Reviews and Ratings
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, had a very good cooling fridge, and two French balconies, close to good restaurants, and quiet. The service was extraordinary - the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, including providing a very early breakfast for our morning flight. The location was perfect for exploring Bologna, tucked away in the charming alleys near local attractions. The dining experience was okay, nothing exceptional, but breakfast was available until 10:30 am, which was convenient.
I instantly fell in love with the hotel as soon as I set foot in the modern, comfortable, and vintage rooms. The location was truly the best part, having everything I could possibly need nearby. The only downside was the occasional smell of cigarettes, which I assumed was from other guests or staff smoking in the courtyard or hanging out of their windows.
The hotel was a hidden gem for us during some very warm days in Bologna, offering a convenient location and a friendly staff. However, the rooms were on the smaller side and a bit outdated with no external view.
My stay at the hotel was truly unique and full of contrasts. The location was amazing, tucked away in the alleys near Bologna's hidden gem 'the finestrella di canale,' making it perfect for exploring the city center easily. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the room had its quirks, like a separate set of stairs and a strong cigarette smell at times, possibly from other guests or staff smoking nearby.
The hotel is tucked away inside the alleys between via Oberdan and via Independenzia, just around the corner from Bologna's best-kept secret ‘the finestrella di canale’ on Via Piella. The rooms have a good size, are clean, cozy, and have a really cute ambiance, though the actual room I stayed in was not what I expected from the pictures. The service was generally good, but a little incident where they entered my room without knocking early in the morning was a bit off. The location is excellent, being in a quiet area with easy access to the main attractions of central Bologna. The dining experience was more than adequate, with good choices, and the homemade marmalade was a highlight. Overall, a comfortable stay with a friendly touch.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were a bit too warm on the first night and small with out-of-date furniture, they were adequate for the price.
I had a very comfortable stay at this hotel. The rooms, although smallish, were well-appointed, and the convenience of being right next to the elevator was a plus. The service was exceptional, with staff always available for questions and providing great recommendations. The location was excellent, right in the heart of the historic area and walkable to major attractions. The dining experience was simple but satisfactory, and the facilities met my expectations.
The hotel is superbly located near the student district and the Piazza Maggiore, offering clean and spacious rooms, albeit slightly small. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful in every way. The central location between the central station and the city center makes it perfect for exploring Bologna. The dining experience was good overall, with some standout dishes. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, providing guests with a comfortable stay.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room, although smaller than expected, was clean and had some nice features. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was convenient, but the dining options were just average.
