Reviews and Ratings
Upon arrival, the room was ready with the air-conditioning on, which was a great welcoming touch. However, we had to endure the smell of cigarette smoke from the main hotel, and the room felt a bit dark. The location was excellent for exploring historical sites but lacked dining options nearby. The hotel was very accommodating for luggage storage but struggled to address noise issues for light sleepers. The dining experience offered a wide variety of delicious options, and the facilities were well-equipped. Overall, a convenient choice between the airport and city center with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was simply delightful. The rooms were very nice and clean, providing a cozy atmosphere with good heating and all the necessary amenities. However, they were a bit small and crowded, making it a bit tight to move around. The highlight was the fantastic setting within an old convent, featuring a charming courtyard where my friends and I enjoyed some prosecco.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The room was spacious, clean, and the bathroom was a good size. I particularly loved the balcony and found it very comfortable with all the usual amenities. However, the price could have been better. The service was exceptional; the staff was friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The location was perfect, walking distance to the main station and the historic center of Bologna, making it ideal for exploring the city. The dining experience was delightful with a wide range of good quality products. Overall, a great value for money.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very comfortable, but they looked nothing like the pictures and had an unpleasant odor, as if they had been uninhabited for years. The service was lovely and helpful when needed, providing us with a city map and dinner recommendations, though at times seemed unfriendly. The location was perfect, close to the city center and train station, making it convenient for exploring Emília Romagna. The dining experience was really good with a wide choice of quality products but seemed more geared towards mainland Europeans with an abundance of pastries and sweet cakes.
The hotel is conveniently located near the historical city center and the train station, with a variety of good restaurants just a few minutes away. The rooms, although looking better than expected, had a funny odor due to excessive room spray use. The service provided by the staff was extremely pleasant and the cleanliness was satisfactory. The breakfast offered a mix of delicious options, but there could be more variety throughout the days.
