Great location!

We had a great stay at this hotel. The staff were so friendly and very helpful especially Andrea Arru. We did arrive when the hotel was under renovations which really did not affect our rooms and they were speedy quick doing the renovations elsewhere. The restaurant was not open while we were there, which would of been nice. The location of the hotel was perfect for walking. Definitely recommend

Hotel is old and need renovations in some area. Staircase has funny noise when walking on it. Did not expect hotel to be that worn down. I had booked 2 rooms, the more expensive room I booked is not much better than the cheaper one, only extra snacks on the table. Despite all these unfavorable conditions. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Nothing to complain about

I do not agree with the complains of other guests. My superior room 514 was spacious, clean and had a stunning view over the Old Town. I had an electric kettle to make tea and coffee. Nothing was broken. The room was really quiet. The staff will surpass your expectations. The hotel is expensive but very well located so I was happy with my choice.

Good accommodation

Simple, basic accommodation, which suited our needs perfectly. An easy 10-minute walk to the center of the town. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Note, if you’re travelling like we were and looking to use the laundry service listed on the website; the hotel doesn’t have one.

Good for the night on a budget

The hotel is in a great location of Bologna. Hotel staff is very nice and available 24/7. Shower heat and water pressure was good. Bed and pillows a bit hard but manageable. Unfortunately, there was a lot of noise from the room above and from the neighborhood in the early hours of the morning 4-5am. If you are a very light sleeper you may need to avoid. Otherwise, this is an economical convenient choice if you’re on a budget.

Comfortable beds- room is basic- when sightseeing you don’t spend much time in your room. Front desk was extremely helpful and courteous. Spoke English, gave recommendations for dining and grocery shopping. Provide maps and areas of interest. Would recommend for those who don’t expect special amenities. Perfect for the traveler. Gabriele was the front desk clerk during our stay and he was fantastic!

Quaint boutique hotel. Rooms are on the small side, but more than worth the value. Staff is friendly. Hotel and rooms are nice and in good condition, albeit a little hot (AC was a bit weak). Minimal amenities, but location is very close to the train station and walking distance to old town. Neighbourhood is okay, not much to say about it, but it’s perfect proximity to everything. Overall happy with the stay, as long as you’re okay with a small, cozy room with average AC.
