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.”
