Disliked: Amenities
The rooms are very small and outdated. Air conditioning didn’t work and the room was very hot. Hotel facilities are minimal. The price per night that I paid at this busy time of year was over US$800 per room per night for a single bed room so the value for money was very poor. Great location which is why I chose to stay there but I feel the hotel is profiteering off the busy period in Bologna

The hotel it’s in the best location possible to explore Bologna. It’s extremely clean and the staff is very friendly. The facilities are old fashion but the hotel it’s in great shape and really clean. We’d stay there again without hesitation!

Excellent position in the city. Bars, cafes etc all very close. Clean rooms, efficient and helpful staff. Not the best value for money at over £200 a night, the room was small and the shower cramped.

No online-booking friendly, a lot of night noise
I travel for work. I sent a message to ask to stay extra night and I got an answer. I also ask to have the same room for the night following. I have a couple. they answer ok. When I got there there were no double. I have to find different Hotel for me and have all the guest in singles. Also crazy confusion in the night we had to move in other Hotel since they were too many Parties going on in the area around. Parking was the only convenient feature.

Just great
This was a wonderfully placed hotel right in the centre and moments walk from everything. My room was cozy and clean and I even had a balcony with a nice view out over Bologna. Staff are very friendly and helpful, service was great. As a female travelling alone, I felt very safe and would reccomend for a stay, as great value.

The hotel is in an amazing location, our room was a bit small, no view, and nothing special. The view from the rooftop is spectacular!

The hotel was hard to find. Our GPS showed a road that now is closed. We needed to call the hotel and were wonderfully directed through the back streets to the hotel. There was one very tight turn that only small cars could have made.

The hotel is near the centre of Bolonga and near many of the tourist sites. The shower in the bathroom needed an up date as water flow wasn't good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good with quite a lot of choice. A well situated hotel for Bolonga centre.

I'd Only Recommend In a Pinch
Surprisingly small room and bed. Slight odor. Clean for sure, but a lot of busted furniture and decor gives an overall impression of unkempt-ness. That said, I booked a room very last-minute in a great neighborhood at a reasonable price (perhaps I got the worst room in the hotel; sure felt like it). I wouldn't stay there again.

Short stay in Bologna using it as base for trips to Ferrara, Ravenna and Modena. Great location in the centre of old town and close to fantastic restaurants. Hotel is bit tired but the place is charming and the service is great.

Conveniently located within easy walking distance to many attractions of the city centre; friendly, welcoming, helpful and efficient staff; staff are English language competent; very nice roof terrace breakfast area; rooms clean, comfortable and with working utilities and air-conditioning; good Wi-Fi connection; liked no carpets on bedroom floor (tiling). My only minor grumble was breakfast self-service coffee rather cold each morning, but staff made up for this by delivering a freshly made cup on request.

Old, dirty and too hot
An old property in dire need of refurbishment. The (very very small) shower was covered in black mould on the inside of the door, the air conditioning did nothing (32c inside the room at night so we got no sleep) and all furniture was incredibly dated. One lift out of service meaning there was a long queue to get downstairs for checkout. If we were staying more than one night, we would have found an alternative. Location is convenient but I’d recommend staying elsewhere.
