In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Unbeatable central location — Just off Piazza Maggiore and a short walk to the Two Towers, the hotel puts most of Bologna's historic sights within easy reach.
  • Clean and modern rooms — Guests repeatedly describe the rooms as spotless, and the lobby as modern and stylish. Soundproofing adds to the comfort.
  • Excellent breakfast experience — The on-site restaurant serves a savoury continental breakfast with cappuccino, fresh pastries, and local fruit, plus warm options like scrambled eggs and sausage.
  • Helpful and friendly staff — Across many reviews, the staff are singled out for being kind, helpful, and pleasant, from reception to breakfast service.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms can be compact — While comfortable and clean, some guests found the standard rooms on the small side, especially for two people.
  • Mixed value for money — Some guests felt the price was fair only when discounted; the price_from of 488 GBP is on the higher side for a 4-star in Bologna, and the 'Price and service' rating sits at 7.
  • Limited public areas — Beyond the lobby and restaurant, there is little communal space—only a leisure/TV room and a reading room mentioned.
