Pros: Service was excellent! The best I have ever experienced. Real 5 star service from the doorman, front desk, restaurant staff, bar tender, housekeeping, etc., all the employees were extremely courteous, helpful, attentive, and professional.
Hotel is very nicely and tastefully decorated, lots of artwork and fancy walls, ceilings, etc, and our room was very comfortable. They gave us a free upgrade upon check-in (from a deluxe room to a grand deluxe).
Location is perfect - it is right in the middle of town, close to all the attractions, restuarants, and shopping. Yet the inside of the hotel is very quiet and relaxing.
Breakfast buffet (included in our room rate) was AMAZING!! Excellent food, lots of choices, and of course excellent service from the staff.
I think it would be OK for kids, but it is probably better suited for adults.
My wife and I had a wonderful time and I highly recommend this hotel!

Cons: We got there late at night and could not get to the street. The stuff is nice and polite. the hotel was too kitchy for us, the price was very high for the value. The room they gave us was very far and noisy from the motors of the a\c. With this cost you would expect more!

Pros: I stayed at this hotel with my husband for 7 nights. We originally booked a deluxe rm & on arrival the hotel upgraded us to an executive suite which we appreciated. It was lovely & very comfortable. The location is excellent, straight across from the train station. Noise was not an issue. Hotel well insultated from outside noise. The downside was breakfast could have been more varied. Various items ran low eg croissants/bread, there was a slowness to refill these items. Basically,iit wasn't topped up. The threadmill in the gym was not working & was not repaired even though we inquired. Hotel very expensive, 2 drinks cost €14. The hotel is way overpriced for the services provided. Would have to re-think if I would stay there again

Pros: Proximity to the train station
Cons: The hotel is extremely dated, and we were placed in a smoking room, which we didn't even realize still existed. The room smelled disgusting, and we had to keep the window open to circulate the air...and also to cool us down because the heat setting in the room was unbearable and not adjustable.

Pros: We stayed in Bologna only to use it as a base for traveling via train to another smaller town. It was very convenient to the train station - just a short walk across the street/around the corner.
Cons: While pleasant, the front desk staff were not very helpful. We stayed on a Sunday night, and upon returning from our day trip, we requested a recommendation for a local hotel. We were told "It's Sunday, you'll just have to walk this way (with an arrow on a map) and see if anything is open." While we understand that many restaurants are not open on Sunday, it would be useful for the front desk to be able to provide at least one recommendation and directions for those of us not familiar with the area. In particular this would have been helpful, as the menu at the restaurant offered very limited (something like four) options, and indicated that many were "made with frozen ingredients."

Pros: We were forced to cancel the trip due to Italy quarantine, covid lockdown and all flight to and from Italy being canceled for the period we had the trip.
I anticipated this and contacted the property 6 weeks in advance to ask for cancellation (although my booking was not cancellable). The hotel refused to cancel and refund and charged us. Shame they took advantage of this situation in such pitiful way.

5,0 Okay
Pros: The room was a good size, always clean and staff were approachable.
Cons: The situation of the hotel leaves something to be desired! In order to get anywhere, including the conference centre, you have to walk along the side of a dual carriage way where there is no pavement, and past several prostitutes and their meeting ground which can be very intimidating and unpleasant. I would not advise that young women stay in this hotel alone for this reason unless you plan on getting taxis to go anywhere.
4,3 Okay
Pros: The Rewards Program and use of the iMac in the Business Center.
Cons: It is too far from the center and charging 15 euros for parking at a suburban hotel is thievery! Cars are lined up all around the entrance blocking the way when there is a huge nearly empty carpark - they have LOTS of space!

Only 2minutes from the train station and about 15-20mins walk from the heart of the historic centre. The walk itself is fine however as the route takes you past plenty of shops and places to eat.
The breakfast was sufficient and varied- plenty to set you up for the day. The room was big and spacious.
