Great hotel that is well connected to Bologna Fiere but very difficult to move to city center. If Bologna Fiere entrance north is open, you can walk about 15 mins to get there. If not, you should take a cab which doesn't make any sense.

Very clean and comfortable room. Front desk staff were friendly and fast at check in and check out. Had an excellent dinner in the restaurant. Be aware that the hotel is a 15 minute walk from the nearest bus stop, and with the current construction on the roads in between, this walk is over uneven terrain that will be challenging with heavy bags. So, highly recommended but caveat emptor if you're not arriving by car.
