The Hotel Savina is a great, basic hotel in Rimini, only about a 5 miin walk to the beach. Rooms were air conditioned and cleaned daily, with a little balcony; breakfast was tasty with lots of choice. From the hotel it's very close to the main street with a huge choice of restaurants, and less touristy ones off the main street are nearby too.
You can walk into the city centre (about 45-60 min walk), or get the bus from the main street, and see Roman ruins and lovely churches and buildings.
Rimini is a lovely city to visit, with a fantastic beach, and the Hotel Savina is a great base to see it all from!
