Nice and cozy hotel with friendly staff in the reception. Good location in walking distance to almost everything. Nice bathroom and good room size. Could stay here again.
We had a great stay at this hotel.
The staff were so friendly and very helpful especially Andrea Arru.
We did arrive when the hotel was under renovations which really did not affect our rooms and they were speedy quick doing the renovations elsewhere.
The restaurant was not open while we were there, which would of been nice.
The location of the hotel was perfect for walking.
Definitely recommend
This hotel feels old, have homeless people in the same steet and the room is tiny.
the good thing is the location at walking distance to the city center

They advertised breakfast, but didn't deliver. It was close to everything, so we didn't go hungry.
Quiet & comfortable little hotel, conveniently located in the heart of Bologna. Very walkable too: Just 6 blocks from the main train station and 8 blocks from Piazza Maggiore and The Quadrilatero (with all of its great outdoor restaurants & shops).
This hotel is GREAT value! It's clean, the front desk staff is incredibly helpful, the rooms are comfortable, and it has an elevator. Yet it's the least expensive hotel we've stayed in in Italy highly recommend!

Conveniently located, very noisy, cleanliness was ok. I found old blood on the sheets.
Small hotel just 3 rooms per floor, 6 floors. Super quiet, an old building but perfectly maintained. The staff was amazing, friendly smiles, and eager to help. I will definitely return to this beautiful hotel. Thank you
Located on a quiet side street close to Bologna Central station, clean bedroom and bathroom. Staying overnight after flying in before an onward train journey. Helpful reception staff.
Great spot. Cheap parking nearby. Easy to walk the city from the central location

Hotel is old and need renovations in some area. Staircase has funny noise when walking on it. Did not expect hotel to be that worn down. I had booked 2 rooms, the more expensive room I booked is not much better than the cheaper one, only extra snacks on the table. Despite all these unfavorable conditions. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
The hotel could use a little make-over but it is centrally located. It is an easy 10-minute walk to the train station and about a kilometer away to Piazza Magggiore where the action is. The staff is polite and helpful.
Simple, basic accommodation, which suited our needs perfectly. An easy 10-minute walk to the center of the town. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Note, if you’re travelling like we were and looking to use the laundry service listed on the website; the hotel doesn’t have one.
I do not agree with the complains of other guests. My superior room 514 was spacious, clean and had a stunning view over the Old Town. I had an electric kettle to make tea and coffee. Nothing was broken. The room was really quiet. The staff will surpass your expectations. The hotel is expensive but very well located so I was happy with my choice.
Comfortable beds- room is basic- when sightseeing you don’t spend much time in your room.
Front desk was extremely helpful and courteous. Spoke English, gave recommendations for dining and grocery shopping. Provide maps and areas of interest.
Would recommend for those who don’t expect special amenities. Perfect for the traveler. Gabriele was the front desk clerk during our stay and he was fantastic!

Good for the night on a budget
The hotel is in a great location of Bologna. Hotel staff is very nice and available 24/7. Shower heat and water pressure was good. Bed and pillows a bit hard but manageable. Unfortunately, there was a lot of noise from the room above and from the neighborhood in the early hours of the morning 4-5am. If you are a very light sleeper you may need to avoid. Otherwise, this is an economical convenient choice if you’re on a budget.
