“Hotel Bologna, though slightly retro in style, stands out for its exceptional service, especially the warm welcome from Rossella. Its location offers a sweet spot: close enough to public transport and within a pleasant, lively neighborhood for evening strolls, plus it's an easy walk to the Nelson Mandela Forum. For those arriving by car, budget-friendly parking options nearby are a definite plus.”
