It’s good, close to many important parts of Bologna. I just didn’t have hot water... I didn’t really care since it is summer time but if it’s important to you—you should ask. But I did have AC! Which is a must if you come during summer.

The hotel is in a very nice location and central. Very calm street, but in the room 101, you hear the noise of the kitchen every morning from 6 o'clock and the door bangs every 1 minute. Even though I explained the problem, they did not do anything about it. Not very clean and pretty old standard. The window gives you an extremely nice view of the a/c in the central air canal.

Good location

1st impression was bad! We were put in an attic twin bedroom with just a skylight. The bathroom was tiny with a skylight. The lift was tiny and very old. My claustrophobia and anxiety kicked in immediately and I had to request a lower floor a window. The following day we moved rooms but had to share a double bed (pillows down the middle). We got our outside window, this was overlooking a void. We just decided to make do with what we had. The double bed was comfortable and clean. The tea tray wasn't filled up each day and neither was the toiletries, that was disappointing. The breakfast was plentiful and tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was good, a kilometre from Bologna Train Station. Also a good location to visit the main square and on Sunday evening the main street was closed to traffic while everyone enjoyed the street entertainment and apertivo!

Very basic accommodation

Stayed 3 nights for Imola grand prix - very tired hotel - old decor in very small bedroom- the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on - soft soggy mattress - ineffective aircon and the shower was just hopeless. Nothing like photographs on website. On the plus side the staff were very pleasant and the breakfast was good. The hotel just needs an urgent upgrade.

Don’t expect a twin room but a very good breakfast

I booked this hotel months ago based on photos from the site and assumptions that there was a real possibility of a twin room vs a double bed. I realize Hotels.com says there’s no guarantee that you’ll get your request honored, but the hotel contacted me 2 days before check-in and hours before we were due to travel by train, leaving us little time to make other arrangements. We decided to keep the reservation, and shouldn’t have been surprised that we were given a very small room with a double bed in a hotel that is just ok. In fairness, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was exceptional.
