So we had an ok stay here despite the cold shoulder we received from the registration desk the first day we arrived. Be prepared to surrender your passports to the desk And your room key! The breakfast was included in our rates but was more catered towards th Brits and Germans. The waitstaff was very polite and nice. This hotel... More

Very happy with this hotel. Good value and excellent location couldn't have been better. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Good breakfasts more than we were expecting and freshly made choice of coffee. Yes it could be noisy at night but it's a trade off for the central location. Excellent having the various terraces also free tea and coffee available during... More

We were very happy with our choice of hotels in Bologna. Parking at the hotel, nice rooms and good breakfast. The price was fabulous and so was the staff, very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in making reservations for dinner. All in all we would recommend it to anyone traveling to the area. The location can't be beat. The terraces on... More

This hotel can not be beat for the price (approx 90 Euros). The room was spacious and the hotel was very clean. It also has a few outdoor areas to enjoy the view, one from the 2nd floor and one from the 4th. The location is perfect as well. The cons would be as follows: The staff, while friendly, is... More

Spacious rooms, perfect location to explore downtown Bologna. Arrived at 3am, smooth check in, reasonably priced at 70 Euros for a double. Breakfast typical italian (2 star level), loads of cafes around to have a nicer one. Parking and traffic can be a problem. Located in the middle of everything. More a 3 star hotel than 4 but would recommend... More

The only positive of this hotel is its location in the heart of Bologna (but 20 min walk away from the train station) and the staff who is friendly. I had visited Best Western in Bergamo and I was very very satisfied so I chose to visit this hotel with enthousiasm. I was very disappointed though. Very noisy rooms (imagine... More

The location of the hotel is excellent - close to the center of everything - and still quiet. Rooms are quite big and breakfast was very good. The hotel has several terraces where you can enjoy breakfast or just a glass of wine in the afternoon. The hotel also provide free tea/coffe certain hours during the day, which we really... More

Unbelievable location - right in the middle of town and an easy walk to the train station. Unlike the experience of other reviewers here, my room was really big and really quiet, perfect. The breakfast was great, and available for a good 4 hours, always nice. The staff were professional and helpful. I spent every evening on the balcony drinking... More

The rooms are nothing to write home about but they have all of the amenities that one would need. You are brilliantly located close to the heart of Bologna. The location is a good reason to chose the hotel in its own. Breakfast is a good spread of mediocre products. More
