Il luogo ideale per poter apprezzare Bologna.
Pros:

Posizione centrale tra la Stazione e il centro storico, ottima la colazione, camere ampie, pulite ed attrezzate per le esigenze degli ospiti.

Cons:

La richiesta all'arrivo di una carta a garanzia, nonostante il soggiorno già ampiamente pagato. Per sboccare l'importo a garanzia dalla carta, nonostante il pagamento del saldo relativo agli extra, occorrono 21 giorni, importo che comunque decurta la disponibilità residua sulla carta.

Otopark ve kahvaltı için tercih edilir, odaların acilen yenilenmesi lazım.
Pros:

Kahvaltıda çeşit bol. Konum gayet iyi. En önemli husus otopark sorunu yaşamamış olmamız

Cons:

Odalar eski, yenilenmesi lazım. Özellikle halıların acilen yenilenmesi lazım. Prizlerin ve aydınlatma düğmelerinin yerleri kullanışlı değil. Komidinlerin üzerinde olması gerekir.
