find having a four course evening meal too much, so don't snack before. We've had a really enjoyable holiday here.

Nice modern hotel situated right on the beach on the edge of Rimini within walking distance of the airport. With a modern look of chrome leather and glass in reception you get a cosy sized room with a tiny 20"tv and snug shower room. Breakfast has a good selection to chose from with warmish(not hot) option of fried and scrambled egg, yoghurt cereal and breads. This gets very busy and has only 1 coffee machine which not enough for the number of guests. This is made up by the great and attentive staff including the very charismatic owner. Evening meals were ok but not to my taste overly salted and repedative.Wasn't expecting to be charged for still water at the evening meal. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel which takes you into central Rimini. There is also a Metro system less than 10 min walk away with the airport being 20/25 min easy stroll away. The hotel offers the free use of bicycles so you can ride up the cycle paths into Rimini or down to Misano ( takes around 40 mins). Enjoyed laying out by the pool. Overall and great stay in a good location.

We just got back from Ascot & Spa and will visit again. The hotel is right at the beach, the perfect location. We booked a sea view room, which was well worth it, stunning views. The room and bathroom (a little dated) were a bit on the small side but adequate for sleeping and showering. Very well cleaned every day with fresh towels and a load of toiletries. The hair dryer was not such a success, I was glad I brought my own. We paid to park our car in the garage, which was well worth it. The staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much for them. The owners were also working in the hotel every day. We booked half board, the breakfast was very good with a big buffet and bubbles. Hot, cold food, sweet stuff, fresh fruit etc, etc. The evening meal was also very good, again with a big starter buffet, first course and second course with each 4 choices and big choice of desserts. The pool area was lovely, nice size pool and jacuzzi (both seawater and warm).,it was not too busy, enough sun loungers for this time a year, Might be a little bit of a problem in high season. Beach towels were provided and drinks from the bar brought to you outside by the pool or terrace. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel, direction Rimini and Riccione. Bikes can be borrowed from the hotel. Restaurants and shops in walking distance. Beach bars plus sun bed/umbrella rentals on the doorstep. All in all it was a great short break and well worth the long drive from home. We will be back.
