Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a great location, right in the heart of the city with easy access to attractions. The rooms were clean and very spacious, but the furniture was a bit outdated. The service was friendly and helpful. The dining experience offered good variety but could get crowded. The location is excellent for exploring the city at a good value for the price.
The hotel offers a standard experience with clean rooms but lacks the wow factor for the quoted price of €240. The location is central and convenient with some rooms having limited views due to structural design.
The hotel has big, clean, and comfy rooms. However, the noise from the creaky floorboards was terrible. The location is outstanding, right in the heart of the city and close to major attractions. Dining options were fine, with standard offerings but flavorful coffee. Overall, the hotel needs investment to enhance its appearance. The price may not fully reflect the value provided.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and the king-size bed was comfortable, but they didn't quite match the pictures for the room type I chose. As a single woman traveler, this was a bit concerning. The parking was available but not as expected.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location was superb, allowing me to easily explore the historic center on foot and access quality shops and restaurants. The room, however, faced a noisy street with a bar, and the bed was not the most comfortable. Even though the shower was small, it suited my needs despite feeling like it was designed for a much smaller person.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was perfect, right in the very centre of Bologna just a few minutes walk from Piazza Maggiore, and the service from the staff was kind and helpful. However, the rooms were noisy and waking us up during the night, and the dining options were limited. It was convenient to spend the night before catching a flight in the morning.
The hotel room was better than the one allocated on the 2nd stay, which was older with dated bathroom facilities. The location is excellent for exploring Bologna, with easy access to good quality shops and restaurants.
The hotel is excellently located in the heart of beautiful Bologna, offering a wonderful stay right in the center. The rooms are a bit dated with no real windows, but the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The dining experience is basic but satisfactory, and the central location is a major highlight.
The hotel is centrally located in beautiful Bologna, just minutes away from the city center, making it convenient for business travelers. The rooms, though cozy, felt a bit cramped for us and could use some improvements like more comfortable mattresses. The friendly staff did their best to make our stay pleasant, but investments in upgrading the hotel's facilities are needed. The dining experience was decent with a standard buffet, yet some items were lacking taste. Overall, a decent option for a quick stop in a food and drink haven.
The hotel had traditional rooms with high ceilings and a nice view, though they could benefit from an upgrade and better soundproofing. The service was accommodating and pleasant, making communication easy in English. The location was very good, within walking distance of main sites and surrounded by good restaurants and local shops. The dining experience, however, had some issues with poor food quality, but basic offerings. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement in some areas.
The hotel offers a great value for the price paid, despite some room refurbishment needed. The service from the staff could use more attention, although some have good ideas for improvement. The location is perfect with a charming old-world character and easy access to main attractions. The dining experience, while offering homemade products, lacks variety. Overall, it provides a convenient stay with room for enhancements.
My stay at the hotel was mixed. The location was fantastic, making it easy to reach all the interesting spots; however, the rooms were more like a cubby/attic with limited views. The service was mostly good, but there were some dismissive and rude interactions. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some tasty options but also some disappointments. Overall, the value for money was questionable, especially considering some maintenance issues and service lapses.
