Hotel Estense

Best breakfast and dinner ever. We’ve been in many luxurious and even Michelin stars restaurants in our life, and I can say with total honesty that their food was one of the best we’ve ever tried. There is a big selection of food, for all the tastes, the menu was changing every evening and the staff was over the top. Very friendly, kind and nice, always there to help you with everything. The location was perfect, in the middle of everything and only 3 minutes walking distance from the beach.

We had a reservation for a 2 room apartment and when we arrived, we realized that this apartment was not in the hotel building ( which was a very nice and stylish building). The apartment was in an obscure building vis-a-vis from the hotel. This building had nothing to do with the pictures of the actual hotel. And while it was clean, and we had everything we needed, in the bathroom there was a visible stain of mold, and in the rooms there were a few spider webs. Also, while the actual hotel building had an elevator, this building had only external stairs, so we had to carry all the time our baby in the stroller on the stairs. I think it will be fair for people make reservations in this hotel but who will actually be placed in the additional building to be informed before arrival.

The hotel's location is great. Less than a 10-minute walk to the train station, where trains run frequently along the coast between Ravenna - Rimini and further. The beach is very close and had several options for eating, drinking and sunbathing. Breakfast was delicious and had a great variety of options. Good surprise was the water dispenser for guests to refill bottles- it was much needed. The hotel's dinner menu also impressed us with its variety and quality. Everything was very delicious and a great experience. The hotel room was large, didn't hear any noise from outside, and had everything we needed. The only noise came from a local summer festival, but it stopped rather early each day.The hotel staff is friendly, welcoming, and always available to help.

The breakfast was very good, with plenty of sweet options. The final apartment we were moved to was spacious and comfortable — our two younger children could sleep in a separate bedroom, and our older daughter stayed in the living room. The location was convenient, and the staff was polite.

We didn’t receive the apartment we had booked for the first night. Instead of a 2-bedroom + living room apartment, we were given one with only 1 bedroom and a living room, where three of us had to sleep together — including on a bunk bed placed near the fridge.The hotel moved us to the correct apartment the next day, but the first night and the arrival experience were a nightmare.They offered to waive the €45 city tax, but we declined it — especially since they also refused to reimburse even the price difference between the two room types. We were very disappointed with how the situation was handled.

Nothing related to this hotel.

We booked a room at Hotel Estense in Gatteo Mare through Booking.com, specifically choosing a room with a kitchen for four people. Upon check-in, we were directed to a different building located about 20 meters from the main hotel. The room was in poor condition: it was dirty, and the toilet had remnants clearly left behind by previous guests. We took photos and submitted them with a complaint on Booking.com.When I approached the reception about the issue, the hotel owner offered us a €100 dinner as compensation, which I perceived as a bribe to cover up the deception, and we refused it. I would also like to point out that the listing on Booking.com did not mention that the room was located in a separate building, nor were there any hotel signs on that building.In addition, the bathroom had a large window that could not be closed, which caused discomfort and unpleasant smells from a neighboring toilet.We were disappointed, as we expected more comfortable conditions in line with the website description and the hotel’s rating. I hope the hotel owners will take steps to improve cleanliness, fix the window issue, and provide accurate information about their rooms on booking platforms.

Wonderful receptionists, High-quality service in the wellness area, Rich breakfast,Close to the beach.

No ironing service available (neither an ironing room nor the option to borrow an iron).

Very nice family owned buotique hotel 2 streets from the seaside. Nicely decorated small room, perfect for a short summer holiday. Clean and tidy, staff is welcoming, breakfast is far beyond 3 stars. The lobby of the hotel also more like a 4 star. We would likely come back. Free parking nearby.

Well, nothing really, spa is for a plus fee, but this is correctly communicated. Room is a bit small.

Close to the beach, 2 minutes of walk. But beach itself is not so good.Holiday atmosphere on the street from 9 to 11 pm

On our balcony was 2 small air channel windows from bathrooms: one from our bathroom, and one from somebody else's bathroom! So we have heard toilet noises of neighbors, while we sat on the balcony!On our balcony there was only 2 foldable chairs, this part of having triple room with three beds. And no table!Room was quite small. Bathroom is small and old, and douche box is very small.Employee on the reception had very poor English, and was unable to explain us activities of the hotel.

Amazing breakfastHospitality / staff welcoming and helpfulLocation

nothing we didnt like this is a very good well run hotel

Clean and cosy

Appartment/room supposed to have a kitchen. It had a kitchen, but no utilities. No pots, no forks, knives, plates, no glasses, no mugs... Utilities can be rented for 15€/day, but that information was not communicated before.

Didn't have breakfast. Location was perfect.

Bed was too hard and room very small

Above all the hospitality. We felt like home with our family. Then the breakfast was great and going to hotel’s spa on a rainy day was relaxing.

The hotel can get noisy when full. For us everything else outweighed this

room with private terrace, room for bicycles and service equipment

amazing place, my husband and I really enjoyed the spa :) good drinks at the bar, and super nice staff!

Location very close to the beach.

The room we got was totally out of standard. Quadruple means suitable for 4 people, however, I would find it difficult to stay there even as a couple. Air conditioning did not work, when we asked for help, we were told that system is adjusted to keep the same temperature in all rooms in the hotel (30 degrees Celsius!?). Equipment was very old and noisy. Tiny bathroom with a window constantly open, bringing in the noise to the room. Obviously pictures in the offer were COMPLETELY different then reality... I do not understand why such room was offered, I do not recommend this place at all! It is the first time I give a hotel such a low rate (3, as location was really ok).

I liked the equipment of the room and breakfast.

We did not get the room we had paid for. We were supposed to have a balcony but we did not have. So this was a big disappointment for us.

The personnel was really kind and helpful. Located just a few meters from the beach and close to the train station.

The area was nice not as busy perfect to get away and relax

My room close to construction

everything! it was an absolute gem, breakfast, bed, room, staff. we were given an upgrade at no extra cost to a room with a huge balcony and a hot tub!!! amazing place and unbelievable value.

nothing, all perfect

Great breakfast! Lovely balcony.

Unfomfortable beds, dirty towels.
