Carpets were worn, but who cares? Clean room, good staff; biggest issue was the air-conditioning. With record heat waves passing through Europe, the AC in the room was barely adequate. This is true for many Italian hotels, and I’m told in some rooms, the a.c. was better than in others, but this is something to look out for.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was clean but very very very loud creaking floorboards, and there were pigeons roosting outside the en-suite window, which we couldn’t close, so we didn’t need an early wake-up call! However it’s an old hotel and we did have a very comfortable and pleasant stay.

We were looking for a hotel in Bologna that was well located and had lots of atmosphere with large room and balcony and this hotel turned out perfect. We arrived much later then anticipated and had not eaten yet and lucky for us Antonella was on the desk that night and she gave us perfect directions to a nearby restaurant that turned out to be the highlight of our stay in Bologna. She continued to give us the best advice for our next few days that we stayed there. The breakfast here is really good also. We can’t wait to return to this hotel. Hopefully Antonella will still be here when we return.

A very central hotel but unfortunately not great. As mentioned in other reviews, it’s very tired, the bathrooms are terrible and the shower doesn’t stay up, the bathroom light stopped working, the curtain fell off the window and you could hear the cinema next door. It was cheap for the location but not sure it was worth the price
