Great location in the city of Bologna - 5 minute walk from the central railway station, 20 minute walk to the Piazza Maggiore in the centre. Rooms are clean and reasonably comfortable - the furniture/ decor is a little dated, but of good quality. Lovely bathroom, great shower. We were on the third-floor at the front of the hotel - very quiet street outside. Did not eat breakfast at the hotel - there are two cafes literally across the road, which served good quality Italian food, at reasonable cost (cheaper than the hotel daily charge). You can "cast" from your 'phone/ tablet to the TV, so can watch streaming services if you wish; bottled water in the fridge each day as well. Would stay here again if in the city.

“Lovely hotel in a quiet area near the station”

Very happy with our short stay - the reception staff was very nice and helpful, the room was clean, spacious enough and very quiet (overlooking the back of the hotel).

Very happy with our short stay - the reception staff was very nice and helpful, the room was clean, spacious enough and very quiet (overlooking the back of the hotel). Bathroom was OK too, the only inconvenience was the narrow entrance of the shower cabin. We didn't have breakfast at the hotel, but visited the café opposite the entrance for a cappuccino and croissant. Like the location too - quiet residential area, a short walk from the rain station, the main shopping street and the city center. Definitely will stay there again when visiting Bologna.

“Accommodating and friendly staff, clean and close to the main train station”

The staff were the best feature of the hotel: very friendly and accommodating. Some previous reviewers claimed the hotel is dated, however, it is just the style of the hotel, which some might like, others won't. You can tell that furnishings were recently replaced/renovated.

The staff were the best feature of the hotel: very friendly and accommodating. Some previous reviewers claimed the hotel is dated, however, it is just the style of the hotel, which some might like, others won't. You can tell that furnishings were recently replaced/renovated. The place was also very clean. Breakfast - which you can opt for at 12eur/person was diverse and tasty: eggs, bacon, ham and cheese cuts, cakes, fruit, fresh salad, cakes, bread, cereal, etc It is also very close to the main train station (5 minutes walk), from where you can take the Marconi express to the airport for a EUR20 return ticket (7 minutes each way). We were situated in a room that is accessed to, in part by an elevator, and in part up and down some steps (in what seemed to be a courtyard). On the positive side, it seemed that it was the quieter wing of the hotel, but on the other hand, it was a bit tricky with a suitcase/pushchair... especially when we had to return to the reception as our keycard wasn't working. Some might also find it inconvenient that the hotel does not have an inhouse restaurant, however, the receptionist recommended a quiet, and homely restaurant just around the corner.
