Very basic accommodation

Stayed 3 nights for Imola grand prix - very tired hotel - old decor in very small bedroom- the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on - soft soggy mattress - ineffective aircon and the shower was just hopeless. Nothing like photographs on website. On the plus side the staff were very pleasant and the breakfast was good. The hotel just needs an urgent upgrade.

Don’t expect a twin room but a very good breakfast

I booked this hotel months ago based on photos from the site and assumptions that there was a real possibility of a twin room vs a double bed. I realize Hotels.com says there’s no guarantee that you’ll get your request honored, but the hotel contacted me 2 days before check-in and hours before we were due to travel by train, leaving us little time to make other arrangements. We decided to keep the reservation, and shouldn’t have been surprised that we were given a very small room with a double bed in a hotel that is just ok. In fairness, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was exceptional.

It was close to loads of shops, however the room was in a bad condition and the bathroom tiny. Struggled to get through the shower doors and I am small. Room was next to the lift and the walls are very thin, so that is very loud everytime the doors open or the lift moves. Not good value for money.

Great location

Best thing about this place is the location. You are just off a foodie street. I’d go back just for that.
