Great location. Central to the area and walking distance from the train. The people are a real delight and genuine with a very long connection to local history and culture. Simple clean and homely. A great spot to enjoy the local culture and amenities.

This hotel is in a central position into the town, especially suitable for those traveling without a car. In fact it's just opposite the railway station (linking Porretta to Bologna and, by a train change, to Florence, Lucca, etc.), less than 100 meters from it, just beyond the bridge over the river. The bus station (offering a good network of connections with the countries of the surrounding mountains) is just 50 meters away. However, the hotel also has private parking for those traveling by car.
As for the hotel itself, it seems particularly popular with people staying in Porretta for spa holidays. It is therefore largely attended by middle-aged people. average rather polite (not often elsewhere it happens to be greeted by all, when you come to the breakfast room). And the staff is courteous also.
The rooms are simple but efficient, in accordance with a three-star hotel; as is the breakfast.
Finally, the value for money is great, at least for central and northern Italy's: I paid 42 Euros for a night in a single room with breakfast.

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Roma for the first week in September. Don't be fooled by its 3 star rating - service was worthy of far more! Spotlessly clean, large airy room. Continental breakfast on offer (with great coffee!). The manager could not have been more helpful (I lost my phone in the first day) - ringing round lost property offices etc. - not expected, but very impressed. Great recommendations on local restaurants, and superb location - first rate!
