Insgesamt ist das Hotel für einen kurzen Aufenthalt zu empfehlen.
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist gut. In 10-15 Minuten erreicht man die Sehenswüdigkeiten der Stadt. Viele gute Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nähe.
Das Frühstück ist sehr reichhaltig und gut.
Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen. Hier müsste m.E. modernisiert werden.

Pros:

Sehr schönes und angenehmes Hotel für einen Zwischenstopp auf dem Weg in den Süden. Angenehmes, Zimmer, sehr gute Klimaanlage, bequeme Betten, sehr gutes Frühstück, sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter. Unser Auto war in der Tiefgarage des Hotels sicher untergebracht. Die Lage nahe dem Stadtzentrum ist ideal für eine Besichtigungstour durch Bologna, alles ist zu Fuß erreichbar.

Pros:

Hotel curat si ingrijit, aproape de gara din Bologna. Camera mare si confortabila. Mi-a placut mult micul dejun. Am servit si cina la restaurantul hotelului, mancarea a fost foarte buna iar servirea ireprosabila.
