The young receptionist was absolutely superb - spoke great English and was utterly charming. She sorted me out with a local dentist when I had a tooth ache. The breakfasts were fab and we had a fanatsic room with a panoramic sea view. Most of the other guests were German. There were even a few Finns. We were the only Brits, so no hassles or stupid behaviour to put up with. The hotel is VERY clean. There was also a fantastic

We're repeat clients to this family run Hotel one min from the sea front, they own part of the shared beach one min walk from the hotel with plentiful sun loungers, there's a restaurant serving seafood and pizza's ( not Comoran ), water sports also not Comoran, they speak English and are friendly.
Large family rooms for decent price with a great view of the seafront room 207, biggest pool in Cattolica, get your beach towels out before 9am lool or fight the Italians.
Decent hotel, full board , way too much food (an overdose) Half board is enough gives you the chance to eat at the hotel lunchtimes or in the evening, choice is yours.
Food is ok but after day-4 you feel like popping.
The port of Cattolica is a great place to eat in the evenings, spoiled for choice, no need to book, fresh seafood! yummy!
Riccione is 15 mins by car it's more upmarket, kinda posh nosh but great in the evenings as shops open till midnight and there are hundreds.
This place is hard to describe. So, here are the things that affected on not giving the full points, but signuficantly less: Practically no sound isolation between rooms. You can "enjoy" couples fighting, babies crying, teenagers partying and everything right from your room.
Breakfast doesn't consider guests from Northern Europe. (Plenty of sweet bread and only cheese, ham, eggs, fruits, cucumber and tomatoes for the Northerns to choose from). Only in our group there was a bussload of Nordic guests. The breakfast room is very noisy.
There are only shallow fences separating balcony spaces. One day I found our sunchair close to the neighbors side with a bikini bottom on it.
Beds are goid quality, but hard as a rock. Will sleep on the couch for the rest of the nights to avoid waking up with an upper back pain.
On the other side, the staff is nice and the common venue is ok and the hotel co-op beach is beautiful.
Catollica is a family resort rather than couples. Hotel is 100 yards from its own beach area. Situated on the edge of town next to the aquarium. It is 20 minutes walk past hotels and pound shops to reach restaurants and pubs but not an unpleasant walk as lots of others are making the same journey.
Hotel is spotlessly clean and rooms are cleaned daily with fresh towels every day. Good size rooms with comfortable beds and air con that works. TV but no English channels.
Breakfast is a bit manic but crockery is cleared and tables reset double quick. Lunch is mor relaxed at 12:30 and you choose the next days meal in advance. Food is decent quality and always served hot choice of fish or meat or veggie. Never had a bad meal. Dinner is 7:30. Same staff serve at night and are very pleasant. They have some difficulty understanding English but enough to get by.
Pool is lovely and always sunbeds available.
Reception is friendly. Taxi is 13 Euro from train station.
I would recommend this hotel especially for families.
Good rooms, location is perfect, dinners are very delicious. Cattolica is a very nice and beautiful place and this hotel is close to everything. It's close to the beach , close to cafes and shops, walking zone along the beach. We liked the food^ we stayed for 14 days and dinners were various every day.
The hotels rooms were better than excpected. The breakfast was very crowded and poorly organized and some staff member were rude and the food supply wasn't that wide, but that's propably due to the Italian way of living. The food that was served was good. The location of the hotel was good; next to the beach and aquarium and a big plus was the bouncing board at the pool. The reception staff was friendly and the WI-FI worked. Our bathroom seat broke down and nobody came to fix it during the week. Our view from the balcany was really nice. All-in all a good budget hotel for families.
