里乔内会议中心

Big, spacious rooms with a youthful vibe. There is a living room and a bedroom. Very thematic with “up” branding everywhere. New decor, proximity to an amazing seafood restaurant and the beach. Easy parking access for 12 euros. The breakfast was decent, but not buffet style so it takes a while to be served. The town itself was a bit dead when we came in March. The location accessibility by car was so-so, narrow roads and pretty cramped.

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.

The room was very clean, fully equipped, and in a good position to reach the city center by walking. We got two main issues: 1: Communication poor and inefficace. We got a not-working link to complete the check-in. We tried different ways to get in contact with the structure: mail, Whatsapp, telephone. After a long chasing and trials, we got the codes to access the apartment. 2: air conditioning not working in the apartment. We couldn't sleep the full night, as it was 30 degrees and high umidity outside. Nobody to reach out to fix the issue (until the day after). Both problems managed way below the acceptability threshold.
