Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, making it great for two people, and the bathroom was large and well laid-out. However, a slightly larger room would have been even better. The service was efficient and friendly, with staff genuinely interested in providing a good experience. The location was convenient for accessing the city center, though mainly residential. The dining experience was very good and rich, offering plenty of choices. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor room size concerns.
The hotel offers comfortable and quiet rooms, but some may find them small. The service is friendly and efficient despite a slight cold impression. The location is not central but easily accessible by public transport. The dining experience is good for Italian standards but may fall short in expectations. Overall, a decent stay with a few drawbacks.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with comfortable and clean rooms. The service was friendly and accommodating. Although the location was a bit far from the city center, it offered easy access to Bologna center. The dining experience was good, but there were some minor issues. Overall, a great value for money.
The hotel offers large and lovely rooms with every amenity, complemented by friendly and informative staff at the desk. However, some rooms are notably small. The location is not in the city center but easily accessible by transportation.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were kept immaculately clean, but they were small and lacked a safe box. Despite being a bit noisy from the outside and other guests, the air conditioning was effective.
The hotel is conveniently located near supermarkets and a short bus ride away from the old Bologna city center. The rooms are quiet and have a lovely touch despite being small and lacking a safe box. The service, while generally professional and welcoming, showed some signs of lowering standards. The dining options are delicious, with a good variety available, but the chaos can be off-putting.
