Amadeus - Bologna, Italy     

The rooms are badly insulated, and have furniture and carpets from the 70's. The bathroom is modern and clean though. Breakfast is rather ok, although not what you'd expect from a 4-star hotel. It's actually very suprising they ever got 4 stars. If you're in a hurry and want a hotel close to the airport you might consider Amadeus, otherwise : try and avoid it !

I stayed for 7 days at the Amadeus. It is a very nice place, a little out of the city, but there is an excellent bus service which takes about 20 minutes to the centre of Bologna. The room was large and quite comfortable, breakfast gives you a very large choice and the bar is quite good. There is no restaurant in the hotel so you have to eat out, but there are several good places nearby, including one that is next to the hotel but has a seperate management. If you have any business with the Ducati motorcycle firm it is just round the corner. By the way, get on the web and check out the number 54 bus; runs to the airport about once an hour for 1euro (taxi about 12 euro). Bus company is ATC Bologna. Above all the reason why I shall be going back is the staff, very friendly and helpful. I recommend this place.
