We went for 4**** Hotel with a great location (walking distance to the race track-as they mention on their web site and yes it is,BUT the ENTRANCE TO THE CIRCUIT IS FROM OTHER SIDE,which is reachable within 15 minutes by CAR ) and ended up arguing in a dark,'elderly' reception with poor english speaking receptionists because they gave us room which did not match the room profile from their website and which I booked.So the room was changed - still not what they promote on the pictures,but better than the 1st one.Overall impression from the hotel - dark,no atmosphere,requires reconstruction,lobby needs to be changed desperately-looks very cheap and unclean,get a new furniture and a designer....Staff- not really welcoming and supportive,main problem -non english speakers ( which I quiet wonder because Imola is known for their circuit and I imagine they have a lot of international quests )......Food -thanks god we only had breakfast there.It was terrible-scrambled eggs swimming in olive oil,terrible coffee + no electricity in the whole hotel till midday..So Im not quiet sure how they made the breakfast (and probably I rather dont want to know).The waiter -since he did not speak any english he did not understand I would like to have CAPPUCCINO instead I got warmish probably it was coffee with milk....Bottom line dear travelers - The hotel does not deserve 4**** and it's not worth the money !

The hotel has recently undergone a complete refurbishment, the lobbies and lounges are bright and comfortable and the room I had was very comfortable and modern, with a large bathroom,comfortable bed and all new fixtures and fittings. Also as I was staying there during the Italian holiday period and everyone had gone to the coast I got a fantastic deal at 25% of the normal rate.

The bar was a bit too bright for me, all white surfaces and chrome fittings, but thats a matter of personal taste.

The outside of the hotel looks a bit dated, but don`t let it put you off as it bears no relation to inside....and I understand is soon to be renovated too.

Staff were friendly and helpful and all spoke English to varying degrees.
Plenty of parking and only a few minutes walk from the Town and the railway station if you want to visit elsewhere.

Thanks for the wonderful stay in your hotel. You have very helpful and accommodating staff. Enjoyed it a lot! Thanks again.

This hotel has apparently rated themselves as a 4 star property. Based on the hideous, worn, dirty lobby and restaurant spaces, dark, florescent lit hallways with shabby carpet and rooms with equally awful decor, which clearly haven't been updated since the 50's, 2 stars would be generous. it's only positive attribute were the very pleasant, non-English speaking, staff at the front desk.
Also, we were in Imola for the Porsche Driving School at the Ferrari race track, which the Hotel description said was withing walking distance. Turned out to be several miles away!
Avoid at all costs.
