We arrived at the hotel after a week-long bus tour of the "City of Arts". We lived during the whole wonderful trip in three-star hotels, not expecting anything special from them. Looking forward to a real vacation after running around the cities and museums in 4 *. But the Punta Nord Hotel spoiled the whole impression of a trip to a beautiful country. Lucky only with the fact that they settled immediately at 8 in the morning, they made us wait until 12. The view from the window "killed" immediately - a shabby concrete wall right in front of a tiny balcony, which stretched almost to all the rooms on the first floor. Further - more: there was no hair dryer in the bathroom, there was no bidet (as in all previous 3 *), there was no forced ventilation. They opened a window (simply holes in the brickwork), at night they regretted it very much, mosquitoes did not let us sleep. As well as the sounds from the corridor and neighboring rooms. That same night there was a storm on the sea, a terrible wind arose. The door between the rooms began to twitch from the draft. It was possible to calm her down only at the third hour, by stuffing all the maps and guidebooks accumulated during the trip into the slot under the door. Asked to help us change the room. What they heard - go negotiate for yourself, although it makes no sense, since the hotel is full. So we lived for 3 days with mosquitoes and a "wonderful" view from the window. There was no fridge or minibar, but we didn't need to. Other tenants begged - they brought them. The hotel is located on the northern outskirts of Rimini. You could get to the center by bus in 40 minutes and 1.2 euros (one way). On the plus side, there are no noisy discos nearby. The hotel gives a beach voucher, according to it on the nearby municipal beach - free sunbeds and 1 umbrella for two. 10 minutes walk to the beach (across the road). They fed well. Breakfasts are ordinary continental, dinners are quite tasty, with fruits, wine, sociable and friendly staff. 2 huge beautiful rooms - 1 for modest breakfasts and 1 for lunches and dinners. The weather was already autumn, the sea had not yet completely cooled down, we swam three times, but the cold breeze from the sea did not allow us to lie down for a long time. The beaches were already preparing for the winter - they removed the equipment, leaving a few sunbeds and umbrellas for extreme people - Russians. In general, if we got a room at least a floor above, and we arrived not at the end, but at the beginning of September, then the rest would have been quite successful. But the hotel still does not pull on 4 *.
