10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful hotel right opposite the station. Our flight was late evening and took the Marconi Express train took 20mins no hassle very easy to book. Our room was lovely ,, comfy bed, large bathroom with shower with shampoo & body lotion, you need to bring your own conditioner. Tea, coffee with kettle, and chargeable minibar. Very helpful staff and polite reception who are happy to help with any query you may have. Breakfast was amazing and everything thing is walkable. Loads of restaurants to choose from, local shop right next to the station, and in town. We took day trip train to Florence, Venice, Ferrera, Rimini if you want to head off to a beach resort, Modena home of Ferarri, other options available to visit too. We this hotel really needs is swimming pool, sauna where you can relax after a busy day. Very happy overall and would definitely stay here again."
