Highlights

Location: near University of Bologna and S. Orsola - Malpighi Hospital

Parking: designated blue-striped spaces

Dining: breakfast buffet served daily from 7:30 to 10:00

Business Accessibility: proximity to the fair district

“While its location just outside the city walls might appeal with a promise of tranquility, I've read reports that suggest otherwise. Though well-situated for access to the fair district and the S. Orsola hospital, potential guests should be aware of concerns about noise and dated facilities. For those prioritizing budget and proximity to key locations, it could be a reasonable option, but manage your expectations accordingly.”
