Old but elegant hotel. Must have been high class in its prime. Very good breakfast selection, close to main plaza, church, shopping and restaurants. Very good restaurant next door. Only complaint is the bed was very hard. Needs a foam pad.

Run down but cheap

Cheap hotel but for a reason. Very run down hotel. Seemed it could be a nice place with few means. Beds are very hard. There was an air on in my room but not sure how I could turn it on. Seemed scruffy and dirty all around

CYNTHIA, 6-night trip

4/10 Fair

The property is old building with high portico. The furnishings are old but that is reminiscent of the past and can be charming. The single room was a good size with high ceilings and the sheets and towels all cotton, but the first impression is horrible. The entrance and all common areas have a dreadful, stained carpet that immediately give you a bad impression, maintenance is an issue. Loose floors, broken, missing knobs, unkempt furniture, moldy shower curtains. General impression, poor, unsafe and shabby.
Blanca, 3-night trip

The hotel is dated but charming. It's in an excellent location and we loved it.
ljiljana, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The facility service was impeccable. They seamlessly arranged transportation to a hidden gem restaurant in San Giovanni, Osteria del Mirasole, and facilitated my transfer to the airport. However, the cleanliness of the washroom could use some improvement. Overall, my stay was peaceful and comfortable.

Good location

Hotel is in great location for city centre and main sights. Rooms have air conditioning but lack a mini fridge.
M, 6-night trip

4/10 Fair

This is not anywhere near a 3 star hotel, more like a 1 star. The property needs a huge overchaul. The carpet in our was disgusting, with stains everywhere. The bathroom was at least clean but had an odd odour. I’m sure the cleaning staff do their best with what they have. There wasn’t a fridge or coffee pot to be found. The bed was ok with fresh linens but an old bed cover. No one uses them anymore because they are too hard to keep clean. The only redeemable feature was the location as it was right in the centre of town.
Patricia, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Staff was kind , we only stayed for one evening ,however the toilet ran the whole night and the tank leaked everywhere. The bed was horrible you could feel the springs in the mattress dig in to your body every time you moved. However it is located right in the heart of Bologna so exploring the city was nice and easy .

2/10 Poor

WOW!

I'll just say this.....I prepaid for 2 nights. I left after the first night. I didn't even think about asking for a refund.....this hotel needs all the cash it can grab. I'll ask my accountant if I can't claim my lost prepaid night as alms for the poor. Yes, THAT bad! I should have believed all the other reviews about the dirty carpet, loud cinema noise, unfriendly welcome.

4/10 Fair

Hotel palace charges way too much for a 4 star hotel. The rooms are very shabby with old carpeting. There is a 4D movie theatre next door and you will hear and feel the vibrations of the movie. The floors are wooden and the walls are paper thin and you will hear everything. The bathrooms are very tiny and old. There is no air conditioning. I got a fan but the fan made a lot of noise. There is also no mini fridge. However it is very conveniently located near Piazza Maggiore and is near all the major sights. The hotel is about an 15-20 min walk to the train station. Overall it is fine for a one night stay out of convenience but it’s not good value for your money. 
Florence, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff overall were friendly and helpful. The room was fine. Everything is a little outdated, but clean and basicaslly comfortable. The shower head fixture in the bathroom was broken so one has to hold the shower head the whole time. The location is excellent and in that sense good value for money. But a major problem is noise: the hotel is right above a cinema and even on the third floor, the sound and music blasted upwards into the rooms until about midnight. The walls and ceilings are also paper thin, meaning one can hear people talking in other rooms and walking overhead or in the corridor outside, until late at night and then again early in the morning. Not for light sleepers...
Timothy, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Bedroom not to book

L’hôtel est bien placé dans le centre historique. Des que vous entrez dans le hall vous vous rendez compte que l’hôtel est dans son jus original. Very old and tired. Very tired. The carpets are wrecked, the wall paintings need a new paint job. The worse was the family room with 3 beds. The room is set apart from the others, in the fire exit stairwell. The lock is with an old key and you need to lock the door or it can open by just pushing it . Inside the room there is no standard aircon. We had a standing aircon with its big air pipe’s exit on the window ledge. As a consequence you have to live in the room with the window opened! Day and night when you have 30 degC outside at night! The pipe made of thin plastic was cut in 2 places so you were receiving inside the room the strong hot air from the aircon together with the cold one ..impossible to sleep at all sweating like crazy. Then the bathroom door was perfectly joined on the door frame on the top half. Bottom half had a large space between the frame and the door. The carpet was so old looking dirty but was obviously vaccumed. This hotel will be a fantastic hotel they refurbish it. Until then don’t book any 3 beds room.

Et slitt hotel med god eggerøre og bacon!

Slitt og gammelt. Mye bråk fra kino i 1.etg. Betjening i resepsjonen som ikke hilste. Eggerøre og bacon var positivt. Renhold ol. Billig og gjennomsittelig.
