The city is more sophisticated than expected and my stay was excellent
Pros:

I liked this hotel and was given a bright bedroom with small private shower and toilet. I liked the minibar fridge and television which was in my bedroom. The hotel was located in the centre of Bologna which was great. It is a 5 minute walk from Piazza Maggiore so I easily walked to see the magnificant Basilica di San Petronio gothic church and the Santa Maria dei Servi church. There was a great restaurant on Piazza Maggiore where I stopped for lunch 'Bar Vittorio Emanuele@ and lots of other small cafes on the same street as the Donatello Hotel selling ice-cream, pizza and coffee. I recommend the Vanity Cafe and Cafe Eden also. I found the exclusive shopping centre GALLERIA CAVOUR with designer shops: Chanel ladieswear, Gucci clothes and shoes , Armani, Louis Vuitton handbags and Max Mara shop was nearby and this is near the investment banks and a lovely area of Bologna.
