"Stayed for two nights at this hotel in Bologna. It is located directly across from Bologna Centrale Train Station so if you are coming by train to Bologna from different parts of Italy it is an ideal location. It is also within 15 or so minutes walking of many of the sites within the old city. Besides location, the hotel staff was also a plus. We had a few questions and found the staff very friendly and helpful. The rooms and hotel in general are clean and well-kept with a slightly modern feel, particularly compared to many hotels I've stayed in Italy. Would stay here without hesitation if travels take me to Bologna again."

"It is easy to access this hotel from the airport, using the free train. But this area is very boring, no entertainment there. The hotel has few restaurants and there is a M&S just next door at the RER station."

"We stayed at the hotel from 3 until 9 April 2016 specifically to attend Bologna International Children's Book Fair that happened from 4 until 7 April 2016 at Bologna Fiere. Overall, we are satisfied with the hotel. The price was extremely reasonable, room was clean and fully equipped, staff was very accommodating and helpful. The only thing that is lacking is the location of the hotel which situated far from the fair place, and also from the city centre. Bus station is available just in front of the hotel, but in order to reach the fair place, we need to take 2 buses and it took us slightly more than an hour to reach the Fiere. By taxi is just around 10-15 minutes, but the fare is expensive which is around 25 euro for a way trip. But, the location is OK if you don't have to go to the Fiere as there is a direct bus to go to the city centre (Piazza Minghetti station, in specific). The hotel will be perfect for those who are driving. Breakfast was OK but would be good if the hotel can provide more varieties of menu."
