"The Art Hotel was very nice, and lived up to its name, with beautiful pieces of art attractively displayed throughout. I would give in 4.5, and not a 5, only because the brewed coffee in the dining room was terrible, and things that should have been hot, were not. That included the scrambled eggs, bacon, side vegetables, and aforementioned coffee and hot water. It was like the food warmers and hot pots were not ever turned on. We were there 4 nights, and it was the same each morning. Other than that, food was excellent, and location couldn't be beat."

"Great room, great breakfast, huge pool that was really well maintained (but the hotel should consider having a separate section for kids). Friendly and helpful staff. On the 15th of August the hotel offered by the pool free sangria, ice cream and water melon (all top quality). There was a huge mall 5 mins walking distance, which was fantastic. Easy access to city centre by the 89 bus. A great experience"

8/10 Good
"It is really clean and lovely hotel with helpful staff. However, the reason we stayed there was for a shuttle to the airport but when we checked in we were told that the shuttles were full. I appreciate this but in the morning we saw one shuttle coming but another was just parked. If it is a touristy time, it may be worth rethinking another driver during busier periods. Also, the food was inconsistent. The lasagna had in the bar hadn't been defrosted enough or microwaved long enough. The food in the restaurant was a mix. Prices were such that the food should be consistently good. Just a suggestion but you have the Ducati museum right next to you. It may be worth working a deal with them and shuttle transportation there as I think it is a big attraction. Overall, the hotel is nice and clean with friendly staff."
