10/10!

The hotel staff were very accommodating and friendly from when the booking was made to inquiries in between to check-in, our stay, then check-out! The rooms were traditional but chic. If you’re in Bologna, the hotel is in a safe location that is walkable to the centre. There are also groceries nearby.

Nice plush hotel near station

Lovely hotel with some amazing paintings and busts. It seemed quiet when I was there (I was one of only 4 people in the restaurant) but when I asked to change rooms as it was an adjoining room and there was some noise, I was told it was full. The location is great - 5 mins from the train station and about a 10/15 minute walk to the centre of town.

Lovely hotel, kind of an English vibe to it. Staff were helpful and friendly. Rooms well cared for. Breakfast is incredible. The only complaint was the air conditioning wasn't on yet, room would be a little warm in the morning but not terrible.

I stayed here as a single female traveller for 2 nights whilst I visited family. It’s very convenient to reach being only 5 minutes walk from Bologna centrale station. You can reach the main square on foot in about 15 minutes and window shop on route! The room was clean and comfortable. Good waster pressure and a comfortable bed made even better by having thin washable quilts instead of wool blankets on the bed which is so much more hygienic. The breakfast was plentiful. I would stay here again. I found it value for money and I felt safe In the hotel and walking around the local area. The hotel is a little dated but I feel that’s the style more than anything else. Lots of small areas to sit in on the ground floor. I am pleased with my choice and would recommend for convenience and price.
