Pros:

Liked the Old Fashioned feel of the place with excellent staff. Beds comfortable, AC worked well. Spacious room.Breakfast had a good selection of food at the buffet and the room had a grand feel to it. My only complaint about breakfast was that the coffee was not hot.

Cons:

Water not particularly hot. Lighting poor for reading in bed as only one light between twin beds that could not be directed..Did not like the paper cups in the room for making hot drinks. A hotel of this standard should have China or ceramic cups.

TOP- Hotel in perfekter Lage
Pros:

Sehr gute Lage in Bologna, nur ein paar Schritte zum Bahnhof ( mit Zug zum Flughafen 8 Min!)
Auch das touristische Zentrum von Bologna ist zu Fuß rasch zu erreichen! Die ganze Anlage sehr sauber. Trotz zentraler Lage ist die Gegend dort ruhig und ohne Verkehrslärm. Ausgezeichnetes Frühstück vor allem die Auswahl der Süßspeisen ist genial.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist zwar kein Schnäppchen aber dafür alles sehr hochwertig und professionell…

Great stay
Pros:

Location, Breakfast and the reception areas were excellent.

Cons:

Rooms were a bit tired. There was a leak in the bathroom coming from the room above which dripped on you while on the toilet. It looked as though this had been a problem for a while, we did report so hopefully it will be fixed. I. Our friends room the toilet seat was loose

There was a lovely balcony but no furniture that would have been nice.

Pros:

Es hat mir sehr gefallen, dass ich nach Rückkehr vom Früstück ein gemachtes und gesäubertes Zimmer vorfand. Sehr erfreulich war, dass in meinem Zimmer die Klimaanlage tatsächlich funktionierte, d.h. auch auszuschalten war. Eher eine Seltenheit in vielen Hotels in Italien.
Das Frühstücksbuffet bietet alles, was man wünscht.
Begeistert war ich vom Restaurant Spoon. Dort war nicht nur die Qualität der Gerichte sehr sehr gut. Insbesondere der Service des Restaurants war rundherum exzellent! Der Bar-Service war sehr aufmerksam und zuvorkommend.

Cons:

Sollte ich noch einmal nach Bologna kommen, wünschte ich mir besseres Wetter. Zwei Tage Regen waren einfach nicht das, was ich mir erhofft hatte.
