We had a lovely room with a balcony. It was really more of a suite and suited our group of three singles traveling together. Our room was large, with plenty of space to spread out. The staff was great.

Lovely hotel and great sized rooms. Quite a walk from central Bologna, around 30 minutes but it is an easy route to take. Good transport connections outside the property.

Rooms and place is old, needs to upgrade. The construction in front of the hotel is very inconvenient. Good thing we had parking space at no charge.

The staff were friendly and the room was clean. The shower head holder was broken this was reported to staff but it was not fixed for our stay. The breakfast was not worth 8 euros. It was a choice of cold bacon and cold scrambled eggs. Toast. A cold boiled egg.The coffee machine was broken. Plus a continental breakfast. As you walk into the hotel it is very dark wood as it is a retro hotel but looks very old. There is no evening meal availability as the restaurant is closed.

Vous avez besoin d'un nouveau souffle managerial.
J'ai juste passé une nuit dans cet hotel; rien d'horrible mais faut pas être un Einstein pour faire de simple constat de la saleté dans la chambre. La poussière était présente sur la chaise dans la chambre, l'étagère en dessous du miroir dans la salle de bains également pleins de poussière. Et le miroir également était nettoyé avec negligence on y trouve des traces. La climatisation fonctionnait mais avec trop de bruits pas de moyen de l'éteindre. Pour un 4 étoile, c'est triste de pas trouver en chambre un mini bar, ou tout simple une machine à café ou une théière. La nuit et également très tot en matinée des bruits pas catholique s'écoutait
