Second time at the hotel gambrinus for a cycling holiday. Again everything was faultless with superb food, guides in a convenient location 100m from the beach and just off the shopping area - will definitely return.

Another superb stay at Hotel Gambrinus, Riccione 🚴‍♀️

Stayed at this hotel for one week of cycling.  We got amazing service: the hotel provides full board meals, laundry service, guiding services at excellent rates.  
Our group had 4 different guides to allow for the different paces.  I wish we had the GPS tracks to ease navigation and better anticipate climbs, but otherwise the service was flawless and friendly.  This teams knows how to handle cycling groups.
The food was good and varied with many appetizers and a choice of 3 main courses every night.  
The location is near the beach and the rest of the town, so very convenient.

Excellent Cycling Stay with Hotel Gambrinus.  Stellar service

If you are looking for a family hotel, close to the beach and in the center of Riccione, don't look any further. The owners and staff are making the difference here. They will make your stay, like being with family and friends. Hotel Gambrinus is also the perfect starting point for some excellent bike riding.

Great location, excellent welcoming.

Actions speaker louder than words. Last year 8 of us went. This year 16 of us, plus a non-biking wife joining us mid-week, enjoyed an incredibly happy holiday there.

The food was still consistently good and plenty, all made from local produce with the best Italian cooking, which is what makes it so appealing to Hong Kong folks, who have themselves quite a high expectation of food back home.

Our bigger group this year was more diverse in terms of personal interests and cycling abilities. The hotel has made much greater effort at catering to our different needs, including by arranging a much shorter daily ride that provides more time for sightseeing and taking pictures on the way. The total number of daily rides has thus increased from about 3 last year to at least 5 this year, a notable increase in the hotel's outlay. Members of our group have followed a variety of guided rides, and found all the guides to be professional and caring, with some being humorous and entertaining during rides. They are bound to be an integral part of our holiday experience with Hotel Gambrinus.

Luca and Grazia, hosts of the hotel, have all the way been responsive and accommodating to all our needs and requests. Over the past 20 years running Gambrinus as a bike hotel, they must have already mastered the art and logistics of filling the week with an array of activities that appeal to keen and more casual cyclists alike. We have the feeling of being spoilt for choice, but also a lack of time (and energy) for exploring more of Riccione, Rimini and other places of interest in the vicinity. This, perhaps, is another reason why staying in Hotel Gambrinus can be a compulsive annual habit, as can be seen with some of the loyal guests we have met from Germany and the UK.

Hotel Gambrinus is the first bike hotel we have tried in Italy, and, though we can't say how it compares with other bike hotels, we will definitely say that it is one of the best for us.

Bravo, Grazia, Luca and all the hotel staff (whose names I can now almost all recall)!
Continue with your good work!

Paul (from Hong Kong)

Our second year still a marvellous biking holiday!

A party of 8, we started on a Friday and left on Thursday (while their standard package is 7 nights, from one Saturday to the next), but the hotel made some adjustments, so that we could enjoy no less fun than a normal full bike week. 

The hotel meets our needs for an affordable cycling holiday: rooms are not big but comfortable, with clean bathrooms and usable balconies. Their free laundry service for jerseys is a welcome bonus, but it's their service and food that we are most impressed with.

Marvellous biking: Their guided rides, at no extra cost, are outstanding, in no small part owing to the professional knowledge and dedication of their guides. Whatever the duration and routes, they could really showcase the best that the region could offer to cyclists. Since most of us have passed our prime, of the 3 daily guided rides, all but one of us went for the shortest and easiest one, of 50-60 km. It allows some time for brief visits to medieval villages, village churches containing renaissance art treasures, and coffee breaks at scenic locations. It’s amazing how much variety there is of terrains and landscapes, with almost no tracks repeated. 

Glorious food: Coming from Hong Kong, when we find the food to be good, we are quite confident in our judgement. We felt spoilt with dozens of items to choose from among their fresh local produce, quality seafood (e.g. mussels), and pastries and desserts meticulously prepared by their team of 3 chefs. The ‘Big Snack’, a welcome refreshment after the rides, is in fact a full-blown lunch buffet. Dinner, which on top of the buffet also provides selections of two exquisitely prepared hot dishes, is always a daily treat to look forward to.

As an option, biking and exceptional food are combined in a day within the week, where guests could cycle to a farm with some of the best views of the countryside, and take a long lunch feasting on some of the best local food and drinks, plus the possibility of visiting a wine production site and wine-tasting afterwards.

Great hospitality: Luca and Grazia, the hotel hosts, are considerate, well-organised, and very friendly, and they go about their work with such gusto and charm that you will soon stop feeling guests, but rather friends of the Nicoletti family and other guests. This ethos emanates from every member of staff.

Our stay could be untypical, this being our first holiday in a bike hotel in Italy, and we being the first group from Hong Kong to stay in the hotel. There were unexpected bonuses: we joined the hotel’s celebrations of their 60th anniversary, and were fortunate enough to take part in a Giro d’Italia Day (on its 100th anniversary), an event so well-organised by the hotel. But since we have met many guests who keep coming back year after year, from Brazil, UK and Germany, we think our positive experience, being exceptional, may not be an exception.


Marvellous biking, glorious food, great hospi!tality!

Stayed for a week on a great cycling trip in April. Provided excellent bikes for a low cost with very good guides with 75k routes on most days. 

Superb food provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Multiple courses, change daily. Friendly, very helpful staff and by the end all known by name by the end of the week.

Well recommended and will probably go in 2018.

Great stay, great people

This was my second visit and I plan to be back many times. Run by cycling fans, the staff make cyclists and non-cyclists really welcome. Everything possible is done to provide a brilliant holiday. It's in a great location close to beach, shops and bars, but in April is located in a quiet street. Great carbon bikes to rent at reasonable rates, excellent rides led by great guides. Recommend Hotel Gambrinus very highly.
