Hotel Marittima Rimini, rooms with balcony near the sea
Hotel Marittima is a three-star hotel in Rimini Marina Centro, a few steps from the sea and not far from the station. It has air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, a buffet breakfast and staff that guests praise. It suits couples, sports groups and anyone happy to get around on foot, less so those who need total darkness.

Where Hotel Marittima is in Rimini
Hotel Marittima is on Viale Renato Parisano, in Rimini Marina Centro, a few steps from the beach. According to the listing, the railway station and the Romeo Neri stadium are a short distance away. It is an address designed for people who want to leave the car parked and get around on foot.
For me, this is its strong point. Rimini is a convenient base for exploring the Adriatic coast, and from the Marittima the sea really is close. More than one guest says both the beach and other city attractions can be reached on foot, without needing any transport. If you fancy widening your tour of Emilia-Romagna, you might also look at Palazzo della Racchetta in Ferrara, for a second stop in the same region.
What the rooms at Hotel Marittima are like
The rooms are air-conditioned and all have a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV and a safe. Some also have a balcony. The description also mentions soundproofing and daily cleaning, two things that really count in a seaside town, especially in the busiest months.
Reviews point the same way. Several guests talk about comfortable, clean and bright rooms, and one mentions the balcony with pleasure. Another says the bunk bed initially puzzled them, but in the end everything was fine. If you are travelling with children or in a group, it is worth asking beforehand what kind of room you will be given.
| In the room | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Air conditioning | Useful on warm Rimini nights |
| Private bathroom and safe | Basic comfort, with nothing to share |
| Balcony, in some rooms only | Better to ask when you book |
| Soundproofing | Helps light sleepers |
Breakfast, bar and services
Breakfast is a continental buffet, served in the hotel's breakfast bar. As well as the bar there is a lounge, a terrace, a reception that is always staffed and 24-hour services, plus shared areas with games. These are not luxury hotel details, but they show a place designed for staying a while, not just sleeping.
Guests seem happy. Some talk of an excellent breakfast and delicious food, and on holiday a well-made buffet is a real mood-booster. The hotel accepts small and medium-sized animals and has an arrangement with the Bagno 44 beach establishment for summer activities. It is handy if you would rather not organise the beach from scratch.
What guests say
On Google, Hotel Marittima has 4.4 out of 5 from 52 reviews. These are not huge numbers, but the themes come up with some regularity.
- The staff. This comes up most often. Many describe them as friendly, helpful and able to make you feel at home, and some talk about being looked after from the moment they arrive.
- The location. Close to the sea and easy to walk from, including to services and other attractions.
- Value for money. Some rate it as good, and for a three-star so close to the beach that is no small thing.
Also striking is the number of loyal guests. Some groups have been coming back for years for a sporting event and talk about the staff almost as if they were family. To me, this shows the hotel knows how to welcome even those who arrive in large numbers.
What to know before booking
No hotel is perfect, and this one is no exception. The criticisms are few but concrete, and it is better to know them before choosing.
- Morning light. One critical review complains about shutters that are stuck. In Rimini, in spring, the room lights up very early. If you sleep lightly or poorly with light, bring an eye mask.
- Small details. The same guest says they had to ask twice for the TV that was missing from the room. If something is not there, flag it at check-in straight away.
- The tourist tax. The same guest disagreed with the calculation applied to younger guests. Before paying, ask how it is worked out and keep the receipt.
These are isolated incidents among many very positive opinions, but they show that now and then a bit of attention and persistence is needed.
Who it suits and what to do nearby
Hotel Marittima works well for those who want a simple base by the sea, with breakfast included and friendly staff. I would choose it for a weekend or a week at the beach, where the room is mainly for sleeping and cooling off.
| Who you are | How it suits you |
|---|---|
| Couples and friends | Sea nearby, good welcoming atmosphere |
| Groups and teams | Regular guests who have been coming back for years |
| Travelling with an animal | Small and medium-sized pets accepted |
| Needing total darkness | Less suitable, because of the shutters |
Otherwise, the area offers the sea, the station for getting around and the rest of the Adriatic coast to discover. If you would like a different seaside stay, there is also La Romantica Camere e Wellness in Senigallia, in the Marche.
