Categories

Cleanliness
8.9
Multiple reviews explicitly call the property and rooms 'clean' and 'well-kept' (e.g., 'Struttura pulita', 'Bardzo czysto'), though there are isolated mentions of unpleasant bathroom smells that were addressed.
Service
8.8
Staff described as helpful and friendly in several reviews ('The staff were really helpful', 'freundliche Mitarbeiter', 'ospitalità e gentilezza'), indicating consistently good service.
Location
9
Strong positive consensus: excellent for Bologna Fiere and convenient by highway/exit for transit ('nearby to Bologna Fiere', 'comoda vicino uscita autostrada', 'vicinanza con l'innesto in autostrada').
Room Quality
8.5
Rooms are generally described as spacious and comfortable with good beds, but some specific issues reported (ground-floor rooms with mosquitoes, occasional bathroom smell).
Amenities
8.5
Good range of on-site amenities noted (private parking, restaurant, pool mentioned), ample dining space; however parking enforcement and occasional quality issues (coffee machine) were raised.
Value for Money
7.5
Several comments point to value concerns: price seen as a bit high, additional paid items (no complimentary water), parking not always reserved/enforced, making overall value weaker than other categories.
Food and Beverage
8.7
Breakfast is frequently praised as abundant, varied and excellent, and the hotel restaurant is appreciated; a few negatives include a neglected breakfast comment and low-quality coffee machine or crowded restaurant at dinner.
Overall Experience
8.1
Overall solid and reliable for business/fiere and transit stays with pleasant rooms, good breakfast and helpful staff, tempered by occasional issues around value, parking and minor room/bathroom nuisances.

Bella camera, ottima posizione per spostarsi in auto.
Pros:

Posizione comoda se sei munito di automobile. Parcheggio disponibile comodissimo.
La colazione è ottima e variegata.
Camera ampia e comoda così come il bagno

Cons:

Prezzo rispetto ai servizi un pò elevato, anche perchè in camera non vi è compresa neanche una bottiglietta d'acqua, è tutto a pagamento, quasi tutti gli hotel comprendono almeno l'acqua di benvenuto.
Il prezzo tra soggiorno, acqua e tassa di soggiorno è pari ad altri con servizi e standard più elevati, si potrebbe concedere qualcosina.
Se sei a piedi e devi usare i mezzi è una tragedia.
