Great place to stay when visiting Bologna
Gorgeous hotel situated around 20 mins walk from the Bologna centre. Staff were friendly, polite and helpful, and room was spacious and lovely. Breakfast was great too. Try to get a room higher up as the views are great. This means getting one facing away from the road (which can be a little bit noisy). Definitely recommend.

The hotel was clean and the breakfast was sufficient. Nothing super fancy and pretty basic breakfast but it was good. The room was clean and pretty spacious. No complimentary water or hair conditioner. There was body lotion though. Staff was very nice.

We had an amazing time in Bologna. Although it’s full of graffiti it is a beautiful city. The hotel was amazing Salvatore and Teresa (front desk) are amazing employees always willing to help and look after their guests. The bartender (Alessandro) in the lounge was always smiling and sincerely cared about his clients. I highly recommend this hotel, but because of these three employees, this hotel is an absolute MUST STAY while in Bologna

Comfortable gem of a hotel.
A gem of a hotel situated just on the outskirts of Bologna center! Rooms spacious, modern, clean and comfortable. Friendly staff and the late checkout was a bonus. It is about a fifteen minute walk into the historic center part of town, but the hotel is an excellent value for the price.
We would stay here again.

Ok, but could do with some modernising
The room itself was quite nice and large for a twin. It was generally pretty clean but there was some mould etc on the sealant and in the shower
The staff were always very helpful and it is a good price per night.
The shared areas definitely needed some attention… we found the roof terrace particularly underwhelming and a bit rundown. There is a phone where you can place orders for drinks but generally the whole concept needs updating & modernising to make it a welcoming usable space.
The hallways and common areas (excluding reception) are a bit shabby.
The hotel is a good 25 minute walk from the centre of Bologna

Comfort and beauty. Slept very well, had a great bathroom, and the hotel's decor was lovely. The front desk staff was welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed a very good breakfast. Excellent hotel in a good area. It was easy walking access to the Piazza Maggiore and restaurants. View from rooftop was a nice bonus. Highly recommend.
