The location is the star of the hotel. Literally across the street from the bologna central train station with restaurants, shopping and a grocery store nearby. We used it as our "hub" as we went on day trips around Italy. Breakfast was great with lots of food options. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!
