  alright, but needs some maintenance

  We stayed three nights in a double room. the room was massive, but hardly anything in it- a small couch, TV on a cabinet and that was about it. The lift would not work with both of us and our luggage in it, so had to go up separately. I think the motel needs some work done - some of the walls were cracked, and it desperately needed an update. The garden when we arrived was overgrown, but maybe they only get someone in occasionally to maintain because the second morning there was a garden crew there trimming. we didn't have any noise issues, but I am not sure how many others guests were actually a there. on the whole, it was very basic accommodation, but our stay was ok.

  Very friendly staff

  It was like going through a time warp. Back to the 60s. But, in general, that is San Marino. Our room was very large and had a great outlook to the Mountain. Two bathrooms and a very comfortable bed. Not much more to ask for really. The staff had been overwhelmed by a group of Russian tourists. These tourists are the 21st Century version of the rude American tourists. They were a bit hard on the staff so when the staff heard our Aussie accents they looked relieved and gave us fantastic service. I wouldn't stay here for the food. We struggled with the breakfast and had dinner in the restaurant one night. This is not recommended. However, this is San Marino..... the republic shuts down on a Sunday so all we could get in the area was McDonalds (yes, we were desperate). Up on the "Rock" things are different.... good food, good services and tourist focused. Back at the hotel we found a very quiet outdoor area next to the bar. I use the word "bar" very loosly... we thought we might get a cool beer and sit ouside and have a drink overlooking the valley. The only beer that they had were some warm bottles of Becks. So we settled for some Champagne. I could have sworn that we were in an old Russian state.... In Summary..... quirky, friendly but very out of date.

  Quiet but a little jaded

  The Hotel San Giuseppe is clean, bright and offers nice views down towards Rimini if you are at the front or the citadel of San Marino if you are at the back. It has a strong religious feel about it with a huge basilica in front of it and I think an enclosed order just off to the side ot it. It is very quiet and woud suit older people.....the bar is on the second floor and you had to order beer from the front lobby so there wasn't a permanent barman on duty during my stay. Many people would find the hotel as a pleasant experience as it is very quiet and has nice grounds with the stations of the cross around it, so you can understand why it would have a strong appeal for clergy or as a retreat centre. But, if you are going to San Marino why stop short of the citadel which is the real tourist area of the mountan top republic. You might have to pay a little more but the shopping, restaurants and views married to the all-round ambience of the summit far outweight the extra outlay, rather than stay short of your intended goal. Another problem with the hotel is that if you don't have your own transport you are isolated and while taxis are available...I paid 50 for the drive to Rimini Airport... you could run up a bill because you won't walk easily unless you are very fit. With a lack of traffic-lights in San Marino people can drive quickly, so beware. The food in the hotel was adequate without being great but it was more than acceptable albeit, at times, quite bland. The rooms were clean but quite spartan while the dividing walls did seem inadequate and noise easily travelled from room to room. The staff were courteous but for my liking, the hotel was just too quiet but I accept many would find the tranquil nature of the massive hotel as a decided bonus. In conclusion, I think the location below the citadel offers excellent views (when it's not foggy) but the views from the summit are really spectacular and, if it's a short break holiday, go the extra mile and stay up at the summit!

  disappointed

  on contrary from other reviews of this hotel, we were not satisfied with the offered room neither the location of the hotel. In the description it says it is close to the old town and touristic sites, but this is true only if you plan to use the car and drive up to a paid parking place. Walking was not recommended neither by receptionist, even less with small kids. Room we got was not the one we ordered (triple) but added bed to double bed room. It was very bad smell inthere (nevertheless it was supposed to be non-smoking). There was not much space to move with two small kids. And the shower cabin was loosing water, so after only one shower there was a lake in the bathroom. Since it seems not all rooms are like this one, I tend thinking that quality of room is choosen by the nationality of the person booking it. Thus, since it was booked from East, from Prague, we got a bad room. What I liked in the hotel was a large and good choice of the breakfast.

  Seminar in San Marino

  Recently had the pleasure of participating in a conference in San Marino, and the stay at the San Giuseppe hotel was a pleasure. The hotel is located just minutes from the tourist sites of old San Marino and a half hour drive from the city of Rimini. It's peaceful grounds make it a tranquil retreat from the busy city. With a very distinct Catholic influence, the hotel is surrounded by trees, and faces an old style Catholic church. The staff at he hotel were absolutely delightful. Polite, well spoken, and always looking to help. On this trip I had the misfortune of losing my baggage, and the staff at the front desk worked tirelessly to assist me. The food was exquisite. We had three meals a day at the hotel, do to the conference, and all three were absolutely delicious. The only need for improvement I would suggest is to modernize some of the rooms, make the wifi much more accessible, and maybe add a shuttle service from the hotel to the train station in Rimini.
