Would definitely return and can’t wait to try this hotel in another city! Live music and dancing in the pool area one night. Very ‘social’ place Close to train station and very reasonable price. We could easily walk to the city center and we are both in our mid 60’s. Read their story provided in a book in the room and you will be impressed. Thanks for a great visit to Bologna."
