Excelente
Localizado em ponto estratégico de fácil acesso, o hotel se destaca pela conveniência e oferece elevador para maior comodidade dos hóspedes. O café da manhã, embora simples, era delicioso, preparado com cuidado e sabor. A cordialidade e presteza dos atendentes contribuíram para uma estadia ainda mais agradável, e a impecável limpeza do quarto proporcionou um descanso revigorante.

Lovely hotel in central bolonga
Arrived late but staff were very attentive with 24hour check in. Area felt safe, room was comfortable, clean, ensuite and great value for money. bed was very comfortable and quiet.
Breakfast was buffet and good selection. however some guests very selfish and filling up their own bags with a lot breakfast items, making sandwiches and putting in their bags which meant there was no toast left for everyone - not hotel fault but why do people keep doing this!!!!! overall lovely stay in bolonga central.

hotel senza pretese a ca 400 metri da piazza maggiore a Bologna.
Struttura datata con camere piccole. Colazione minimalista, non ne vale il prezzo.
Staff molto cortese e disponibile.
In complesso "you got what you paid for"

Keeping cover in Bologna.
Great little hotel not far from train station and easily walkable to main historical area. Some nice little restaurants nearby as well. Staff were friendly and helpful as they could!
Good for mid budget.
The portico’s also saved me from the rain!

Hotel a 5 minuti dalla stazione in piena via indipendenza per cui in pieno centro comodissimo per spostarsi a piedi. Camere pulite, calde , personale molto gentile e zelante, colazione molto varia declinata sul gusto italiano per cui predominante la parte dolce.
Hotel perfetto per un viaggio a Bologna.
Lo consiglio senza dubbi.
