This is my honest and fair review of this hotel. it does have a lot of good points but is very tired in places and lacks maintenance. Location - Juts 5 minutes walk from the main station and 10/15 minutes walk to the main square and most of Bologna's main attractions. Appearance - The hotel is officially a 3 star hotel, but it lets itself down in a number of places. In our room the wall paper was peeling at the edges, the paintwork was peeling and the chair in the room had a torn fabric seat. A programme of refurbishment is needed. Staff - Our room was kept very clean by our maid and the reception desk were helpful with maps and advise of where to go. Food - The only food the hotel offers is their continental breakfast. I was aware of this before I booked, but was pleasantly surprised how good it was. The spread offered unlimited hot and cold drinks and juices, hard boiled eggs, hams, cheeses, cereals, yoghurts, pastries, croissants, fruits and salads. One would not leave the hotel in the mornings. Rooms - As I have mentioned our room was a little tired in places and could do with a revamp. But it did not detract from our comfort, the bed was huge and clean, the bed linens were pristine and spotless. The room had air con, good black out curtains, colour tv ( although very few English speaking channels) and a safe. The room also had a fridge and mini bar, but no price list so we had no idea what the contents would cost us. Nevertheless the room was nice and quite and we slept very well. Bathrooms - Had a toilet, bidet, shower and very soft toilet tissue. Good quality towels were provided along with basic shower gels, shampoos and soap. But again it was let down by small details, the sink did not have a plug, the shower door seals have gone so it leaked into the shower floor that had a couple of cracked tiles, and there was some evidence of mould in the shower itself. WIFI - The wifi was free, very good and strong throughout the hotel. Trips - We did one trip to San Marino, which was easy to arrange. Take the train to Rimini, right outside of the station is bus stop for the bus to San Marino. My top tip for this trip is to go as early as possible so you can spend as much time in San Marino as you can. Hotel Tax - There is a charge of 4 euros per night per person. Summary - This was a convenient hotel for us as it was close to the station, and was fine for the three nights we were there, whilst some maintenance is urgently required it was not sufficient to ruin my stay, but I do think if I was staying for any longer than 3 days I may have looked elsewhere.

“Adequate, convenient but forgettable”

Very convenient location for the train station, and the check in was efficient and extremely welcoming. The rooms are a bit dated, but comfortable enough. Where it lost rating with me was a couple of times the staff were a little borderline with their passive aggressiveness when making a request (we complied and did everything requested so no problem) and also the breakfast really wasn’t very good.
