Hotel staff were so friendly and welcoming. Marcelo helped us so much in finding a wonderful dentist when we had an emergency. A train strike occurred on our departure day and he arranged for a driver to take us to our destination. We would highly recommend this hotel!

Very basic accommodation

Stayed 3 nights for Imola grand prix - very tired hotel - old decor in very small bedroom- the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on - soft soggy mattress - ineffective aircon and the shower was just hopeless. Nothing like photographs on website. On the plus side the staff were very pleasant and the breakfast was good. The hotel just needs an urgent upgrade.

Don’t expect a twin room but a very good breakfast

I booked this hotel months ago based on photos from the site and assumptions that there was a real possibility of a twin room vs a double bed. I realize Hotels.com says there’s no guarantee that you’ll get your request honored, but the hotel contacted me 2 days before check-in and hours before we were due to travel by train, leaving us little time to make other arrangements. We decided to keep the reservation, and shouldn’t have been surprised that we were given a very small room with a double bed in a hotel that is just ok. In fairness, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was exceptional.

It was close to loads of shops, however the room was in a bad condition and the bathroom tiny. Struggled to get through the shower doors and I am small. Room was next to the lift and the walls are very thin, so that is very loud everytime the doors open or the lift moves. Not good value for money.

Basic hotel

Basic hotel and overpriced. Excellent location close to the train station and tourist spots. Probably a hundred great places to eat and drink within a mile's radius. Breakfast is decent and they kindly made us a breakfast bag on the day we left early for a tour. Lots of noise from the streets - we could hear travellers dragging their luggage late night and early morning.
