    Functional ”

    This is a basic, no frills hotel in a great location if, like me, you’re doing a flying visit to Bologna. Room was clean and I had everything I needed. Breakfast is basic but is perfectly adequate to start the day (the coffee was great!) and the staff are all friendly and helpful. If you’re doing three or four nights in the city you might want to look elsewhere but for cheap and cheerful this is perfectly fine.

    En plena ola de calor, el aire acondicionado no funcionaba y hacía más ruido que el tractor. Nos quejamos varias veces y la recepcionista no quiso subir a verlo. Como alternativa nos ofreció un ventilador que lo único que hacía era mover el aire caliente. No se nos ofreció ninguna solución y tuvimos que pagar por un servicio del que no disfrutamos. Nadie se quiso hacer cargo de ello.

    Hotel nel centro di Bologna e vicino alla stazione alla quale si può giungere anche con le valigie a piedi vista la brevità del tragitto. Camere pulite e confortevoli. Data la sua centralità è comodissimo anche per chi voglia uscire a piedi la sera e tornare senza usufruire dei mezzi.Ci torneremo sicuramente!

    BUON HOTEL”

    Consiglio l'hotel per la sua posizione, in via Indipendenza, vicino sia alla stazione che si può raggiungere a piedi, che dal "centro" città (piazza maggiore, torri ecc.). L'hotel è pulito e abbastanza confortevole, però la camera che ci è stata assegnata (tripla al 5° piano - mansarda) aveva spazi limitati, una finestra/lucernaio a soffitto e la moquette che personalmente non gradisco perchè per quanto pulita può raccogliere polvere e sporco. Il bagno piccolino ma fornito di tutto (anche bidet a scomparsa sotto il lavandino) con un'ampia doccia, e set cortesia. Asciugamani cambiati ogni giorno. Molto disponibile e gentile il personale; pur non avendo prenotato la colazione ci hanno fornito il latte per la bambina, mattina e sera e alla partenza abbiamo potuto lasciare le valigie, tutto senza alcun sovrapprezzo. Lo consiglio.
