“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.”

The air conditioning system was ineffective at cooling the room. The room was on the top floor. The television remote did not function.

really super stay!!!

spacious roomcity authorizationfriendly staffweak air conditioner

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.
