Nice, but don't depend on the bus!
Nice hotel but not close to the city. There is a bus stop just outside, and we waited for the bus there, but it just went right past us. Easy walk next door to a fabulous shopping center. Breakfast was worth it. We had trouble sometimes finding someone at the bar to get us drinks or ice. It was a restful stopover after several weeks on the road.

Hotel was fantastic and great amenities, however further out of main area in Bologna than expected. Expensive for taxis and difficult to get one back, but close to the airport

Although the hotel itself was good - they had no restaurant catering throughout the whole weekend apart from breakfast.
The hotel is situated a long way from town - buses didn't run Sundays so we had hotel lobby food microwaved- not good! We would not have booked this hotel had we known the catering arrangements. The bus into town and back stopped at 8pm so no dinners out without getting a taxi back which was about E20- very disappointing - Bus service was good during the day.

Worth the money
Clean hotel. Inexpensive. It had free parking, which we needed.
I live in the US and not familiar with the customs in Italy, but it seemed super strange that a country in which people drink so much coffee, the rooms didn’t have a coffee machine. It was inconvenient in the morning to dress up and start looking in the hallways for a coffee dispenser. We found one in the lobby.
Otherwise, the hotel was great.

Exterior does not match the interior. The hotel feels a bit run down and worn off. The rooms are great size and have most fascilities you need. However it doesn’t feel like a well maintained NH property which are usually of great quality. At check in the receptionist was also not very helpful. He literally handed us a key and didn’t even give directions or explanation of the facilities , very unlike the usual NH hospitality. The air in the rooms also felt very stuffy and hot and we all woke up with sore throats and dry mouths. Mattresses were soft and some even u stable. Overall the property can benefit from a refresher and maintenance. Staff were not all bad, we were only a bit let down by the receptionist who checked us in for the lack of his engagement and cooperation.

The check in process is far too long. It did not take us nearly as long to check in in hotels in Rome and Milan.

Hotel staff were very friendly. Breakfast was very well done.
A/C was broken for the two weeks I was there. Room was 30C during the days, staff were advised, though maintenance didn't fix.
