Top hotels in San Donato
UNA Hotels Bologna Fiera
So a typical large business hotel, impersonal and a bit lacking. Bath Room was “superficially” clean, not actually cleaned after the first night for some reason. Bed was a bit too firm, and the room a bit on the small side. Shower pressure was excellent..
