We've spent two days in this hotel and the experience was very good. The room was not big but it was very comfortable. As we were at the 8th floor we have an amazing view of the city from the balcony. The stuff is extremely helpful. The breakfast delicious. The hotel is 1.5 km away from the city centre and... More

Hotel was 10 minutes from downtown Bologna on the edge of the old city walls. Very comfortable walk at anytime during the day and evening. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. The room was really good. Only thing that was missing was some form of balcony or terrace to be able to relax on. Would recommend hotel for anyone... More

We booked this room as a stop on our way to another location so we just needed the basics. We checked in and they gave us a huge suite like room. We were with our two boys who got twin beds on one side and we had the queen bed on the other. There was a small kitchenette, big bathroom... More

This hotel is about a .9 mile walk to the football stadium. A mile to the Meloncello Arch to walk up to San Luca, which I can see from my balcony. A 1.2 mile walk to Piazza Maggiore. Close by are two grocery stores and the post office. Of course plenty of places to eat can be found including the... More

We had a room for 4 and it was very spacious and spotless clean. The receptionist were very friendly and they speak very good English. Taxi to the central was only around 9 euros excluding luggage. Restaurants, Post Office and convenient shops nearby. Gelato ice cream can be found just few steps away and the bus stop is right opposite... More

We stayed at this hotel as part of a British Airways Holidays four night package and found it comfortable and pleasant. The bed was firm and the room was spacious with a reasonably sized sofa. The room was situated at the rear of the hotel on the first floor (122) and if you are used to a quiet environment at... More

My boyfriend and I visited for 5 days and stayed in an economy double... Nothing was economy but the price! The room was huge, with separate bar/kitchen area, and a bathroom and adjoining shower room. The housekeepers did an excellent job every day and the room looked brand new every time. The location was perfect in my opinion, I don't... More

Spent three nights there with a friend whilst sight seeing in Bologna. Near train station, airport and town centre. Lovely clean spacious room and absolutely loved the decor. Only downside was the faint smell of stale tabacco, I guess the hotel hasnt been refurbiqshed since the smoking ban. Receptionists were friendly and spoke english too.
