My husband and I stayed 2 nights. The bed was very uncomfortable, it felt like cardboard.. The pictures online made the room look better than it was. There was some noise during the night but nothing too bad, even with the window open. There was no ac so we had to keep the window open, we were also provided a fan in our room. Bring bug spray, I was bite by mosquitos during the night with having to have the windows open. Breakfast was not good, the eggs were cold and the rest of the food looked just okay. The only good part of breakfast was the croissants, so not worth the money. Staff is friendly and the location is good in relation to city center, but would not come back to this hotel.

Got nothing against the staff. Not their fault. Ok thats out of the way. Stay away from this hotel. AC did not work. Had to use a fan. Old , dirty carpets that are almost ripping out. Yellow, cheap bulbs. Dirty shower curtains. Dirty tiles, with mold. Door keys are from the medieval times. This is no better than a roadside motel. I am extremely disappointed in the hotel, and in Expedia for even listing this. The owners should be ashamed. We stayed in a 3 star hotel in Florence for the same number of days and total expense, and that was leaps beyond what this place is. See the pictures for evidence. Stay away.

Excellent but!!!!

Had a great stay. Hotel a bit dated but good. The location is fantastic right near town and bars and restaurants, Staff were excellent. The only problem is it's next to a cinema and the noise can be extreme right up till midnight. While I was not overly offended I can imagine this will be a problem to some

Great location as Bologna is a very walkable city. The room was quaint, all the basic amenities we needed. They did have a very strict 2:00 pm check in but kindly held our luggage. The room was a little “stuffy” with older carpeting which was our only complaint. Two minutes to the main square. Great location for a budget friendly option!

This is a comfortable 3* hotel , yes the interior is dated, but it doesn't make the place any less comfortable. There's a big lobby area with comfy seats and tables which is nice if you've got a small room. Walkable to all main ghings, 20 mins walk from station.

The property is old building with high portico. The furnishings are old but that is reminiscent of the past and can be charming. The single room was a good size with high ceilings and the sheets and towels all cotton, but the first impression is horrible. The entrance and all common areas have a dreadful, stained carpet that immediately give you a bad impression, maintenance is an issue. Loose floors, broken, missing knobs, unkempt furniture, moldy shower curtains. General impression, poor, unsafe and shabby.

Let's start with the good stuff: the location of the hotel. It is just off the Via d'Independenzia and not too far from the Neptune Fountain, so it is pretty central. Of course, that does mean it is about a 20 minute walk to the railway station. There seems to be a great restaurant in the street, judging by the length of the queues. I found the nearest supermarket to be a ten minute walk. The staff at reception were extremely friendly and helpful; they were able to speak English well. I had a budget single room with no natural light coming into the room, so this made it quite gloomy. The bed was comfortable. For a single room, it was of good size. There was a bedside cabinet, a large wardrobe with safe, a table on which was the television, and an easy chair. The room was carpeted. Of importance, in the summer, there is air-conditioning in the room. The en-suite bathroom was up a step and had a combined bidet and shower. The bathroom had a tiled floor. A big drawback of the hotel is its single small lift - allow plenty of time for your journey! Breakfast was an extra ten euros and I decided not to take that option. There is also a tourist tax in addition to your bill. I think it's adequate for a day, but I wouldn't want to stay longer, although I did, unfortunately!
