Das Eigentum — What Else
What Else is a compact 3-star in Rimini's central Marina district, a block from the beach and flanked by pizzerias and bike rental shops. The lobby feels functional — tiled floors, a small reception desk, a rack of local brochures — rather than fashionable. It suits budget-conscious travellers who spend daylight hours outside and just need a clean room, air conditioning and decent buffet breakfast.
Chroniken von Rimini
Rimini began as the Roman colony Ariminum in 268 BC, a strategic hub on the Via Flaminia. Its Arch of Augustus and the Tiberius Bridge still stand from that era. The Malatesta family ruled during the Renaissance, leaving the Tempio Malatestiano (a cathedral by Leon Battista Alberti). After World War II bombing largely flattened the old centre, Rimini rebuilt as a purpose-built mass-tourism resort, now Europe's third-largest by visitor numbers, with a 15-kilometre beachfront of hotels, lidos and nightclubs.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Rimini-Guide →Die besten Monate
May and September: warm sea, little rain, beaches uncrowded, most attractions open without queues. June also works if you avoid holiday weekends.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August — Italian school holidays and Ferragosto (15 Aug) fill every lido. Hotel rates rise 40-50% on average; book six months ahead. The Notte Rosa (first weekend July) paints the entire coast pink with parties and free concerts.
Budget Schulter Saison
Early October and late April. Daytime temps 18-22°C, lidos still partly open, hotel rates drop by a third. You’ll share the beach with retirees and dog walkers.
Wetter & Verpackung
Rimini in July is sticky — the Adriatic humidity sits heavy, and afternoon thunderstorms can appear suddenly. Pack light linen or cotton, a compact umbrella, and proper sandals for the pebbly sections of beach.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Rimini
- Rimini’s main railway station (Rimini Centrale) is undergoing platform upgrades through August 2026; check connections to Bologna and Ancona for possible delays of 10-20 minutes.
- The new Parco del Mare pedestrian-and-cycle promenade along the seafront opened fully in April 2026, linking Rimini to Riccione — rent a bike from the hotel (€12/day) to explore without traffic.
- The weekly Thursday market on Viale Tripoli has moved to Piazza Cavour until October due to roadworks in the old town; expect stronger crowds around the fish vendors.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to What Else, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (4th or above) for a quieter stay, as the hotel's Via degli Scalinella location means you'll be close to the city centre and likely face the bustling Marina Centro area. The lift serves all floors, making it easy to access any room.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing Via degli Scalinella, as they may be noisier due to the street traffic and potential nightlife. Rooms near the service entrance might also be more prone to noise from staff and deliveries.
Best views
You can request a room with a sea view, but note that the hotel's address on Via degli Scalinella means you'll be looking out towards the city centre, not directly onto the sea. The views will still be pleasant, especially during sunrise or sunset.
Quietest floors
3rd floor and above, as they are likely to be further away from the ground-level noise and activity on Via degli Scalinella.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some street noise from Via degli Scalinella, especially during peak season or late night events. If you're a light sleeper, consider using earplugs or requesting a room on a higher floor.
Insider tips
Book the on-site parking in advance to secure a spot, as it's limited and costs €20 per night. The nearby public car park, Garage della Repubblica, is a more affordable option at €18 per day. Request an accessible room if you need one, as the property has step-free access and wheelchair entries available upon request.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top-Attraktionen in Rimini
💡 Sit on the steps of the clock tower at sunset – the light hits the old buildings perfectly. The square is also where the weekly market sets up on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.
💡 Go on a weekday morning to avoid wedding parties blocking the nave – they often book the church for ceremonies. Check the side chapels for the best art.
💡 Cross the road to the little traffic island in front of it for the best photo angle without cars. Go at dusk when the arch is lit up – it's far more dramatic than in full sun.
💡 Walk to the far end near the riverbank – fewer tourists go there, and you'll find old plane trees and a quieter spot for a picnic. There's a free public fitness station by the basketball court.
💡 Entry costs €6, but it's free on the first Sunday of each month. The museum has a small rooftop terrace with views over the old town – ask staff to unlock it.
