Platja de Gastone

Good value for money with nice facilities. The room was small but functional, cleanliness was generally good, and the staff were friendly. The gym and laundry facilities were satisfactory, and the pool was particularly welcome during the Bologna summer. It’s a bit of a walk to the city center, but the city bikes make getting around easy. There are also some decent cafés and a grocery store nearby, so most everyday needs can be covered locally. For a proper dinner, however, you’ll generally want to head closer to the center. The location was something I was aware of when booking, and I specifically chose the hotel for its pool, which made it well worth it in my case.
