Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel interior is fantastic, with nice furniture and adorable decorations. However, the air conditioning was insufficient, and the rooms were in shabby condition. The staff immediately responded to my complaint, showing great service. The location is hidden in a quiet courtyard but quite far from the main squares. Dining options are good, especially with the outdoor seating area. Overall, a mixed experience with some great aspects and some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms weren't prepared upon check-in, there were some issues with the waste pipes, but on the bright side, the room was beautifully decorated with a lovely terrace, and complimentary toiletries were a nice touch.
The hotel had clean and comfortable rooms with friendly staff offering helpful service. The location was convenient but a bit far from the center, yet it felt safe. The dining experience was good, with varied breakfast options included. Overall, a pleasant stay with minor drawbacks.
The hotel's location is excellent, very close to the train station and within walking distance to the city center. The rooms are comfortable, although a bit small for a Superior Double room. The service is responsive and friendly, offering assistance with taxi bookings. The dining experience is pleasant, reminiscent of an Italian grandma's kitchen. Overall, a good choice for those looking for convenience and coziness in Bologna.
