We loved it (but this area is not for children!)

Great little apartment in a great area (although I wouldn’t describe the area as child friendly- we saw quite a lot of open drug taking and rough sleepers right outside and the bars either side got very loud and busy) this wasn’t a concern for us at all but I wouldn’t have wanted to be there with children. The rooms are great, service was helpful and the in-room breakfast was fantastic. Would definitely stay again

We loved Steam House. The room had real character and the location was great. There were 2 adults and 2 children and, even with 2 single beds and a queen size bed, plus our luggage, the room felt spacious and was well equipped. The breakfast provided was generous and certainly filled us up before we started the day. Steam House represented very good value for money and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a place to stay in Bologna.

Spotlessly clean & comfortable with a quirky steam punk vibe, this unique property in an area within walkable distance to many tourist attractions. Plenty of restaurants nearby to suit all tastes and budgets. The owner provided a useful list of information including taxi numbers and so on.

Room in Bologna

Excellent room, super comfortable, spacious and clean. Despite being on a street that is very busy and noisy at night, the room is quiet, the windows block all sounds.The restaurants and bars everywhere in Bologna are great, but downstairs seems to be a very vibrant aerea. The staff was very helpful, accommodating and kind. Highly recommend.

Be sure to get check in info from host

Like another fellow traveler, we were not provided check in instructions before we arrived. After a full day of travel we were stuck standing in front of a big wooden door surrounded by graffiti and stickers, and people sitting all around in a bar staring at us, unable to enter because there was no one there to open the door, though we were there at the agreed upon time. We had to call to get someone to press the button for us to enter. After going through four different doors, We finally arrived at our rental. The room was very clean and matched the pictures perfectly, the bed is the best bet we slept on during our entire three week trip. Breakfast was just ok, like any 2 star hotel..though this is not a hotel. The train station is a 20 minute walk, or 10 minute bus. The hostess was very accommodating, she just really messed up in the beginning so we were off to a not so good start.

Our room was very large and comfortable. Valentina was very kind. We were given a free minibar with soft drinks, biscuits, jams, coffee and tea. The area is bustling with students so there are lots of great bars and restaurants. Despite the noise from the street, the room was well isolated so we had a lovely night. Overall, we’re very pleased with our stay.

Terrific location to explore Bologna on foot. Personal welcome from the lovely Valentina, comfortable beds and a really good shower. The big let down was the thoroughly inadequate AC. We tried to set it to the coolest setting but it wasn’t up to the task. We had a terrible time trying to sleep through the August heat

The room we had was very good . Lovely bathroom. Breakfast is provided in your room and was plenty for the two of us. The Tv was a smart tv but could not get terrestrial channels so could not watch the euro football. Also unable to change the settings from German to English language. The area around the steam room is little shabby but this didn’t spoil our stay.
