Overall it was a good hotel. The staff were phenomenal! The only item that was a disappointment, was the fact upon our departure early, 0645, in the morning, prior to our train, the breakfast area was set-up, when we tried to grab a coffee/juice we were notified that it was closed and not available; although it was all out and ready. We were informed it would not be available to us until 0730. My point being, if it is there, we are paid customers, we should be able to grab a coffee and juice at minimum. Again, paid customers.

Brilliant hotel with 24 hour helpdesk which helped as our flight was delayed and we got to the hotel at midnight. The furniture is a bit dated in the room but it was spotlessly clean everyday. A very convenient location 19 min to Bologna Central train and 10 min to the main square and almost all the main attractions . The staff were friendly and checkout is at 11:30 min much is generous. We could also leave our bags at reception in the cupboard after checkout as our flight was in the evening. Overall a brilliant hotel for the price

I chose this hotel for it's proximity to the train station (and the airport via Marconi Express), as well as the bus line I used to commute. Besides that I also really liked the closeness to the historic center. There was no hot water for the first two days.

Good Stay

Our stay was good, the hotel, staff etc were nice. One complaint we had was that on the website it states parking is available but the hotel does not offer free parking and this was one of the reasons I booked this hotel. The parking garage is close to the hotel and charges €25 a day.
