The hotel felt like a step back in time with its 1950s charm, offering a very comfortable stay for the weary traveler. The room was well temperature controlled and quiet, although there was a small mishap with a pillow missing during maid service. The location was superb, just a street away from the main shopping district and close to key sightseeing spots.

I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms were very comfortable, with a spacious layout and a nice bathroom. The sleep quality was good, the Wi-Fi worked well, and the air conditioning was effective. The only downside was that it was a bit too hot in the room, and I couldn't adjust the temperature, so I had to sleep with the windows open, leading to some noise at night.

The hotel has a vintage feel to its rooms, which may not be to everyone's taste especially given the room rates. However, the rooms are spacious and boast excellent beds, which is a plus. The service was mostly friendly, with standout individuals like the young man with a mustache, but there were some concerns about security and abruptness. The location is a gem, offering a convenient yet quiet setting close to the heart of Bologna. The dining experience was decent, with room for improvement in certain aspects. Overall, a mixed but promising stay.

The room was incredibly comfortable, and I even received a thoughtful gesture of flowers, wine, and fruit, making me feel truly welcome after a minor booking mix-up.

The hotel offers spacious rooms within walking distance of both the city center and the station. While the rooms were clean, the decor was a bit outdated and some amenities needed attention. The service was a mix of nice and helpful, but also rude at times. The location was convenient for exploring the old town on foot, but it fell short of expectations from previous experiences. The dining experience provided a good selection of food but became repetitive after some time.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with nice sheets and a nice bathroom, although lacking a shower cubicle. The air conditioning is noisy with no option to switch it off. The service is reasonable with good English and hot water provided, offering no bad surprises. The location is ideal, just a short walk from the central rail station and city center. The dining experience is very good with plenty of hot and cold choices, although lacking healthy and sugarless options.

The hotel's rooms felt spacious, even though we had the smallest one available. The interior was rich and luxurious, giving the impression of a spa-like experience though additional charges applied. The service was pleasant and welcoming, especially the young man with a moustache and the women, who could have been a bit more accommodating and kinder after the second morning. The location was decent, about a 5-7 minute walk from Bologna Centrale Station and conveniently close to the city's attractions without being in a dodgy area. The dining experience offered a good selection of fresh food, although more variety could enhance it. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
