Traditionsreiches Haus mit guter Parkmöglichkeit
Pros:

In Bologna ist es ein großer Vorteil, wenn man direkt am Hotel parken kann. Das haben wir sehr geschätzt, genauso wie die Lage und die Freundlichkeit des Personals. Das Hotel ist nicht auf dem neuesten Stand, aber es hat eine Klima-Anlage!! Und es hat den Charme eines traditionsreichen Hauses mitten in der Stadt.

Nochmals Bologna sofort dieses Hotel
Pros:

Die Lage direkt bei der Altstadt.
Ausgezeichnetes Frühstück auf der Terrasse mit Blick auf die Stadt.
Parkplatz im Hof zwar relativ teuer aber sonst keine Chance.

Cons:

Ein kleiner Minispunkt ist die Dusche.
Sehr klein und nur über Kopf fixer Duschkopf
