I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were extremely clean and comfortable, though a bit on the smaller side. The staff was molto molto SIMPATICA and always went the extra mile to ensure a pleasant experience. The location was excellent for exploring central Bologna, right in the heart of the city's attractions. The dining experience was good, offering a variety of selections. Overall, a great value for the money.

The hotel rooms may look more spectacular in photos than in reality, but overall they offer fair value for the money. The rooms were smartly decorated and clean, with all facilities including a kettle, tea, and coffee available. However, the space was a bit tight to comfortably open more than one big suitcase.

The hotel's location is brilliant, just a 2-minute walk to the magnificent city square. Despite being located in a small alley off the main plaza, it offered a quiet retreat at night.

The dining experience lacked a bit of extra effort; however, the staff spoke good English. The pre-made food being out in the open upon arrival was not the most hygienic practice considering the current situation.

The hotel is in a prime location in Bologna just next to Piazza Maggiore, perfect for exploring all the major attractions. The rooms are comfortable with great beds and amenities, although a bit cramped as expected for the price. The staff are exceptionally helpful and kind, going the extra mile to ensure a professional and elegant experience. The dining options are adequate but a bit slow, and the fantastic location makes up for it.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were well appointed and spotlessly clean, but unfortunately, the noise levels from both internal and external sources until midnight were quite bothersome. The service, however, was top-notch, with friendly and English-speaking staff who went out of their way to assist. The central location was a major plus, offering easy access to all the attractions and eateries. On the downside, the dining experience was tasty but somewhat limited, and the facilities could use a bit of a refresh.

The hotel is in a brilliant location, just off the Piazza Maggiore, making it super convenient for exploring the heart of Bologna. The rooms, while feeling a bit small and dated in terms of furniture, are saved by the excellent decor and the spacious bathrooms.

My stay at the hotel was a bit mixed. The rooms were a little plain and on the smaller side, and the noise from both inside and outside was quite bothersome until late at night. On the bright side, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay more enjoyable. The hotel's location was perfect, with everything I needed within reach. The dining experience was pleasant, offering a good way to start the day. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.
