Hotel Bologna

Location: A street away from main drag - Corso Italia. Convenient to restaurants and great bars. 15 min walk to station. Courteous and helpful reception staff. OK WiFi. Reasonable breakfast.

(A tale of 2 rooms, 5 nights) On arrival I was given #210, a really horrible, tiny, squishy, single room with bonus neighbors' plumbing noise, banging door noise and echoing passage. Couldn't handle this for 5 nights. Luckily for the remaining time I got a double room, 3rd floor (for extra charge naturally) which was a relief - with space, a desk and a decent bathroom, Though the bed still was slab-hard and the ambient noises the same.

Central location, the staff gave good information and recommended restaurants - the one we went to has to be one of the best and only just around the corner.

The bed squeaked every time I moved so was disturbing. The shower was temperamental. The room we were in faced the street and the traffic started quite early. The breakfast was just ok accept for the pastries which were really fresh and lovely.

Good location. Good value for the money.

Don't bother with the breakfast if it is not included in your reservation. It is not worth the price.
