加斯通海滩

Modern hotel on the outskirts of Bologna. You would need a car but this hotel has safe, free parking and is just a few minutes' from the airport. (There are no obvious petrol stations at the airport so fill up the night before if you have booked full to full.) It was a modern, clean room with a 'minibar' type fridge and range of toiletries. They changed the sheets each day. I did book in advance but it cost about £70 for 2 nights B&B for 2 in a double room. Breakfast was very good, help yourself and a full choice of cereals, sweet cakes, croissants, fruit, a hot choice (boiled eggs and frankfurter type sausage) and a drinks machine offering all the types of coffee and hot chocolate. Took about 10 - 15 minutes to get into the centre of Bologna. Parking in the centre is difficult and quite expensive so it was good to have free overnight parking at the hotel. Pleasant staff and service. Great value basic hotel to stay at before going to the airport. No dining facilities in the evening.
