I booked this hotel for a one-night stay in Bologna. I had visited the town two times before, and without a doubt this hotel has been the best stay I've had. From the moment I arrived, I was taken good care of. Easy check-in, and the nice gentleman at reception was very service-minded, and even walked me to my room. During the stay, the staff delivered outstanding service. After I returned to the hotel after dinner, my room was ready for the night - a small gentle scented candle was lit, and my clothes had been folded nicely on the bed, and a weather forecast was on the table next to the bed. When I checked out the hotel staff was kind enough to help me print my boarding ticket for my plane home that evening.
The hotel itself was beautiful. An old building restored very tasteful. The room itself was large, and had a nice view as well as a big bathroom. 5 minute walk to the train station, and 10-15 minutes to the two towers in the city center. During this walk you are walking next to lots of shops.
If I have to mention something negative, it would only be a suggestion to the hotel, to show better photos on this site. The mail photo really doesn't do the hotel enough justice.
My short stay at Iportici was one of my favorite hotel experiences ever, and I will without a doubt chose this hotel next time I visit Bologna. Wish I could have stayed a few extra nights :-)
