This is our second stay at this hotel. No point really looking elsewhere for our budget. Perfect location near Piazza Maggiore and the centre of Bologna's tourist area. Restaurants and shopping within easy walking distance and the hotel is in a quiet location.

Great little boutique hotel and breakfast was very good!

Location was great .. minutes away from the interesting places in Bologna ,very close to many shops and restaurants. Right in the heart of the city . The art in the hotel is very pretty and colorful and certainly a nice change from other hotels.

It’s kind of old and squeaky although bathroom is updated . Room was small. Elevator was horrible and scary kept jiggling and making noises , was stuck the next morning we were there , it really needs updating. We were on the third and last floor of the hotel , we had to use the stairs most of the time , the elevator was very slow going up and down. We had to climb 4 flights of stairs after breakfast which was on -1 . Breakfast was OK, nothing special. Could be much better for a four star hotel in Italy .

This hotel is located in the very center of Bologna - a perfect place for exploring the city. If you are driving your own vehicle be sure to get, and follow, the hotel instructions as you will be driving in the ZTL and through a pedestrian area. It may sound a little daunting at first, but we actually found it easy to do. Parking is available at the hotel for an additional fee. Being able to walk out the door and be right in Piazza Maggiore was a real benefit for us, as we had limited time to explore the city. The staff were very helpful, and called several restaurants for us to finally find one that had space for a last minute reservation. Also, the breakfast was great - lots of variety and well stocked. Room was comfortable, with interesting decor and nice bed. All in all it was an excellent choice!

Nothing!

We were ìn an apartment, a short distance from the hotel. The apartment was very spacious and had everything you would need for a short or long stay. The breakfast was in the hotel itself and had a great selection as part of the inclusive continental breakfast, including gluten free and dairy free options. I would definitely stay here again if going to Bologna. It is very close to Piazza Maggiore, so it is really close to all the main sites of Bologna. The staff were all really friendly and helpful too.

There wasn't anything I didn't like.

Excellent location, across the street from the Basilica. Nice buffet breakfast. Room pleasant, but not large. The balcony that was a selling point was really only useful for one night, because of the cool weather.

Some of the front-desk staff were friendly, while others were rather reserved -- helpful but not all that outgoing.

We loved the location right off of Piazza Maggiore. It was a convenient spot to walk and explore. The breakfast was an expansive layout of food with lots to choose from. I loved that you could place an order for whatever coffee drink you wanted and it was made for you right then. Excellent cappuccino as you would expect in Italy.

The only negative was when we came back in the middle of the afternoon for a break there was construction going on somewhere in a room near ours. It was loud and made it hard to relax. I realize that there is never a good time to do work in a hotel so it was just an annoyance and nothing to complain about as it was happening.

Front desk were helpful, room was comfortable and breakfast was excellent. Loved the Historic Art themed interior design

Make sure you catch taxi or arrange transfer from Train Station to hotel. Distance to pull suitcases over cobblestone is a little far

Lovely period features. Quirky but fun room design. Excellent breakfast

The TV in the room was enormous placed on a plinth in the middle of the room. It felt obstructive. Also, the room lighting was either full on department store bright, or just the reading light. Nothing in between

My stay was great. The room was just fine. Lots of stairs (even in my room!?) but that was fine. The location was terrific for walking around and seeing a bit of Bologna.

Getting there by car was harrowing, but the directions in and our (and the video) got the job done.

Fantastic breakfasts!! Good size room, comfortable bed. Wonderful position for walking around the city centre! Right next to the cathedral! Friendly staff.

A bit noisy - it was on the first floor above the entry door but that wasn’t a problem. I could hear my neighbour’s bathroom water noises and footsteps in the corridor. One night I could smell strong cigarette smoke in my room - it seemed to come in when the heating went on, but also in the corridor. The hotel was cigarette smoking free but the smell came in for a couple of hours. I could open the window but it was 2C degrees or less! There were only 2 stools to sit on next to a small table - a proper comfortable chair would have been good! Shower a bit squeezy!
