Reviews and Ratings
I had a great time at the hotel, with clean and elegant rooms, a wonderful extensive breakfast, and friendly service. The only downside was the lack of an elevator, but overall, it was a pleasant stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although small, were attractive and spotless, but being in a basement without windows and occasionally disturbed by music was a downside. The service was excellent, with staff going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The location was perfect, right in the city center, although a bit noisy due to street activity. The dining experience was wonderful, offering a wide variety of delicious options. Overall, a decent value for the money.
I arrived early but still got my room, which was a bit small for two adults. The noise made it hard to sleep undisturbed, but the hotel's location was perfect for exploring the city and its bustling markets.
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel with clean and spacious rooms, attentive service, and a fabulous central location. While the dining could use some improvement, the overall experience was great and offered good value for the money.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were huge, exquisitely appointed and decorated, equipped with all necessary accoutrements, but a bit small. While my room faced the church, the evenings were noisy until around 10.30 due to youths using the passageway as a meeting place.
My stay at the hotel was a delightful mix of charm and comfort. The rooms were absolutely lovely, a little quirky and girly, with great pillows and all the possible comforts but unfortunately had an unpleasant smell. The service was cordial, friendly, and very accommodating, especially at breakfast. The location was perfect, right in the historical center of Bologna, allowing me to explore the city easily. The dining options were varied and set me up nicely for the day. Overall, a wonderful stay with some minor drawbacks.
