Mercure Bologna Centro - Bologna, Italy 

I spent 45 E/night for the hotel, as I booked and pay in advance (via their web site). For this price, it was very convenient, and the overall quality is acceptable. Furniture is a bit old, the air conditioning is both noisy (it costantly wakes me up early in the morning) and relatively cooling (I guess it's blocked to save electricity costs), so if I had to pay the full price of 120 E/night I would have been very disappointed.

Hotels in Italy are not cheap and may have poor quality. At this hotel I got a good size double room /single use for 80 euros/night with buffet breakfast. It has a very nice private garden on the back that you see from the windows of the bedrooms facing that way. Very clean, tidy and pleasently decorated. Everything you need for a bussiness stay they have it. Bathroom with hairdrayer and ironing machine for pants in the bedroom. Very nice smelling shamp? and body wash available. Internet is available hy-speed in the room with laptop or with the TV. Also available at the hotel lobby. Centraly located, just in front in the main railway station and the stop of the aerobus to and from the airoport. (it usually leaves every quarter of the hour at bussiness hours. Within fair walking distance of the historical center of the city. This will be my hotel of referece when I go back there. Most of the times they have special rates on the internet, that I got this time. The usual price rate is 150 euros /night.
