Excellent centrally located hotel good value for money and friendly staff
Pros:

This hotel was wonderful from the very welcoming and friendly reception where I was told they had upgraded me to a double room. The room was immaculate with lovely quiet air conditioning, kettle, fridge, ensuite modern shower and toiletries. Breakfast was included which was basic but adequate. I moved from Hotel Bologna Palace Centro which was disgraceful. Beware it has NO AIR CONDITIONING.

Cons:

Everything was perfect.

Ottimo
Pros:

L'hotel Donatello è in una posizione comodissima, lo staff è gentile e professionale.

Cons:

L'interno delle camere non è futuristico, le stanze migliorerebbero tantissimo con un rimodernamento, sia stilistico che tecnico, soprattutto nei bagni, ma nel complesso si sta bene.
