    It's a student hostel, so lot's of drama and gossip.

    The location is great...unless you arrive by a FlixBus, which drops you off 3 km away (40 min. by foot). Kitchen was often occupied but everyone worked well with those conditions. The Japanese guy who works in the evenings is very helpful and kind, but the Italian woman who works in the mornings at the reception desk is not either, initially anyway.

    My room(single bed room with private bathroom) and the shared bathroom are common walls, I could hear everything it was really awful. I couldn't get a proper sleep during my stays.

    Location, which was 10 minutes walk away from rimini Station.

    N/A

    I only stayed here for one night (I got there in the morning and left the following morning), so I have very little to say about it beyond that the beds were comfortable and a couple of idiots in my room talked all night.

    No towels provided, bathroom in the dorm had water all over the floor constantly. There are loca here in the dorm room but not all were big enough to get a padlock into meaning that in my case, the guy below me who appeared to be staying long term had put all of his stuff into the locker reserved for my bed - meaning I had no locker. Power sockets provided but if in the top bunk you won’t be able to use them as the beds are wedged up against the power socket meaning you not get a plug into them - so this needs to be thought through a bit more

    Very friendly staff. Decent location being about a 10 minute walk from the train station. Basic but cheap breakfast and cheap bar too. Good Wi-Fi.

    The only thing I would say, there was no electric socket near to my bed. There was only USB socket, but it was creating coil whine noise, so I had to unplug my phone in the night.

    The staff were nice. It was a pleasant accommodation generally. It is nearly 15 minutes from train station, easy to find. It is good for the price.

    No elevator, so if you have a heavy suitcase or backpack, be prepared to do some exercise climbing those stairs. Only one bathroom on my floor for all the rooms.

    Good location within walking distance to the train station and the beach. Close to the bus stop and with several restaurants nearby. Check in was easy and fast. The room was a bit small and stuffy even with the fan on, but at least it wasn't noisy. Good value for money.

    The use of bathrooms and toilets are with keys and being shared by many people, so its a bit annoying to to lock and unlock everytime you want to use.

    The staff are sometimes rude, sometimes nice...didn't really make sense. The breakfast was just like 3 pears, some cereal, some bread, a basic coffee machine and some sugary toppings. 5 euro key deposit.

    You basically get what you pay for - not less, but not much more. If you're into parties, when I went there were people partying until 5am.

    I was supposed to have breakfast included but nothing out at 8 am as stated. The 4-bed room was maybe 8x10 with a small ceiling fan and no AC. It was 90° at night and the windows were wide open to try to get any breeze however the street is super loud and construction started around 6 am outside. The bathroom is old and dingy and shared on the hall. But not many options in Rimini so… they are spending money to redo the outside of the building so hopefully will spend money on the inside now too

    It’s about 15 mins from the train station and they have free luggage storage.

    I haven't had breakfast there, but I've heard they have delicious fresh fruit too! the building's Fasade was under reconstruction, but it didn't disturb me. the walls are very thin so that every door opened and closed, I thought it was ours. when the neighbors went showering, felt like they were showering next to you. all in all not really calm, but that's what you expect when going to a hostel full of young ppl ; ) they have lockers in the rooms big enough for hand luggage. I loved that they have bathrooms in the room! they collaborate with Bagno Delle Rose 10, which is right next to the hostel and has good prices for the sun lounge. They have bikes to rent. they are not in the best shape but are enough to ride around the city. I LOVED the location of the hostel! if I go to Rimini again, I'll choose Sunflower again!

    Not very good internet connection in my room. No soap in the bathroom.

    Great location, supermarket near by, just couple of hundred meters to the beach. Also very close to the train station. Nice staff team, very kind and helpful. Kitchen is well equipped and decently clean. They provided me with a towel, i appreciate that. Lockers in the room for storage. That's good!

    Although the room had a private bathroom, to say it was bigger than 2m² would be lying. There was no actual shower but only a curtain that would also cover the toilet, so you would wet the toilet regardless. My bed didn't have a plug socket nearby so I had to leave my phone far from me or go to the lounge to recharge it. My roommates were silent but they had the room as if they were living for months there, clothes everywhere

    Good breakfast for a cheap price, check-in and check-out hours are good and is very close to everything (beach, train station...). Good ambience
