4/10 Fair

O Hotel é bem confortável, mas o atendimento é péssimo. Tive um problema com a fechadura do meu quarto. Durante mais de 20 minutos o próprio funcionário do hotel não conseguiu abri-la. Depois de dezenas de tentativas, consegui entrar no quarto, mas não podia sair, sob risco de não conseguir entrar. Tive que reclamar diversas vezes para que o problema tivesse uma solução. A má vontade do recepcionista, o homem que integrava a equipe, era evidente. Depois de duas horas e meia, e várias reclamações, o meu quarto foi trocado. A comunicar, o tal funcionário parecia que estava me fazendo um favor. Não houve nenhuma explicação ou pedido de desculpas pelo staff. Foi, sem dúvida, o pior hotel em que já estive. Para piorar, os elevadores apresentavam falhas, aparavam nos andares mas os luminosos faziam indicações erradas. Não ajudou haver uma equipe de adolescentes hospedados que brincavam de apertar todos os andares sob a vista complacente do staff.

We were dissapointed that the pool was closed as out of season & the restaurant was closed on the friday and Saturday evenings during our stay , this was not mentioned anywhere when booking. Nor informed after the fact. We stayed at this hotel last year and were impressed with everything, especially the restaurant so this was our main reason of choosing this venue for our stay again. This time we stayed, the room we were allocated faced the carpark so it was louder at night due to other events going on at the hotel. The AC in the room was also not as good as our last stay as it hadnt been updated. Overall staff were great. Dinner (when available) was superb. Sleep was disturbed on friday and saturday evenings though due to other guests being noisy when leaving in the car park.

Séjour familial

Quelque peu déçu du Sidney hôtel à Bologne qui affiche 4 étoiles. La literie pour les canapés lits était moyenne, les coussins (un seul par personne) sont peu confortables. Dommage car la chambre était propre et fonctionnelle. Éviter le restaurant opéra de l'hôtel où le service pour chaque couvert est de 4 euros par personne. Soit le double des tarifs pratiqués par les restaurants en ITALIE.

It was a big surprise, in a positive way. The room, the sunny outdoor pool with umbrellas and the bar with outdoor sitting is excellent. The pool closes at 19:30, and the restaurant opens at 19:30. We had a very tasty dinner at the restaurant, I recommend it. It was our last stop in Italy before flying off from Bologna airport. I definitely recommend this hotel, it was much better than expected. It is in a location where you need a car and parking is free, public transportation is difficult.

Great hotel that is well connected to Bologna Fiere but very difficult to move to city center. If Bologna Fiere entrance north is open, you can walk about 15 mins to get there. If not, you should take a cab which doesn't make any sense.
