My husband and I use trip advisor all the time and when we saw that there were no postings for this hotel we decided to be the guinea pigs and try it out. We went April 2006 right before Easter. Our travel agent picked it because it was supposed to be good for public transit but knew nothing about it. Well here it goes. You take the metro to the Bologna Square stop and walk up the stairs and poof you're on the steps of the hotel. Very convenient. You may need to get buzzed into the hotel depending on when you arrive. We arrived quite early in the morning and they let us check in. The elevators as they are in many European cities can only hold one person with luggage at a time and a very tight two people without luggage. The hotel is up four floors in what is also an office building. The area is very residential and has a bank and grocery/ eat in deli around the corner. The day staff were not very friendly but they did speak English. Breakfast is included but is pieces of bread and packaged croissants with coffee. The rooms have two single beds pushed together and ours had a lovely courtyard view. The marble bathroom is spacious. Our only two issues that we had was that while they make up the room daily sheets are not changed. The second would be the wake up call. The night staff you see is very friendly but they do not speak English very well. After a long struggle explaining we needed a 3am wake up call he said okay. At 3:30 am the phone rang and he said "Hello, wake up, it's late." Thank goodness we had waken up on our own so it was a little humourous but some this may have been a big issue. All in all very reasonably priced.
