The hotel is conveniently located between the airport and the city center, making it great for short term business travel or city exploring. The rooms are a bit old-fashioned but cozy, and it was quite warm inside. The balcony was a nice touch to let in some fresh air. The service provided was very kind and helpful, which was quite convenient for heading to the airport the next day. The location is rated okay, with a walking distance of about 30/40 minutes to Bologna city center. The dining experience could have been better with more fruit options. The hotel facilities were adequate for a pleasant stay, offering a welcoming and professional atmosphere.

My stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms, although not entirely clean, were located on the 7th floor with a nice balcony to let in fresh air. The service, especially from the exhibition staff, was fantastic and very helpful. The location, while a bit far from the historical center, was good for those with a car due to free onsite parking and convenient bus access to the city center. The dining options were reasonable for the price paid. Additionally, the facilities were excellent with various amenities available.
