Great little place, great location next to center.

This historical building has been stylishly restored by the owner. Very tasteful. The owner is very charming and friendly and we will be back to see him when we return to Bologna. He even took the time out to take me to the local cafe to take a coffee together whilst I waited for my wife to pack :)

The buon hotel is a funny one as there isn’t a permanent receptionist so feels a bit half hotel half Airbnb. Paolo was helpful and responsive. Location is about 15-30’ walk from main train station but very close to the main square and sights. Area felt safe.

Good location!

Very central and clean. Friendly staff: very helpful and informative. The only downside (but I think that may be due to the particular position of my room just on top of the stairs) was that whenever someone would open what I think was the front door (some doors, in any case), my door would shake from the draft created (even if I has my window closed), which felt like somebody trying to enter the room. Clearly, that wasn’t the case but as a female solo traveler took some time to get used to.

Be advised that reception is only staffed 10:00-16:00. If you haven't received instructions you will be locked out. The buzzer works, but no one is there nor did calling the phone number posted connect for help. He showed me the texts sent to me and I showed him that the texts had not arrived. I showed him the phone calls I made. The hotel is clean, comfortable and conveniently located.

I arrived way before check in and Paolo was waiting for me with a smile. The single room is small, but has everything you could need. Ac in room, super clean, comfy bed, fairly quiet. 2 minute walk to the main square and eateries. It’s homey.

Lovely, small and functional hotel. Certainly not a full a full service property but it’s not at all required for a short weekend away enjoying the city. Great location near to the centre and surrounded by great bars, restaurants and gelato stores!

Great central hotel

The location is excellent, unfortunately there was building work going on at the building next door. There were two flights of stairs which should be mentioned. The bathroom had packets of soap, a soap dispenser would be better and the bidet cannot be used as u get the radiator in your right knee, such a shame The staff were b friendly and helpful

Heart of Bologna

Very nice hotel on a quiet little street convenient to the center of of the old town. No elevator but owner helped carry bags up the stairs. There is a stair lift if needed. Would definitely recommend.
View from room.  Not as beautiful as some but I enjoyed the authenticity.

The staff was super friendly and helpful--could not have been more welcoming or thoughtful. The premises are super clean and well maintained. The location is outstanding--just a few corners from Piazza Maggiore. Accommodations are basic, but quiet and clean. If you don't need something luxurious, this is highly recommended for the staff, cleanliness, quiet, and location
