Very clean and comfortable room. Front desk staff were friendly and fast at check in and check out. Had an excellent dinner in the restaurant. Be aware that the hotel is a 15 minute walk from the nearest bus stop, and with the current construction on the roads in between, this walk is over uneven terrain that will be challenging with heavy bags. So, highly recommended but caveat emptor if you're not arriving by car.

Awesome hotel on the edge of Bologna. Beautiful rooms, really nicely appointed. Lots of parking on site. Great restaurant for both breakfast and dinner. The only nit was that the pool was closed for maintenance during our stay. We'd deliberately looked for a pool before booking. :-(
