Clean room, nice friendly staff. Great choice for breakfast. The only drawback is the tram works which means you couldn't really see the lovely buildings in the street

Listing says aircon, but regardless of weather, this hotel turns off the aircon unit in the room one a specific date and that is it! Was told...it is Autumn, just open window and only Americans complain. No fan no way to move to a quieter room where the motorcycles aren't stopping under the window and then loudly taking off. The solo room was a shoebox, no problem except it was hot! The small fridge giving off enough heat to make the wall around it warm and you can feel the hot air coming up onto the desk! If they know some guests have a problem with this...why not a few $20 fans...to save a Luke warm or bad review. I was standing at reception with sweat running down. The so have triple windows so most noise was gone when shut but it was hot. Won't be booking here when I am back in November... can't imagine the heat in that room with radiators going.

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.

hotel senza pretese a ca 400 metri da piazza maggiore a Bologna. Struttura datata con camere piccole. Colazione minimalista, non ne vale il prezzo. Staff molto cortese e disponibile. In complesso "you got what you paid for"

We stayed here prior to and after returning from our cruise in Ravenna. The staff was very accommodating, allowing us to check in early and calling a taxi to the airport for us. The breakfast had many options, and the AIR CONDITIONING was amazing.

Overall it was a good hotel. The staff were phenomenal! The only item that was a disappointment, was the fact upon our departure early, 0645, in the morning, prior to our train, the breakfast area was set-up, when we tried to grab a coffee/juice we were notified that it was closed and not available; although it was all out and ready. We were informed it would not be available to us until 0730. My point being, if it is there, we are paid customers, we should be able to grab a coffee and juice at minimum. Again, paid customers.

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

Keeping cover in Bologna.

Great little hotel not far from train station and easily walkable to main historical area. Some nice little restaurants nearby as well. Staff were friendly and helpful as they could! Good for mid budget. The portico’s also saved me from the rain!
