8.7Verified guest“Pleasant hotel, easy to get to, just outside the pedestrian zone and old town, along a street with arcades (handy in the rain). Shops, bars, and restaurants are close by. Breakfast is served from 7am in a lovely dining room. The staff at reception were always available and remembered us each time we came in. The bed was comfortable. The lobby has a large seating area.”
8.7Verified guest“Very quiet, comfortable bed, nice view, large balcony, and Wi-Fi access.”
8.7Verified guest“I stayed three nights. Big breakfast (bread, jam, honey, cheese, tomatoes, ham, fruit, croissants, milk, coffee (instant), tea) served until 10am with no limits (Swedish table). The hotel is calm, and the rooms are quiet, away from busy streets. Air conditioning in the room was free, plus satellite TV and free internet for one day. Comfortable beds, quite spacious. Cleaned every day with new shampoo and soap. Very nice staff. Free bikes (3 available). On Sunday, there's a free 2-hour walking tour of Bologna's historic center. About 15 minutes on foot from Piazza Maggiore. I was very satisfied.”
