The hotel is wonderfully located near the city center and train station, making it convenient for all types of travelers. The rooms, though showing their age, are spacious and equipped with all necessary amenities, featuring excellent beds and lovely linens. The service was top-notch overall, with a wide range of services offered. The dining experience provided a good selection of hot and cold items but lacked in some sanitary measures. The location is superb for a comfortable stay, although some larger buildings disrupt the view. The facilities were adequate for a pleasant stay.

The hotel offers comfortable and well-equipped rooms, but noise disturbance from neighboring rooms can be a drawback. The service is pleasant and accommodating, although certain areas like breakfast could be improved. Its location near the train station is convenient for business travelers but not ideal for exploring cultural attractions in Bologna. The dining options are varied but could benefit from more freshness and variety. Overall, a decent choice with some room for enhancement.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although small for the price, were well-equipped with nice amenities, but lacking some essentials like an iron and a tea tray.
