Property and well-maintained older hotel close to Bologna Central Station. I arrived at 11pm and left at 11am so I didn´t have a chance to sample the breakfast, but my overnight experience was good!
Within walking distance of the train station, quiet area, near local cafes and restaurant options. Last minute stay due to missed train, clean and charming hotel.
The hotel is so cozy. The room was really spacious. Near to the train station and we had a small balcony that was amazing.

I felt this was a perfectly adequate hotel and represented good value for the price paid. The location was good being near the station and for my next destination. The city centre was quite a long walk but nothing unmanageable and there's plenty to see on the way. I did not book breakfast I felt the price was a bit steep but changed my mind. I was glad I did. Whilst not exceptional the price compared favourably to a single dish or a pastry and juice in the more touristy areas, I do recommend this so you can spend more on a good lunch
The hotel was small and friendly and close to transport links as well as being in walking distance from the town centre.
Despite the close proximity to these transport links it was a quiet and peaceful stay. breakfasts were delicious
Closer to centre than I thought as don’t usually stay on that side of railway. It was a blessing as there was roadworks outside one hotel and work on the towers at another.
Room nice but plain, bathroom very good. Quick check in and room available early. Staff very helpful.
Spacious, clean, quiet, nice staff. Easily walking distance through the underground passage from train station. Many groceries around the area. Walkable to historic old town or taking buses around the corner.
Very eclectic decor and a perfect boutique size hotel. An easy walk to City Center, but the area around the hotel had coffee shops, wine bars, one of the best gelato shops in Bologna(Sfintina) and an outstanding restaurant next door.
This was an awesome place in Bologna! The hotel was very Italian with a courtyard and villa feel to it. The staff members were so friendly. There are restaurants all around and it is close to the train and bus stations. I would stay here again.
It was a nice small hotel. It was super clean, wifi not so fast, bed was comfortable. I only wish they had a better table for a computer. The breakfast was awesome and reasonably priced.
This place is spectacular! Top to bottom. Breakfast was fantastic a well. Close to train, the staff is great and the price is reasonable. Will be back.
Loved the location and concept of the property. Staff at the front desk was very welcoming. However, taking off points for cleanliness. Some parts of the room were obviously dusty (area around the bed, there were someone’s hairs in the towels, signs of mould in the bathroom). We didn’t appreciate the old duvets much. We would stay again, as the aee
