It was a pleasant stay, AC kept rising on its own, shower enclosure leaked tremendous water, tiles need attention for mo
Pros:

Lovely grounds, in Centro and easy to navigate

We didn’t spend too much time within the property, it was adequate however the washroom tiled walls need some attention for mold growth

UNA NOTTE A BOLOGNA

Si può fare di più..
Pros:

Colazione super! Straconsigliata! Ricchissima e tutto molto buono. Posizione hotel favolosa. Si raggiunge il centro città a piedi.

Cons:

Migliorerei l'aspetto delle camere. Il mio bagno aveva molto calcare intorno al rubinetto. Le parti cromate del bagno si vedeva che erano molto datate. Toglierei la moquette in favore di un normale pavimento. Non presenti le prese vicino al letto, abbiamo dovuto spostare i comodini in avanti per andare a trovare le prese.

Спа отличный массаж. Завтрак хороший, в целом впечатление очень приятное
Pros:

Очень большой отель, все монументальное.

Cons:

Фен в номере. Это просто анахронизм. Его выпустили в 60 годы. Не позже. Он ничего не сушит, даже совсем тонкие волосы
