Appreciate that it is a very old building and very unique but better soundproofing is needed. No excuse for poor quality towels and bedsheets or toilet paper. If you're going to provide toiletries, you need to provide more than just 4 bottles of shampoo.

Stayed here since it's near where our daughter is living while studying in Bologna. Very cute - an old convent converted into a hotel. Rooms were decent sized and the breakfast was good. A little walk to the Piazza Maggiore, but there are businesses close to the hotel - a supermarket right next door.

The hotel itself is very charming, and the staff is super nice, they make an effort to give a good service to guests. However, we experienced noise (loud footsteps) coming from upstairs early morning and late nights. Also, shower pressure was very weak so shower wasn’t super comfortable. Breakfast lacks some options. Location is great, walking distance to downtown.

We had a very pleasant stay at Il Convento dei Fiori di Seta in Bologna. Staff was very kind and eager to help, our room was clean and large, breakfast standed out in our travels, with best and wide buffet and best service. The only potential issue was the hotel location, which is about 20 minutes from the city center. but that was not a problem for us.

Decent stay

It is a decent hotel. I miss hotels walking you to the room and explaining things to you; as to how the A/C works, light switches and if there is a safe. Also, someone should show the breakfast room.

Advertised as 4 star hotel with a bar. No bar facilities and not what I would expect of a 4 star hotel. Booked a suite which was a room with mezzanine level with a desk. Breakfast advertised as being on a terrace but in fact mezzanine above reception area. Staff were helpful and pleasant but the hotel was not staffed 24 hours. Had to ask for air con control and the room was very basic for the price charged.

Nice hotel, friendly staff

The hotel is in an old convent. I had a ground floor room with very high ceilings and dramatic lighting. The appeared to be a window high near the ceiling, so it could not be opened for fresh air. The room had a mini split, but it was malfunctioning and didn’t always work. A staff member checked the controls and everything was set correctly. It was a mystery. The room got quite stuffy with out the fan or AC working. The was also an on/off rather bad odor from the bathroom drains. Overall though, a very pleasant stay.

This was a very cool boutique hotel, with a very helpful and kind staff. From check-in, to local recommendations, to room and restaurant service, everything was wonderful. Our highlight of the stay was the complimentary breakfast, much detail was put into it and all of the options were very tasty.
