Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was delightful overall. The rooms were spacious and very clean, with a balcony offering stunning views of the city's iconic leaning towers. The daily service kept everything neat and tidy. However, the lack of air-conditioning in my room was a downside. The staff was extremely professional and friendly, though a bit more help could have been provided with amenities like the coffee machine. The location was perfect, surrounded by great shops, restaurants, and bars. The dining experience was excellent, with a wide selection of Italian and international foods. The facilities, including dry cleaning and housekeeping, were top-notch. A very positive impression overall!
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room, although compact, offered a nice balcony with a view over the terracotta rooftops. However, the lack of adequate ventilation led to a restless night, prompting a room change early in the morning. The service was exceptional, with understanding and helpful staff. The location was superb, just a stone's throw away from the famous city towers. Dining was satisfactory with a Continental buffet, and the facilities were well-maintained.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, right in the heart of historic Bologna near the University, making it super convenient to explore the city. The rooms were basic but spotless and well serviced, ensuring a comfortable stay. The service from the reception staff was top-notch, very friendly, and accommodating. While the price was reasonable, the Wi-Fi signal was a bit weak in the rooms.
The hotel is centrally located, just a few minutes walk from Bologna's highlights, making it convenient for exploring the city. The rooms, although not as stylish as in the photos, offer standard comfort. The service, especially from Nicoletta, is friendly and helpful. However, the dining experience fell short with some disappointing aspects. Overall, a decent option for a stay in Bologna with a great location but some room for improvement in certain areas.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and nicely decorated, but they definitely need renovations, especially the outdated bathroom. On the bright side, the location was perfect, far exceeding my expectations, with easy access to the city center and charming views from my room.
