    The room we had was outdated but was clean and there was work underway on rooms on our floor whilst we were there but no disturbance to us at night.

    The hotel was in a very good position close to the medieval centre and had its own parking garage with spaces for larger vehicles. The buffet breakfast was great value.

    Great location . 12-15 minutes by foot to central station and Marconi express to Airport. Marconi express to airport in 7 minutes. The Hotel is old school but they are currently sequentially renovating. Also car rental located on site. Breakfast is excellent-good selection and service. Bed super comfortable.

    We couldn’t get the TV to work but we were out most of the day so this wasn’t an issue.

    Breakfast was a good selection. Room was large and clean. Hotel is a little further from the station then described but a 5 minute walk once you know where you are going. The staff were incredible nothing was too much effort and gave some great restaurant recommendations.

    We had an over bath shower. It was too low, on the wrong wall and difficult to position so it didn't flood the floor. Pillows were extremely hard.

    Breakfast was very good in terms of range of options and quality. Location was perfect. Very good decor on the ground floor

    A pleasant stay exceeding our expectation.

    Some of the hardware in the bath room obviously are a bit worn out and need replacement. But the room is clean we had absolutely no issue here. Though, some people may not like the decoration because it is old style. As I said, the location plus the price made all these shortcomings very forgiving. Should we return to Bologna in future, we would definitely consider staying in this hotel again.

    The location not far away from railway station is a key consideration for me and my wife because we had to take the trains to various towns over the four days we stayed at this hotel. And yet it is tucked away from the Main Street also means it is quite quiet. The size of the room is decent and they provide full breakfast of both cold cuts and hot dishes. We paid a bit less than EUR200 per night and all things considered, we thought it presents good value for money as hotel accommodation could be very expensive in Italy given the demands for rooms by tourists.
