Great value and pool

Great location an amazing olympic size swimming pool and free parking. Breakfast was included and had great selections. Nice size shopping mall and mercado 5 minute walk from the hotel. Unfortunately taxi rides are very expensive to go to Old Town which is about 5 km away. There is a bus that takes you there but not on weekends or holidays.

Great place to stay

We had a triple prestige room for my wife, daughter (15) and myself. There was ample space and the beds were comfy. The included breakfast was very good, but it didget busy towards the end of service. The pool is amazing being Olympic size. You do have to pay for the sunbeds and umbrellas, but that does mean they are available and not just covered in towels from 7am. But if you are planning several days around the pool the costs will mount up. The hotel is a little bit out of the city centre and a taxi will cost about €25 each way. There is a bus but it takes over an hour. Best to have a car.

The property is in a good position just outside Bologna, just a 15 min cab ride from the city centre. Some of the facilities were not open (pool) due to the time of year. The food in the restaurant was very good and the buffet breakfast was good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would use the hotel again.

Dejligt rolig hotel.

Rigtig fint hotel, der dog har slid fra de mange gæster. Skøn enkel morgenmad, og venlig personale. Det der dog virker helt urimeligt er at man betaler rigtig mange penge i leje af solsengen, hvis ikke man ønsker at sole på en trappe. Ca. halvdelen af poolen er lukket af til svømmer som kommer udefra. Og der er kun stige til at komme op i den ene ende.

A very nice hotel a bit too far from the city

Had an enjoyable stay at the Living Place Hotel. Used it as a base to travel around. Hotel was nice and airy, breakfast good, pool was welcome as the temperatures got higher. Restaurant was also very good. Room was average and air con didn’t seem to cool it a great deal resulting in warm nights. Overall an enjoyable stay and would recommend as a base but it is a little too far from the city of Bologna for evening meals or exploring.
