Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Outside the historic centre — The hotel sits on the outskirts, so reaching Piazza Maggiore and the main sights requires a bus or drive, not a walk.
- Basic facilities for the price — With a Facilities rating of 7.1 and a price from GBP 203, some may find the amenities less extensive than expected for the cost.
- Mixed comfort scores — Comfort rates at 7.4, below the overall rating, suggesting some inconsistency in room comfort.
- Motorway proximity — The location near the highway can bring traffic noise, though one reviewer noted effective insulation.

7.8Verified guest“Our room was clean and bright with a good bathroom, and the location was handy for both the airport and the city centre.”
7.8Verified guest“The building and rooms are nice, the bathroom was clean, and breakfast offered a great range of choices.”
7.8Verified guest“The staff were excellent throughout. We enjoyed our standard double room and a delicious breakfast. The bathroom was spotless. Location was unbeatable – close to a bus stop and Piazza Maggiore.”
7.8Verified guest“Well placed for the Bologna fair and the motorways. The team was very good, the room offered good value, the bathroom was large, breakfast was decent, and free internet and parking were available. Some earlier comments mention ladies outside – they were outside the hotel, not inside, and they didn't bother us at all. I felt those comments were unfair to the hotel, and I'm not paid for this review.”
7.8Verified guest“Everything was perfect – bright rooms, kind staff, exceptionally comfortable beds, central heating, a private safe and pay TV in the room. Breakfast was marvellous with lots of options, and the location was unbeatable, just 0.5 miles from the airport. Excellent customer care, parking next to the hotel, free Wi-Fi throughout. A really great stay, as always.”
