This hotel exceeded my expectations given previous Expedia ratings. The staff are not that friendly and the hotel corridors and reception are very dated but my room was spacious, incredibly clean and in a superb location. Highly recommend booking this as a cost-effective base in Bologna.

Cozy room with wood floor and classic wood decor and 1970 ish tech panels. Room in 1st floor was generally quiet and spacious. Room is clean daily by staff, but did notice a thin coat of dust on some old panels. Bathroom is spacious with a separate bidet and small shower stand. Bus stops, supermarkets, and some restaurants are within walking distances . Price is reasonable $60-$70/night.

We had a lovely room with a balcony. It was really more of a suite and suited our group of three singles traveling together. Our room was large, with plenty of space to spread out. The staff was great.

Susan

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Check in was not good. Phone was ringing in reception with no one there. Eventually receptionist came & disinterestedly checked us in giving no information about our stay. The room was very unpleasant, like something out of The Shining! One electrical socket in the entire place apart from the TV which had no remote! Bathroom was dingy with cigarette burns all along the shelf under the mirror. Came back to Bologna 4 days later for a couple of days & avoided that accommodation. No way would I recommend a nor ever stay there again.

The room smelt like cigarettes so they turned off the AC hoping that would solve the problem but then the room got so hot so we changed rooms at night. We woke up and the room was so hot so we complained and eventually had to change to another room!

Rooms and place is old, needs to upgrade. The construction in front of the hotel is very inconvenient. Good thing we had parking space at no charge.
