This is a tremendous hotel and worth the quick cab ride from the station. The breakfast was varied and the staff was pleasant and helpful. The folks at the front desk were great and arranged our dinner reservations since we don't speak Italian. The bedroom was clean and comfortable.

Super schöne Unterkunft! Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit! Die Zimmer haben alles was man braucht (Klimaanlage war wichtig) und der Innenhof ist wunderschön grün. Die Lage des Hotels war hervorragend um fußläufig Bologna zu erkunden. Das Auto konnten wir vor dem Hotel mit einem 24 Stunden Ticket für 9€ parken, da die Garage voll war (haben wir aber auch vorab nicht angefragt). Insgesamt seeehr zu empfehlen!
