Reviews and Ratings
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.
My stay at the hotel was surprisingly spacious and very comfortable. The rooms were bigger than I expected, although a bit overpriced considering their condition. Despite that, the bathroom was nice, and cleanliness was top-notch. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a delightful experience for guests.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The room was very comfortable with a king bed and pillows that were perfect for a weary traveler like me. The temperature control was spot on, making it a peaceful and quiet night. However, the breakfast area was a bit too hot for my liking.
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 provided a spacious and comfortable room with a nice balcony, and the service was friendly and efficient. The location was convenient, with nearby dining and shopping options. The dining experience offered a good variety of food. Overall, a good value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.
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.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! 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 only downside was the lack of a kettle in the room, but overall, one of the best rooms I've had in an Italian hotel.
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.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms and exceptionally friendly staff. The dining experience could use some improvement, but the location is fantastic, making it a great choice overall.
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.
The hotel room I stayed in felt like something out of the 1950s, which was disappointing given the price. It looked like it was designed and furnished by a camp grandmother, with lots of pinks and frilly peach patterns. However, the room itself was spacious and spotless.
My stay at the hotel was truly exceptional. The room was not only well equipped with everything I needed but also presented with flowers, wine, and fruit after a minor mix-up with my booking. The beautiful view over the garden was a delightful touch, surpassing any other Italian hotel I've stayed in.
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were splendid, clean, and comfy with a lovely Sky TV and even a free room upgrade to a suite, making it a top-notch experience. The service was exceptional, with a keen attention to ensuring guests have a wonderful stay, and they even accommodated our early arrival smoothly. The location couldn't have been better, making it easy to explore the old town of Bologna on foot, although a bit far from the train station. The dining experience was fantastic, especially on Saturdays, offering a great selection. Overall, a fantastic choice with excellent value for money.
The hotel has everything necessary despite being a bit outdated. The rooms were spotless, and the breakfast was excellent. The service was professional and helpful. The location is very good for exploring, with plenty of nearby restaurants and bars. The dining options were decent but lacked variety. Overall, a great value for the money.
