4/10 Fair

Small, old, noisy and expensive.

Extremely expensive (due to fair) and rooms were small and old. Very noisy from the staircase and people flushing the toilets. Breakfast very poor.

Hatice, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Brilliant hotel with 24 hour helpdesk which helped as our flight was delayed and we got to the hotel at midnight. The furniture is a bit dated in the room but it was spotlessly clean everyday. A very convenient location 19 min to Bologna Central train and 10 min to the main square and almost all the main attractions . The staff were friendly and checkout is at 11:30 min much is generous. We could also leave our bags at reception in the cupboard after checkout as our flight was in the evening. Overall a brilliant hotel for the price

Great location, wonderful front desk staff. Room was fine. Elevator?!?! Smallest elevator I’ve ever seen.

Liked - Breakfast buffet - very good. Location - excellent. 24hr/day front desk. Dislike - luke warm hot water, non functional bidet.
Bryan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I chose this hotel for it's proximity to the train station (and the airport via Marconi Express), as well as the bus line I used to commute. Besides that I also really liked the closeness to the historic center. There was no hot water for the first two days.
Bogdan, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good Stay

Our stay was good, the hotel, staff etc were nice. One complaint we had was that on the website it states parking is available but the hotel does not offer free parking and this was one of the reasons I booked this hotel. The parking garage is close to the hotel and charges €25 a day.

Mirco, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The desk clerk was cheerful and welcoming. There were enough electrical outlets to charge my iPhone at night and the WiFi was fine. The single bed mattress was very soft at the edge where the guest first sits to roll into bed. The breakfast buffet was good. The location is a short walking distance to the central train station. The location is walking distance to the central historic center and buses for the central historic center are on the same block. The room decoration seemed mismatched over time, particularly the bathroom sink's vanity which was bizarre, trying unsuccessfully to be chic. There was storage for my luggage at early arrival and at departure.

4/10 Fair

Not a comfortable stay unfortunately

On a busy weekend, having booked 7 weeks in advance, we were allocated a very small double room with a cramped bathroom for a three night stay. The wallpaper was peeling from the wall, the AC could only be set to heat (apparently changeover to cooling is a date mandated by the municipality and had been delayed due to a cool weather spell, or that was the explanation given by staff). The room was stifling but at least the windows opened for some relief. By far the worst feature was the tiny, platformed retro fitted bathroom, akin to that in a train sleeper cabin. There was hardly room to step in or out of the shower or sit comfortably on the toilet. The bidet folded back under the wash basin. The tiles were damaged and some grout mould was present. While the hotel is in a heritage building, its hard to excuse these shortcomings. Pluses were a mini fridge in the room, good daily room service, approachable staff with good English, good variety of breakfast options at a reasonable price and the excellent location. Would not stay again.
