Hotel Baia Imperiale

We stayed at this hotel in July, and honestly — we didn’t want to leave. From the very first day, it felt like home, just by the sea and without a single worry. 🏨 Hotel & Room We stayed in a triple room with a small but cozy balcony. Everything was clean and well-maintained, with furniture and appliances in great condition. Housekeeping was done daily — quiet, efficient, and always on time. You could feel the care in every detail. 🍽️ Food — absolutely amazing! Dinner was not your typical hotel fare — it was restaurant-level quality. Every evening there was a buffet with an incredible selection of hot dishes, several types of pasta, and outstanding cold appetizers. Everything was delicious, homemade-style, and full of Italian soul. Breakfasts were also above average: fresh, varied, and much better than the usual hotel selection. 🌊 Location & Beach The hotel is right on the seafront — with a beautiful sea view from the rooms and just steps away from the beach. There are both private beaches with sunbeds and a free public beach nearby with soft sand, perfect for just laying down on a towel. The sea is shallow and warm — ideal for a relaxing swim. There’s also a bike rental service at the hotel, which made it super easy and enjoyable to reach the old town or explore shopping streets nearby. 👥 Staff — like a family The staff is another reason why we’d love to come back. It’s a multilingual, international team — they speak Italian, English, Russian, and even some German. The reception was always helpful and kind — special thanks to Federica and Olesya (who speaks Russian) for their warm and attentive service. In the restaurant, the service was excellent — polite, friendly, and efficient. A special shoutout to Antonella, whose positivity and cheerful energy made every dinner feel like a visit to close friends. It’s thanks to people like them that the atmosphere in the hotel feels so warm and welcoming. 🎉 Extras & Atmosphere Every Friday, the hotel hosts an Aperitivo evening — live Italian music, delicious snacks, and complimentary drinks before dinner. Such a cozy and uplifting tradition! There’s also a covered indoor pool available by reservation — great if you want a quiet swim. Plus, the hotel provides beach towels, which made our stay even more convenient. And cycling around Rimini was a real joy — a great way to experience the city. ⸻ 💬 Final thoughts: This hotel isn’t just a place to sleep — it’s a true retreat where everything comes together beautifully: food, people, and the sea. I would absolutely love to come back here again, and I recommend it wholeheartedly. Grazie mille for a truly wonderful holiday! 🇮🇹

My Fiancée and I had a wonderful 7 night stay at the Baia Imperiale. The hotel is situated right next to the public beach (Please note there is a daily fee of up to €28 for 2 beds and a parasol for the beach and marginally less for half day - there is a free part on the right side where you can lay on the sand if you're on a budget). It is also located extremely close to the bus stop to get into the city centre (which is roughly a 25/30 minute walk). There is a minimarket opposite the hotel, but there is a supermarket 10 minutes walk away (Conad) which was far cheaper for drinking water and snacks. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly at the hotel on both the reception and in the restaurant/bar. Always smiling and prepared to help. We stayed in an economy sized room and we had a partial view of the beach. The room is small but equipped with aircon, a mini fridge, nice sized wardrobe and bathroom with a shower - a hairdryer and shower gel all provided. The mattress was very comfortable and rooms cleaned daily with towels replaced. You only need your room to sleep in so it was fine, just a little old school style - but don't let that put you off. The restaurant is on the first floor and has a nice welcoming feel when entering - for dinner, your room number is on the table ready for you (we had the same table everyday with a bottle of water provided). The breakfast is international and there is always lots of options to choose from and juices /coffee machines provided. The dinner has a small buffet selection of cold meats, cheeses and other bits and pieces for a small plate starter. There is also several set meals prepared each day for the main course and the menu is displayed by the restaurant door. The hotel has their own chef preparing the meals and I have to say that as far as hotel food goes, is most definitely the best hotel food I've ever had. I am quite a fussy eater, but I never once went hungry or had a second thought about dinner elsewhere. We did eat lunch at a couple of other establishments nearby and the food did not come close to the quality of that at the hotel. Lastly, I can comfortably say if I wanted a nice relaxing holiday with a decent beach and excellent food then I'd definitely not hesitate to return to the Baia Imperiale.

Absolutely a joy to stay there, friendly staff, delicious healthy food, both dinner and breakfasts. Bijoux type hotel but better, really caring staff made our experience very positive. Got a taxi from airport no problem and plenty of beaches nearby. quick bus into Rimini centre for look around on Saturday market.

An hotel from the 70’s - not even the ropes have been changed. Old old old. Nothing modernized in 50 years. Roof terrace used to dry linen. It smells like a nursing home. Staff amazing. Bikes available and nice but surprising we need to deposit 5 euros every time. It seems the owner does not know credit cards have been invented. So, keep the staff, modernize all but for this maybe you need to change owner

We are here for the second time now and are really happy. The servers in the restaurant are so nice especially Antonella. The food is also tasty. So overall we can recommend this hotel:) Brigitte and Mariella
