Gute gelegenes Hotel, bei welchem leider das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis überhaupt nicht stimmt.
Pros:

Die Lage ist top. Das Zimmer ist ruhig. Das Bett ist sehr gut. Das Frühstück gut und die Leute die bedienen sehr aufmerksam und freundlich.

Cons:

Das Pseudo-Afrikanische und billige Design im Zimmer ist einfach nur schrecklich. Durchgesessene Sofas in blauem Leopradenmuster. Ein sehr kleines Fenster auf den Innenhof, was das Zimmer auch bei Tag dunkel sein lässt. Peinliche Ausstellungsvitrine mit Tierfiguren. Das ganze Zimmer ist pseudo-afrikanisch bemalt. Man fühlt sich mit diesem Design richtig unwohl.
Das Bad ist zwar gross, aber leider nur ein Lavabo und Duschen in der Badewanne, wo alles rausspritzt. Ausser Badetücher in Frottee waren der Rest der Tücher im Bad kleine "Leintücher". Der Preis von €400 pro Nacht für das Zimmer ist in keinsterweise gerechtfertigt. Angemessen wären €200-250.

Μια πολύ καλή επιλογή!
Pros:

Η τοποθεσία του ξενοδοχείου είναι ιδανική, η φιλοξενία εξαιρετική (δωράκι απο την ιδιοκτησία, μια μικρή σαμπάνια στην παγοθήκη κατά την άφιξη κλπ). Το πρωινό πλήρες, το δωμάτιο ικανοποιητικό και καθαρό.

Excellent
Pros:

A great location, it couldn't be more central. Perfect for visiting the sights and soaking up the vibrant city centre atmosphere. Our room was comfortable with pleasing decor and overall we'd recommend it. We will return next time we are in Bologna.
