First of all, I would like to thank all the hotel staff very much. They were very friendly and warm-blooded. My room was very clean and it was very close to the city centre. It is definitely a hotel that I can recommend for your short-term holidays

Staff was great, very informative and nice. The room was fine but the bed was very hard. They gave me some extra pillows so that was really nice. AC worked well and the location is walkable to many restaurants.

It was a decent place for 2 night stay- just very loud from the outside and no air conditioning or fan. It’s not the season for air conditioning here

Sentral beliggenhet, bra standard
Sentralt plassert hotell i Bologna med ganske små men veldig fine og praktiske rom. Ett godt alternativ når man skal bo sentralt i byen.
