20 minute walk from the railway station which is connected to the airport by the Marconi Express railway. Very convenient location for the city centre. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby but surprisingly quiet during the night so no disrupted sleep. Clean room but shower could probably do with a refurbish. Would probably stay here again if in Bologna.

L’intero hotel e’ in ristrutturazione esterna quindi sei prigioniero in stanza. Non puoi nemmeno aprire una finestra. Assenza totale di decorazione, sembra di stare in una stanza di ospedale. Breakfast appena decente. In stanza, sanitario che si muoveva dal pavimento, tenda doccia a brandelli, assenza totale di shampoo per 4 giorni di fila. Reception molto gentile e disponibile. Ubicazione centrale
