8/10 Very good

The hotel staff were really lovely - friendly and helpful. They agreed to keep reception open for us when our flight was delayed and didnt rush us in when we finally got there. They also really helped us with our onward journey plans and there was no problem with leaving our bags during the day while we wandered round the city.

I assumed we would have a view of the canal from our room. The door was hard to open. We liked the tile floor and the service.

Horror

Air conditioning not working and making a lot of noise. Breakfast so limited and the woman in charge of breakfast is so unpolite. Really disspointed.

Dated but nice location

The location is great - close to the centre and by the canal. The staff were helpful, too. My single room had no exterior window, but they changed it when I asked. The decor of the hotel is very old fashioned, and the room small, but it was clean

Top Lage und trotzdem ruhig

Wenn ich einen Wasserkocher und einen kleinen Kühlschrank zur Verfügung habe (covidsgemäß kein Frühstück möglich), bin ich schon sehr zufrieden. Top-Lage. Super heiß im Zimmer, schade, man musste die ganze Zeit Fenster offen halten (Fenster auf einen Innengarten, für eine Nacht gar kein Problem).

Quirky & fun

I loved this quirky hotel, with the antique bicycles and luggage in the corridors! Also I enjoyed the roof deck overlooking the canal. Fun!

Solide Wahl

Die Lage ist top: zentral aber sehr ruhig. Das Personal war freundlich und zuvorkommend. Kommunikation auf Englisch war problemlos. Das Hotel bietet keinen besonderen Luxus, ist aber eine solide Wahl, um Bologna ein paar Tage zu entdecken.

Lovely little gem of a hotel.

Amazing location in the heart of the old town with many restaurants and shops only a short walk away. The hotel is quirky but that is not a bad thing as it is very original and more boutique than the standard chain hotels. Staff incredibly friendly. Minor issues such as the bathroom radiator not working but if you left door open it would get heat from the room so no great issue. WiFi really strong and can even stream.
