Piazza Ariostea Tours

The staff at the hotel were all very courteous and helpful. The bedroom was well-appointed and spotlessly clean. The location of the hotel is not great as there is absolutely nothing around it. It is well connected to Bologna via bus (about 25/30 mins from the centre) which as advertised does stop immediately outside the premises. We had hoped to have dinner on the Sunday evening as we had a very early flight on the Monday morning. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed on Sunday despite being advertised as open 7 days which was disappointing. There wasn’t much activity in the hotel and the bar area wasn’t staffed as such and was a bit soulless and uninspiring. The cost of the hotel was much the same as others which had more amenities around them.

Comfortable for a one night stay. Close to restaurants and shopping. Right across the street from the train station.

Good one night stay, parking was really useful for us and also right on a bus route into Bologna old town. Would not fancy walking it. Breakfast was decent, nice little outdoor area. Overall comfortable and good value.
