Magliana Vecchia Holidays from AU$3,049

Paolo and Alvis were especially helpful at check in and check out. But every single person at the reception is fantastic, it’s 24 hours you hand in your key they take care of it until you’re back whenever you want to come. Housekeeping was great and the room was incredibly clean. The area is quiet: mostly student and residential and is a 10 min walk from the metro station Bologna which connects you to Roma Termini (central station) in case you want to do day trip away from Rome, the Colosseum and many more main attractions is on the same direct line. Lots of supermarkets and restaurants around, and good night time vibe. Recommend visiting the museum that is just down the street from the hotel. Breakfast was included and was simple and tasty, coffee drinks were amazing and the staff is so lovely in the morning. Overall, highly recommend this hotel!

No balcony, clean room, right on the action with a high walkability score. Elevator cannot fit two people and luggage, but manageable. Quiet.

The room was clean, functional, and spacious for European standards. Don’t expect a luxurious hotel but a functional hotel well located with the basics. The rooftop area is really nice during the sunset and provides a great view of the city. Now to the issue, our stay was during the high summer season and the air conditioning in the first room we were assigned to was not working. We asked at the reception to be assigned to another room but received “no” as an answer and were told maintenance would fix the issue. Two hours later maintenance showed up, cleaned the air conditioning filter and said it would start refrigeration in 30 minutes, which of course did not happen as the filter was not the issue. We had the impression that maintenance knew they could not fix it and did something just to buy time hoping we would give up and stop complaining. As no one can sleep without AC with soaring temperatures, we went back again to the reception and another person said they would finally assign us another room. The second room we got had good airflow and we had no further issues. So bottom line is, the receptionist can be helpful depending on who is there, also not all rooms have air conditioning working - if you are traveling during the summer season this can be a problem.
