This hotel was conveniently located across the street from the train station. This was probably the best part of the hotel. When we checked in there was plenty of staff, but half of them were doing nothing (maybe managers). We left our bags and came back as our room wasn't ready. I came back after the normal check in time and we were told the room was ready and someone would bring out bags up. We waited 10-15 minutes and no one came with our bags so we went back down to the lobby to get them ourselves. We were told our room was ready, but when we got to it, there were no towels and I had doubts housecleaning even did anything. The second day we never got any new towels or a new bathmat so we had to use a hand towel for that. Additionally someone took out the trash but didn't replace the trash bag. There were no signs on the nuts and cookies and I assumed they were free, but they were not and I was charged like 15 euro for them! The communication between the front desk staff and the baggage staff was bad. We waited 10 minutes to retrieve our bag upon checking out. I'm not sure why the front desk people can't retrieve bags instead of calling and waiting for 1 person. The security person near the elevator seemed to be the most helpful at times, which seems ridiculous to me. There were a bunch of times I needed help and didn't even bother going to the front desk. I would probably not stay here again.

Conviently located for the station but about 20 minute walk into the historic centre. Hotel was good and clean. Bedroom was average size with a good bathroom with bath. Rooms did however feel quite dated. Breakfast was very average.

If I have negative review, only TV because I don’t know how to use it clearly. Maybe I just asked to front staff but I didn’t it, therefore maybe this is my fault. Other things are very excellent for me. Almost (All?) staffs can speak English well, therefore, I can talk with staff easily, especially check in.

I stayed for three nights and had been given a very generous-sized room which was very useful. Very good cleanliness and the breakfast service was good too. Around 25minute walk to Piazza Maggiore which to me is good enough.

Extremely friendly staff all around. They were able to accommodate an early checkin, which was very helpful. Large, beautiful and clean family room with nice extras (such as great coffee and complimentary water). One of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve experienced as well with high quality and well prepared food. Very convenient location to the train station (just across the street). I’d certainly stay here again on a future visit.

The hotel itself was great with good breakfast and bar, and it was right across from the train station so super convenient. The female front desk rep was very pleasant and helpful during checkin. Our room did have an a/c leak from the ceiling and staff came right away to fix the problem. We walked around the block and thought the Bologna Food Gallery and Pure and Bio gelato place were great, but the back side street smelled and was a bit shady.
