Great budget hostel (FROM RIMINI AIRPORT : approx 10 mins by car, or take the no. 9 bus from Rimini airport) (approx £15.00 per person, per night - for double en-suite room ) in a good location near restaurants/bars/clubs/shops etc.. - 150 M from sea front. Staff are very helpful & friendly (& speak English ! ) Double rooms are basic with a small hanging locker each for clothes but very clean with a small balcony (view of next hotel ! ) & en-suite toilet/shower (very clean & well kept) Big electric fan in our room which was a god-send as we were there in June 2007during a heatwave - lovely...Also there are single sex & mixed dorms which I didn't see so cannot comment on these. Mainly young people (under 30) but a few older ones. Great Music ( Mainly English Rock/pop ) playing most of the time (until 12.30am ish - not too loud) Breakfast was very basic but nice : choice of cereal, bread with choice of jam, small biscuits,hot drinks machine,squash mashine. (You have to do your own washing up...)There was no restaurant but you can order small snacks throughout the day. Free Wi Fi internet in reception/Lobby (2 comps that are being used most of the time...)Drinks from bar are cheaper than in the Restaurants & local bars. Great atmosphere, small outside area with tables & 2 hammocks (which are brilliant) & table tennis table. Hostel does variety of tours & day trips which other people seemed really pleased with. All in all a really good place to stay, the only down side was the noise at night from others in & out of their rooms banging doors & chatting in the corridoors... so I would suggest that you take plenty of ear plugs with you if you want a good nights rest........The windows have shutters so there isn't too much noise from traffic outside (Rimini seems never to sleep.....) Also there are no lifts, I think there are 4/5 floors.Also free bikes to take out, self catering kitchen & towel hire for 1 Euro (+ 5 euro deposit)
