In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Central location near everything — Guests repeatedly mention the hotel's convenience: a short walk from the train station, with shops, restaurants, and the main historic sights all within easy reach.
- Breakfast that stands out — The breakfast gets consistent praise for its variety, quality, and constant replenishment, with fresh pastries, eggs, and good coffee.
- Quiet and comfortable rooms — Even rooms facing the main street are noted for being quiet, helped by soundproofing and trees outside. Guests also praise the comfort of the beds and the cleanliness.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness rating is only average — While many guests enjoy their rooms, the hotel's rating for rooms and cleanliness sits at 6 out of 10, suggesting some inconsistency.
- Parking costs extra — If you arrive by car, parking is 15 euros per day – guests say it's worth it for the convenience, but it adds to the cost.
- Check-in ends at 23:30 — The official check-in window is from 14:00 to 23:30, so a very late arrival may need coordination with the 24-hour reception.

8.2Verified guest“A lot of options and good food.”
8.2Verified guest“Close to the sights, there's a nice outdoor seating area and the hotel has a lovely historic character.”
8.2Verified guest“We were only here one night, so we didn't need anything special. The hotel looks good, check-in was instant, our room was quiet with windows facing the courtyard, everything was clean, bed comfy, and linen was fresh. The bathroom was large and had everything we needed. The glasses in the mini-bar were chilled, ready for a bottle of wine. Breakfast was excellent – quality produce, lots of pastries, and the plates were topped up constantly. The dining room is big with plenty of seats. We arrived late and the receptionist recommended a great pub just steps away that serves good food until 3am. We were grateful for that tip.”
8.2Verified guest“A beautiful, stylish, and comfortable hotel right in the heart of Bologna. Unlike other places on our trip, it was warm and welcoming, with carpets and a really cosy room. The bathroom had slippers, cosmetics, a light, and everything was great. There was even a kettle. The hotel feels fresh, rooms are lovely, and breakfast was excellent – in early May there were strawberries, lots of cheeses, yoghurts, vegetables, and something hot. The pastries were fresh. The restaurant is smart and spacious. Its location is perfect – everything is walkable, close to the central square and the leaning towers. Plenty of restaurants, taverns, and coffee shops nearby. Reception were professional and courteous. We really liked it and would definitely come back.”
