I have nothing but good things to say about this hotel in regards to location, cleanliness, style and reception staff, but in regards to security be very very careful.
The hotel itself is situated just on the outskirts of the city, next to the main ring road (rooms are sound proof) meaning connections are good. It is about a 5 minute drive from Bologna centre and 15-20 minutes from the airport.
On arrival our room the reception staff were friendly and informative and advised that our room was not ready, but offered us a free drink at the bar, where we waited 10 minutes while they finished off our room for us. The room was exactly like pictured...a spacious contempory junior suite. The safe we found a bit awkward to use, but eventually managed to store our travel documents in it. One day during our stay I left by a very expensive diamond and pearl bracelet out on the bedside table. When we came back to the room later, it had been cleaned and the bracelet had gone!!! This you do not expect to happen anywhere, as on numerous occasions I have left things in hotels and they have not been touched!! I reported this to recpetion but heard nothing back. This put a real downer on the holiday stay :(
Otherwise I recommend eating at the onsite restaurant as the food and service was brilliant.
I would not however stay in this hotel or recommend it to friends and family due to my bracelet being stolen.....regardless of how nice, central and friendly people were.....
Be warned.....
