Chiusa Ferranda Vacations from $888

I have no complaints about anything other than the beds were hard as a rock. We had one of the little cabins with 2 twin beds and both were quite uncomfortable. Other than that for the price we paid everything was fine. The food was good and the room was clean. There was even an electric teapot and tea in the room. We had a nice little porch to hang out on after our long day in the city of Bologna. The buses were easy to figure out and the staff was quite helpful.

All-round great. Good location close but not too close to Palazzo Maggiore. Very quiet. The property is well cared for. Good signage, clear instructions to check in. Friendly, helpful, kind. Every bit of 5 stars from us.

We stayed at Hotel del Borgo for one night before an early flight out of Bologna, and unfortunately, it was easily the worst accommodation of our entire trip through Italy. First, the room we received was not what we booked. We reserved a room with one double or queen bed but were given a room with a queen and an additional twin bed. The room looked nothing like the photos online and was incredibly dated and disappointing. The biggest concern was the bathroom, which had what appeared to be mold covering the ceiling and other surfaces. It was disgusting and made us question the overall cleanliness and maintenance of the hotel. There were also no small bottles of shampoo or shower toiletries provided, and the hand towels were so thin they felt more like disposable table napkins. The room was unbearably warm. The hotel uses central heating set to 23°C (73°F), and the thermostat doesn’t actually allow you to control the temperature. We were told to keep the bathroom door closed because the heated floors made the room even hotter. Our choices were essentially to roast in the room or open the windows and deal with mosquitoes. The refrigerator made a constant, repetitive pulsing noise, which was especially irritating when trying to sleep. The Wi-Fi only worked in the lobby, not in our room. There was no coffee provided, just a kettle and two packets of tea. Despite online listings advertising a bar/lounge, the front desk confirmed

The room was clean and comfortable. Staff was nice. Had a restaurant and coffee bar.
