Older style hotel, very close to walking around the city. We had a room with our bathroom in the corridor outside our room, while not ideal it was ok.

Central location made for pleasant tourist stay

We didn't know Bologna until we arrived and found the hotel easily and the staff very helpful considering we spoke only English and enjoyed a good nights rest.

Lovely central hotel. Beyond expectation

Great 2 star hotel over looking the rooftops of Bologna. Fabulous breakfast. Comfy room despite it being very old. Doors can open into the Main Street but when closed it is very quite. We loved it.

Convenience plus

Easy access to train station 4 stops to hotel on bus 25. Next to main piazza, restaurants and shops. Hotel on third & fourth floor with lift. Breakfast has huge selection of fresh fruits, juices, yogurts, pastries etc. Staff all very pleasant and helpful. Very quiet on weekends as street is closed to vehicles. Would happily stay there again. Fourth floor has nice view over towns rooftops.

ロケーションが抜群の清潔なホテル

ホテルはマッジョーレ広場から徒歩1分程の場所にあり、観光名所は全てホテルから近いので気軽に上着を取りに戻ったりできて便利でした。周辺に飲食店も多いのです。ボローニャ駅から歩けますが、バスを利用したらバス停で降りたすぐの場所がホテルだったので駅からも近く感じました。部屋は古さを感じたものの、清潔に保たれていました。冷蔵庫もありました。スタッフの方もとても親切でした。共有スペースに水槽があり、クラゲなどがいたのでほっこりしました。またボローニャにいく際はこのホテルに泊まりたいです。

Excellent place to stay and great location

This was by far our biggest (pleasant) surprise of our trip. At first we missed the hotel due to the scaffolding surrounding the building, but once inside, it was more than what we expected. Very helpful and friendly service. Big room and very clean. Excellent location (300 meters from Piazza Maggiore). Very complete breakfast.

Disappointed

it was terrible. The room was dated the bed was extremely uncomfortable and as hard as a rock. The floor wasn’t that clean. The bathroom wasn’t in the room it was across the hall. And hotels.com completely misrepresented this hotel. The whole building was under construction they were scaffolding all around the building it was very dusty. There were hidden charges that I was not told about. The front desk staff was not friendly at all. However breakfast was amazing it was a great breakfast at the people who ran the breakfast were very nice and accommodating. Add the location was actually excellent. But I will never stay that whole tell again. It’s a shame because it could be so much nicer than what it was. I am very disappointed in hotels.com as well because I called hotels.com to complain about the situation with the room at hotels.com did absolutely nothing which I will probably not use them again. After many years of using hotels.com I have never been so disappointed.
