Excellent hotel with very nice rooms, very helpful staff and one of the best complimentary breakfast I have ever had in travels. Excellent location to get to shops, restaurants and train station. This will be my hotel whenever I go to Bologna.

Good clean hotel with friendly staff. Nice room although very generic - doesn't reflect charm of Medieval Bologna. Gorgeous rooftop bar. Hairdryer didn't work and toilet ran sometimes.
Hotel staff was very attentive. There were a variety of dining options within the hotel including a cafe opened daily, delicious breakfast with all the breakfast staples plus delicious pastries. Room was very comfortable.
The hotel is excellent, the room was very comfortable and had a nice view; it has a very good location, the restaurant is very good. The hotel staff is superb.
Lovely hotel in an ideal location for us as we arrived by train. Lovely spacious room. We arrived before check in but were able to leave our bags and when we came back they had already been taken to our room which was very helpful!
Breakfast was an amazing buffet.
Staff were most helpful at check in and again on leaving, particularly Gary.
Spacious room, very comfortable bed and linen. 3 great restaurants, the degustation was nearly 4 hours of deliciousnes. Absolutely wonderful.
The building of a tramline section in front of the hotel is complete so no noise or dust. Easy access in a taxi.
