The breakfast was excellent. We enjoyed an evening meal in restaurant. Everywhere was clean including the public toilet. In the bedroom, the limited number of power points were rather hard to find. One was on the side of the bed, and the one for the kettle and coffee machine was hard to access.

Good parts: - Property is modern and has good amenities; - Rooms are simple and large; - Staff are helpful. Bad parts: - The plumbing waste water stacks have not been vented properly / to code, so the rooms literally stink like raw sewerage; - The location is not great, unless you are staying overnight for train / airport access. Personally, I wouldn't stay there again

Close to the train station and there is a bus stop across the street to get into the main part of Bologna. The room was big, clean and comfy. Breakfast was very good with good options. We didn't use any of the facilities since we were only there for the night and spent the day exploring. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again if we come back.

2nd stay and would come again

Service was impeccable as was the room: excellent value. Very close to the station which made it convenient for us. 30 min walk into central Bologna. Unfortunately the pool was out of action for the vast majority of our stay hence three stars for this aspect. Would certainly stay again.

Is a digital nomad hub wich tries to make everything automated but does not really succeeds. Overall I would have giving it a 3.5 stars but it had a bad smell in the room and a/c not really working. It was passable for 2 nights but we will not return.

Dirty rooms and poor housekeeping

Hotel facilities were good but the rooms and in particular the housekeeping were very poor. Stains on the walls, dust on the shelving. We stayed 5 nights, some time we had towels, some days we didn’t. No replacement coffee pods or water. Bathroom door hinge was broken. Also if you are booking two rooms with single beds and 1 adult and 1 child in each, do you really think it’s appropriate to leave a welcome condom on each bedside table?

Met the needs of our break perfect will consider staying again. Really catered for all demographics. Super close to Bologna train station spotted as we travelled in on Marconi Express. Ignore the negativity on latter because @ 7 mins you’re getting a 1-level rollercoaster ride, fabulous views & less than 5 min walk to The Social Hub!
