“The location places you squarely in Bologna's vibrant heart, steps from the Piazza Maggiore. While some rooms show their age with tired décor, they are clean, spacious, and well-serviced. I'd advise skipping the breakfast, though-better to explore the local bistros.”

really super stay!!!

spacious room city authorization friendly staff

i had a triple room. the room was spacious and clean. breakfast offered many choices to start the day. i easily found parking nearby and the hotel provided a city authorization covering the whole day, really convenient. staff were very friendly and always eager to help.

the air conditioner wasn't the best. it didn't quite cool the room unless i kept the bathroom door shut, which blocked the air vents. it was a little inconvenient, especially during warmer days.
