Hotel Apis - Rivabella Rimini

Very helpful and friendly staff. Description of hotel misleading. The fitness room is not in the hotel, but is an arrangement with a gym about a mile away. The hotel restaurant has closed, so that only breakfast is available. The arrangement with some local restaurants to offer a reduction is not always reliable. Having to cross 2 major roads to reach the beach is not ideal. The swimming pool is much smaller than expected, but still reasonable. Rooms quiet in their own right, but building work going on all round the hotel. The hotel's credit card machine broke down, which made it necessary to find a bank and withdraw cash to pay bill. Pleasant international clientèle in hotel. Good for a short break, but not ideal for a longer holiday.

The hotel is very cheap but also very simple: small beds, one cover (for two), shower as part of the bathroom. I would recommend the hotel to those who look for something cheap and who aren't demanding.

Booked as a last night stay with easy access to Rimini airport. One night or maybe a weekend would be most suitable for a hotel like this. Clearly a 1960's hotel with a down at heel feel to it although the room was very clean and the staff helpful and friendly. Breakfast was excellent. At the price you will get your share of budget revellers to prevent a full night sleep. Providing you have a tolerant nature and understand that you are paying only for wat you get you won't be disappointed. It suited it's purpose admirably

This hotel is about a 45 minute walk into rimini or 10 mins on the bus(you can obtain bus tickets from reception = 1 euro each..you can't pay on the bus you have to pre-purchase a ticket)..The hotel is on a level road no hills or steps to climb..The beach is literally 5 minutes away...The rooms were smaller than we expected...no tea/coffee making facillities or mini fridge..but the hospitality of marco and Maria was excellent...pool area needs refurbishing and cleaning but still very usable...bar area and eating area was very clean and welcoming with a pool table and table tennis....internet at the hotel was very quick and easy to access(3 euro's a hour).breakfast was alot of cakes/fruit/cereals/bread rolls/cheese and meats....overall we would class this as a basic hotel but more than adequate for the price we paid...The restaurant "La Brace" and "La Posada" are well worth trying...grazie Marco & Maria

Está relativamente céntrico, bien comunicado, el staff atento y muy barato. Claro, a ese precio no se puede pedir el oro y el moro así que me ha parecido una calidad relación precio muy buena, yo igual repetiría. Tiene hasta su piscina y pequeño aparcamiento. El entorno del hotel son casas adosadas muy tranquilas y está a 300 metros de la playa.

The hotel was lovely, very clean, as was our room. It is just situated a nice distance from the beach as the hotels that were on the promenade would have had a lot of noise at night whereas Hotel Apis was in a quiet "no through road". We stayed on a B&B basis and the breakfast was a buffet which was excellent. We would definitely go back again. We were only a 20 minute walk to the centre of Rimini where we were able to get the train and the bus or there was a bus stop just meters away from the hotel which was also convenient. We were able to take the Eurostar train to Rome (our preference), and also San Marino was easily accessable via bus excursion (approx 45 minutes away) beautiful place. A trip also to Santa Monica, Misano was easily accessable. We also went on a boat trip (mini cruise) around the Adriatic coast. The only thing we found was that a lot of the menus aren't in English and they don't serve potatoes!! Nice holiday.

We arrived a day earlier then expected and the staff were very helpful in changing our reservation to three nights instead of just one. The breakfast is great and the staff are friendly and willing to help you with anything you need. The night portier is very nice too. They have an internet access computer that you can use. The location is slightly outside the main center of Rimini but we walked into the city a few times. We found a place to pick up late food and drinks a few blocks away as well.

Good hotel. I would recommend it. What I like more is that the owner attends you personally. What I don´t like is the breakfast and the coffee machines. Excellent cleanliness. Congratulations to the waitress.

L'estetica dell'albergo lascia un po' a desiderare. E' situato in una zona molto tranquilla vicino al mare. Unico "neo" è che si sentono molto i rumori delle stanze affianco. Buona l'accoglienza ricevuta.

el hotel no esta nada centrico, se encuentra en un pueblo bastante alejado de Rimini. Las habitaciones se encuentran en la azotea del hotel, la habitacion tiene un cuarto de baño pequeño que si te duchas se puede inundar. la piscina de la fotografia nada que ver con la realidad, es muy pequeña y se encuentra en la puerta del hotel al lado de la calle.

When we arrived the mgr said he was overbooked and we got a room on the roof with no window and it smelled terrible.The quality of the hotel is nowwhere a three star hotel. We will never go back and I hope that this statement means that nobody else goes there.

For a short stay the hotel is recommended. There are two types of room: our friends were in the smaller one and there was no shower cabin. The shower was at the wall of the bathroom. In the bigger hotel room there was a shower cabin and a bigger terrace. The breakfast was very simple without tomatos or any other vegetables. Conclusion: Our staying was three days and for this it was ok. Next time would go there again. You can pay with credit cards. One girl of the staff spoke german. And the latte macciato at the hotel was very excellent!

The only reason the Services and facillities has dropped 1 mark is because at breakfast we arrived towards the end of the stated time. this did seem to mean that some of the choices the early guests had were not available for us. Apart from that the manager and reception staff could not help me enough. A superb stay.

in albergo abbiamo trovato un'acoglienza molto calorosa e una grande disponiblità. abbiamo soggiornato in diversi alberghi in Italia e all'estero, e dobbiamo dire che qui il rapporto qualità prezzo é davvero buono, basti pensare che si può pranzare o cenare con soli 12 euro!!!!

Sono stata veramente bene all'hotel Apis. ero gia stata alcuni anni fa e sono stata molto contenta di vedere molte novità, come le camere rinnovate, l'uso della palestra e l'animazione; faccio i miei complimenti a tutto lo staff.
