“Great location, within walking distance of the city centre and the train station. The staff are lovely, as is most of Bologna.”

7.4Verified guest

“Essentially fine and good value, but my room faced the street with heavy traffic even at night. Closing the windows didn't help much; the noise from buses and scooters made it impossible to sleep well.”

7.4Verified guest

“It's a small one-star hotel, so expectations shouldn't be too high. Prices are good and the location is excellent, right next to the station and the centre. The room was clean.”
