Excellent place to stay and great location

This was by far our biggest (pleasant) surprise of our trip. At first we missed the hotel due to the scaffolding surrounding the building, but once inside, it was more than what we expected. Very helpful and friendly service. Big room and very clean. Excellent location (300 meters from Piazza Maggiore). Very complete breakfast.

Disappointed

it was terrible. The room was dated the bed was extremely uncomfortable and as hard as a rock. The floor wasn’t that clean. The bathroom wasn’t in the room it was across the hall. And hotels.com completely misrepresented this hotel. The whole building was under construction they were scaffolding all around the building it was very dusty. There were hidden charges that I was not told about. The front desk staff was not friendly at all. However breakfast was amazing it was a great breakfast at the people who ran the breakfast were very nice and accommodating. Add the location was actually excellent. But I will never stay that whole tell again. It’s a shame because it could be so much nicer than what it was. I am very disappointed in hotels.com as well because I called hotels.com to complain about the situation with the room at hotels.com did absolutely nothing which I will probably not use them again. After many years of using hotels.com I have never been so disappointed.

A small apartment hotel located on the 3rd floor of a building located adjacent to the historic district. We walked from Bologna Central Rail Station in about 20 minutes. Excellent, large rooms. Our group had rooms 4 and 9. Concierge service until midnight. Awesome breakfast room. Short walk to historic district. Many restaurants and bars close by. Highly recommend this hotel. Rate on Expedia.ca was outstanding.

Great reasonably priced hotel pretty centrally located in Bologna. Room was relatively large and up a small flight of stairs from reception area (a bit of a surprise since there was an elevator, but it didn't go to this set of rooms). Room was nice and quiet, blocking out pretty much all street noise. Front desk staff was helpful with ZTL information and generally very friendly. Breakfast was great, very good selection of cold and couple of warm entrees.

Nice Hotel in the Heart of Bologna

The hotel is conveniently located near the major historic sites and museums. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the hotel has a nice breakfast in the morning. The hotel has an unusual layout in the upper stories of a mixed use building, so you do not enter the hotel directly from the street. You may also need to carry your bags up the stairs to your room. After 8 pm, the street entrance is closed, but someone is at the hotel desk who can let you inside. However, after 11 pm, you need to use the key to open the door. If you are planning on being out late, this might make this hotel less convenient.
