Hyvä jos liikennemelun saisi pois

Hyvä sijainti lähellä rautatieasemaa ja keskustaa. Muuten hyvä hotelli, mutta liikenteen melu häiritsi. Huoneemme oli vilkasliikenteisen kadun puolella.

Für ein 4-Sterne Hotel hatte ich mir mehr erhofft. Es wirkten eher wie 3-Sterne. Das Frühstücksbuffet lohnt sich leider gar nicht. Nur die Lage war top.

Siisti hotelli, lähellä juna-asemaa. Vastapäätä on linja-autoasema. Kadun äänet ei meitä häirinnyt,huoneen sai viilennettyä hyvin. Suihkutilat siistimiskorjausta vailla,pöydän reunat repsottaa,suihkun osa irtosi. Juomalaseja ei huoneessa ollut. Aamypala perusitaliaano.

Esta muy cerca de la estación de trenes de Bolonia, puedes llegar caminando. Asimismo está cerca del centro de la ciudad y de los puntos de interés turístico, también a pie. El Aeropuerto se encuentra a 15 minutos en taxi y puedes pedirlo en el hotel. Las instalaciones del hotel son modernas y limpias. Cerca de la zona hay poca gente, a unos pasos está una tienda donde puedes comprar bebidas y muchas cosas chinas.

Nice hotel, great location, lovely staff. Only negative is that there was no AC at the time of our visit (staff said due to the law). You are on a main road so there is loud road noise and when you the window open to cool down the room, was showing 30 degrees when windows was closed! (very uncomfortable) Asked about moving rooms to the back of the hotel away from the road, but was told we would have to upgrade our room as all standard rooms are road facing, upgrade was an extra €20 a night! Overall, a pleasant stay, close enough to walk into the city centre but far enough away to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Bologna.
