Pros +
- The room, bathroom, and public spaces were all very comfortable.
- The hotel is across the train station, so very convenient if taking day trips from Bologna. The staff is very helpful and promt. And the rooms are big, clean and very well kept!
- Staff very helpful, all spoke great English! Location was great,food was fantastic!
Cons -
- The air conditioning wasn't very cold, even when set to the lowest possible temperature (in fact, the actual temperature was the same regardless of the setting) and we had trouble sleeping at night. That was the only downside of the property.
- Rusty stains in bathroom was my only negative experience
- Room was a bit small, but that's standard for centrally located hotels throughout Europe.

Overall, it met our expectations. Convenient location just across from Bologna Centrale station; clean room; attractive lobby and public areas; excellent breakfast; very attentive staff.
Room was a bit small, but that's standard for centrally located hotels throughout Europe.
