I booked this hotel from the EasyJet website, which actually runs from lastminute.com. From the location marked on the google maps, it seems like quite a walkable distance, both from the central railway station, and also back to the city centre of Bologna. Well, I after about 40 minutes of walking from the central station, finally we got to the hotel. The hotel is not located where easyJet hotel booking system’s map indicates, but further down the same street. I recommend you double check exactly where the hotel is and not rely on the marker on the map.
To get to and from Bologna you need to catch a bus from the street behind the hotel, about a 50m walk. The cost of the bus is €1.50 for an hour ticket.
From the outside, the building is quite modern. The foyer and the restaurant area looks good. The rooms are quite clean and tidy, although the bathroom could be cleaner. The showerhead only had about 20 holes which water trickled out of, the other holes were blocked. The decor in the bathroom was outdated, but functional and acceptable. It’s fine for what you pay, but I wish I got a hotel closer to Bologna city centre.
Internet is charged at €5 for 40 mins.
The morning breakfast was great. The staff is friendly and helpful.
