Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and clean, perfect for a long weekend in Bologna, but the thin walls meant privacy and quiet at night were not guaranteed. The service was professional and friendly overall, accommodating my needs well. The location was excellent for exploring Bologna, although it was a bit loud and busy in the evenings. The dining options had room for improvement, especially for those looking for more savory choices.
The hotel is conveniently located near the city center, making it easy to explore the sights and enjoy local restaurants. The rooms are spacious but in need of an update, and the service is exceptional with helpful and friendly staff. However, the dry and unpleasant air in the rooms due to AC heating could be improved. The dining options offer a variety of pastries and good coffee, but there is room for enhancement. Overall, the hotel provides a decent value for money stay with great access to nearby attractions.
The hotel is situated on an alley bustling with restaurants and bars, offering a vibrant atmosphere, although this may result in some noise if the window is kept open. The service was consistently helpful and pleasant during my stay, particularly at breakfast. The location is perfect for exploring the city on foot, placing you in the heart of Bologna. The dining experience was decent but could benefit from more variety, especially some traditional Italian cheese and ham. Overall, a great choice for being close to the city center and key sights, albeit a bit loud due to the lively surroundings.
The hotel location is very central, perfect for city-travelers, with several restaurants and coffee shops around. The rooms are small and not very spacious, but the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The dining options are varied, although some may find the pastries too sweet. The private parking nearby is convenient due to the limited traffic zone.
