The natural beauty of the Emiglia Romana countryside and the Adriatic beaches is mixed with the Belvedere's magic ingredients: great hotel/rooms, amazing food, welcoming staff, wide range of daily activities (bike and non-bike), knowledgable and friendly guides, themed evening soirees, modern bicycles - and so much more!!.

The hotel staff are without exception friendly and always helpful.

Although I traveled alone I made many friends with other very friendly staff and guests 
I will certainly return and highly recommend to my friends

Our 2 kids thrive and enjoy the very well organized and fun kids club, where they play and are entertained by a friendly and professional staff from 10am to 10pm every day!

The hotel is extremely well run…staff are friendly and most accommodating.

I have never met a group of hotel staff who are so warm, friendly, helpful and dedicated to making your stay with them a memorable experience.

Nicholas on the front desk was extremely friendly and helpful, including making train reservations for me.

The staff are so friendly and can’t do enough to make your trip wonderful.

Julia was always super responsive, helpful and so friendly.

Hotel staff so professional and friendly.

A friendly and welcoming place guests mingle at the bar and find commonality.

Beautiful location, fantastic riding, knowledgable and friendly guides, incredible food, free laundering of your kit, on and on.

Food is amazing , everyday new surprises, the staff are super friendly and the owner is fantastic.

The food is on another level and the chef approachable and friendly and is always on hand to answer questions if necessary.

Staff are super friendly and always helpful.

Everybody is so friendly and helpful, the food amazing and the cycle tours well thought out and enjoyable.

I also have to add, that the other guests were some of the easiest, most friendly people I've met.

The staff was incredibly friendly, polite and accommodating.

Great Chef and Marina, the owner is kind and friendly.

A small suggestion would be to have another bike mechanic on hand to help out during the bike pick up and drop off as the process seemed to take longer than it needed to with the poor guy working all alone.

though some of the road surfaces are poor this is not a major factor.

However, those in the lower levels are subject to traffic and poor pavement close to Riccione.

I have absolutely nothing poor to say about the experience.

though it takes 5-10 km to really get out of town on each ride, and some of the roads are busy and in poor condition.

I believe that one should always take responsibility for oneself or suffer the consequences for poor choices.

Room very small, no storage space,  breakfast buffet ~ cold scrambled eggs daily, bikers lunch ~ insufficient amount of food, poor quality wines served at dinner, table service poor ~ no silverware ~ short supply of coffee ~ cream.

Lots of hills, poor roads in town and busy, few bike paths, and NO sag wagon.

After staying at so many small rooms all over Europe we found a gem on the beach with a bigger room and bath.

The only very minor point to consider are the rooms are quite small, with limited storage,

The hotel itself has been nicely redone, rooms small

The accommodations are lovely - rooms are small

The negatives would be:

Very small rooms.

The room we were given was a little small, so we upgraded to a suite, which was super.

to land in your room which is small, old-fashioned, and not very luxurious.

Marina and her staff  continue to innovate and strive to give their guests the best possible holiday.

You are treated like family by staff that works together like family.

but also for the incredible welcome and attention to detail of all the staff.

Have to say a special word about Marina the owner who is the most caring, attentive, always around owner.

Such a warm welcome upon arrival (yes, we were greeted by name!).

Staff so helpful Marina owner was so special worked so hard!

Marina and her staff go above and beyond to make sure that  every  guest has a wonderful experience.

I can’t say enough good things about all the staff.

Marina and her team are so warm and welcoming to ensure your stay is an enjoyable one.

Your staff is phenomenal - feels more like family than staff.

The highly accommodating staff is very professional.

but definitely not least, we cannot say enough about the courtesy, kindness and patience of the staff, who is there to make sure your stay is exactly as you want it.

Kind, generous, and hospitable are understatements.

Our guides were professional, fun, and caring.

Marina (hotel owner) has created an amazing culture that attracts the most client service oriented staff that I have ever had the pleasure of encountering.

I can confirm that everything claimed on their website is true.

Although we'd been hoping for longer rides having seen the range of daily tours on the website and were slightly disappointed to find only 2 available most of the week in the heat (30-35+°C throughout) we would have struggled with significantly longer rides.

She found the Hotel Belvedere and I noted the high ratings on the social media websites.

Everything that you read and see on their website is true.

For us it is back to work and school and checking out the Belvedere website when we need a look at our favourite and only summer destination.

it suffices to say that everything they claim on their website is true.

Our trip to the Belvedere Hotel in Rimini, Italy was all the website said it would be and more!

We can say that we have finally found a hotel in Italy which perfectly corresponds to the presentation and description on the website.

A wonderful hotel, great food, a fantastic cycling program (5 performance levels; with friendly guides and first-rate bike rentals), the beautiful surrounding landscape, and lots of friendly cycling company.

And a great staff -super friendly and accommodating.

The staff at Hotel Dory are very friendly and helpful.

Our stay was both memorable and outstanding: kind, friendly and helpful staff, superb food and impeccably clean room.

The owner is very attentive and often present, and the staff is very friendly and feels like family even after only a week.

The staff is really friendly and helpful.

Because of C-19 the breakfast is served to you by the friendly personal.

Friendly family run hotel with excellent location close to beach, harbor and Riccione center.

The staff at the hotel are super friendly and helpful and it is clear that cycling is a passion for the owners and tour guides.

The other attendees were very friendly & helpful, specially those from Quebec.

Exceptional friendly staff, delicious three meals a day, spotlessly clean and a great location.

Very good room and facilities with friendly staff and owner.

Be prepared, if you go solo, for lots of very enthusiastic (friendly) bike groups there - not a good place if you want quiet,

The groups for the most part were very friendly and we often joined them for meals after the first couple of days.

Friendly, big rooms, cycling washing service everyday, bike room, mechanic, guided rides everyday except Saturday and Tuesday, close to beach and restaurants, great roads to cycle.

We enjoyed a great week's cycling, with friendly and knowledgeable guides, and when our stay unfortunately ended with a night in the local hospital, the staff at Hotel Dory couldn't have been kinder or more helpful.

We also lost the internet after 1 week and never got it back (I think they are still calling the engineer :-) ).

When I needed to call the reception, it never answered.

While the Dory is far from rustic, we call our wonderful week there last fall "bike camp" because we felt as

Could be 9/10 if "Suit" has telephone connection.

though perhaps a triple chain ring might have been helpful.

Things didn't start out well when we had a phone call the day before saying that we would have a 3.5 hour wait at the airport before we could be picked up - not happy we phoned them back  and they arranged for some-one to come and pick us up at the correct time - things were looking better!

When we arrived it was raining and they gave us the key of the apartment, an incomprehensible map and poor instructions on where the exact door of the garage was.

We had dinner in the restaurant which is a kind of buffet affair, you needed to pick your moment to get a good main course and, if you arrived late, lots of the courses did not get replaced / refreshed, one particular night which apparently was the last night of the Italian holidays was hell on earth, the dining room appeared to be some kind of warzone with guests fighting over food every time the poor waiters bought more from the kitchen.

The one concern, and the only reason for four rather than five stars, is the very poor quality of the roads in the area.

There is an area for children, a bit too small and poor.

Our bike guide, Paolo was knowledgeable and fun to be with.

The staff and owner of Hotel Dory embrace the meaning of hospitality.

I was so impressed with the loyalty of the staff that have been serving in the  hotel since the first time we came 10 years ago.

The Dory staff went out of their way to accommodate any requests we had.

Great staff, great food, great riding, great experiences like a farm lunch.

We are a cycling group from Sourhern California and 13 of us enjoyed the wonderful Hotel Dory, staff and amenities for a week in middle of May.

Thank you to Stefano and all  amazing staff .

The room had everything we could ask for and breakfast was abundant and well catered for, with cheerful and attentive service throughout the stay.

I’ll never know all of the Herculean efforts by Stefano and his team,

We especially enjoyed Gianni's brief explanations of different sites' histories.

Everything, from the cycling side (special mentions to Andrea, Natalia, Gianni, Alessandro and the AMAZING Drelli) to reception (Denise, Nadia, Alessandra and others) to the catering staff (Giacomo, Pavel, Cosimo, Ilaria, chef Solideo and the rest of the team) went perfectly.

Wonderful staff, food was inc, in our package and was plentiful and everything tasted really nice, hoping we're going again next year, 
my one negative point, i was in a twin room and the 2 beds we're tiny so beware of this, great location beautiful area close to Rimini and for those cycling the hills are just a short warm up away.

What a wonderful experience,  the hotel dory is clean,modern and staffed by an excellent team of professionals for whom nothing is too much trouble, cannot reccomend it highly enough.

Stephano the owner is kind, really cares and a wonderful host.

The hotel facility is first class, as is the food and the team who have a genuine passion for hospitality.

Free parking

The only downside is that when the hotel was built the lifts installed were so narrow that a wheelchair will not pass through the doors so my dear cousin who is in a wheelchair has to listen enviously to our praise for the hotel without being able to stay at the Augustus himself.

Sadly, this hotel couldn't accommodate my disabled cousin due to the narrowness of the lift doors ruling out wheelchair use

Only thing to be improved is the sound of elevator or water pump of the swimming pool that could be clearly heard in the room (5th floor) late in the evening and early in the morning.

It was a little noisy because our room was right in front of the elevators

Lovely friendly manager and team of staff who couldn’t do enough for you.

Great friendly hotel with a warm atmosphere.

The hotel is great & all the staff are so friendly & helpful.

The staff are fantastic: friendly, kind and professional.

The staff are absolutely fantastic: friendly, kind and professional.

The staff was helpful and friendly, the breakfast was great and the rooms very clean.

We were met by the most friendly staff, and the helpfulness and hospitality of the host Ines was exceptional.

THE STAFF is really FRIENDLY, kindly, considerate, helpful and SPECIALLY LOVELY.

Second time here at Hotel Augustus Riccione, friendly staff, hard workers, always with a smile.

All the staff is very helpful and friendly.

Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful.

As we arrived at the hotel, the hotel staff revealed to be very friendly and customer-oriented.

Nice and extremely friendly staff who where helpful and customer oriented.

The staff were absolutely friendly and helpful 
The 7pm free drinks and food was a great touch
The hotel is positioned perfectly for the train and the beach area
My family enjoyed all it had to offer
Belissimo

Nice and friendly hotel in the best part of Riccione.

We were there with our 8months old and staff was very helpful, accommodating and friendly.

This hotel bears testimony as to how an ordinary establishment can be made extra-ordinary by cheerful, friendly and solicitous staff.

August turned out to be a very nice hotel with super friendly personnel.

The rooms were a little bit to small for two adults and two teenagers,

We choose an economy double room which is small

Our room was small for four people, small bunk for teenage kids, with no extra space save a tiny balcony with two chairs,

Rooms are small, with moquette, badly arranged.

Three minutes from the beach and with the friendliest staff, Hotel Augustus was just the best base for a relaxing, couples break.

Nothing was to much for the staff at this wonderful residence.

Fantastic people at reception, Ines and her team provides great services.

Owners were supernice, very accommodating and had a great time.

but Ines and her fantastic team made me very welcome all taking the time to speak to me.

Fantastic family run 4 Star Hotel, with great rooms and fantastic staff.

This is also reflected by her team of staff.

So efficient and helpful - and always smiling!

Friendliness and helpfulness of the staff and the boss Ines during the entire stay; rich and delicious breakfast.

Soon as we arrived the staff on reception made us feel very welcome.

but to all you people who have complained it was cold Italians eat cold food, The guy who said the pool was dirty and the hotel was 1950's decor must have been on something because maura had the hotel renovated last year it has new bathrooms, bedrooms and a Stylish lift with a tv built into the floor as shown on a picture i have uploaded.

We ate out evry night, the food was over cooked and then left to dry out in a baine marie, and then to top it all was cold, everybody Iwe spoke to said they could not wait to get home and have a proper cooked meal,.

Breakfast was continental style with cereal, bread rolls,pasties and cold meats as well as fruit.It was always well displayed and stocked.

remember this is Italy, so they like veg cold, and they like there fish too!!!

but there is room for improvement definitely with the food and why oh why isn't the beer cold enough! !

Food was often cold, obviously re-heated from a caterer.

The Senior was extremely run down, basic hotel with mildew in the bathroom, poor decor everywhere, bad food and a not so safe, very cold, dirty pool area.

Maura and her team were all so friendly, flexible and helpful.

The atmosphere is very friendly and the staff are really helpful.

Maura and her Staff couldn't do enough for us, all so friendly and helpful.

She’s always friendly and had time for sometimes silly questions.

excellent beach location 150m and shops 50m  location , great 3 star hotel , good value for money, friendly helpful staff ,clean hotel, great breakfast and evening meal what else can you ask for , I will be visiting again next year May

As always a warm friendly welcome by all the staff, who always go out there way to help.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, reception was also always ready to answer our questions during the week.

This is my 5th time here, one reason I return time after time, is that everyone in the hotel is so friendly, and all of this is down to it being family run hotel, always the same staff year in year out

The food is excellent, and I always find there is something you will like at night time, I have a particular liking for the stew  the meat is just so tender, and the tomatoes sauce complements it as well

Lunch time meals are just simple meals, and very tasty, especially spaghetti bolognaise

In fact the personnel was so friendly and helpful that my stay was really comfortable and memorable.

Maura and all staff so geniune,  friendly and helpful.

Staff throughout the hotel were top notch and very friendly .

All of the staff were so friendly and helpful, it felt like we were staying with a family rather than a hotel.

The staff working there were very friendly and personable.

Everyone at the hotel so friendly and helpful, couldn't stay anywhere better and they always have plenty of ideas of different places to visit.

We enjoyed our stay at the Senior hotel, the friendly staff and other guests and the great trips you can take around the area - Gradara, Rimini, Ravenna and San Marino.

All the staff in the restaurant are very friendly especially Marina.

The rooms are quite small and dark, and if you get one from the street side, it's probably noisy because of the traffic and the nearby train track.

Still, whoever is a light sleeper it might be difficult to sleep on lower floor rooms because of the traffic, Well, the long days on the beach, tours, late dinners with excellent food makes the trick :)  The hotel has a pool and open air jacuzzi.

Some reviews refer to the location being a little bit noisy,

but there was absolutely no noise from the street.

Only thing is the noisy road on the main stretch of the hotel, also train goes on all night drives u nuts! !

but despite the buses, scooters and cars the hotel never seems noisy.

The Senior is in an ideal position for Cattolicas attractions
however it is near a busy road and railway line, this was not a problem after the first night as you get accustomed to the noise.

but if the brochure says centrally located near bars, main roads and railway  then your going to get some noise  but i must say it made no great impact on the holiday 
would i go back?

The hotel is on a really busy road, all you hear is motorbikes and cars going past, you can not relax by the pool for the noise of the traffic.

although the balcony was small and there was a bit of noise it didn't bother us.

Definately do not expect a nights sleep,the hotel sits on a road that has 24hr traffic noise and sirens, also a railway adds to this racket, only sheer exhaustion eventually led to sleep.

The Balconys are small, and if you are facing the front a litle noisy,

only downside noise from road and railway, take you earplugs.

It's true that there is traffic noise and noise from the nearby railway line -

The position is fine if you don't mind some noise, as it is on a busy road.

As was said in other reviews there is traffic noise and general street noise, so not for the light sleeper.

This was not an enjoyable walk to the circuit as there were no footpaths and a busy and narrow road.

The only possible drawback is that it's on a slightly busy road

Our room overlooked the main road, and we could just hear the trains,

The hotel is situated on the main road into Cattolica which is noisy all day and night.

The Hotel is on a main road, and the views were dissapointing, as you either have a view of a tree, or another Hotel.

The only down side to the holiday and there was only one was the constant noise from the bar across the road, granted we were told there would be noise due to the fact that it was on the main road

The only downside to the hotel was that it is situated on the main road so could be quite noisy at times.

just got back from the hotel senior  17 th july
i must say the only complaint about the hotel from our party
was the noise coming from the road and the local bar just outside the hotel.

although a three star does not compare favorably with other three stars in the resort especially as the swimming pool is dominated on two sides by a busy main road and side street that was dominated by motorbike and scooter engines.

The hotel is situated on a main road, and can be very noisy from traffic in the pool area.

but on quite a busy road, ok if you have a room at the back of the hotel as we did.

On a couple of nights, there was also a little bit of noise from the road and other hotels playing live music,
