Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while equipped with convenient amenities like a kettle for tea and coffee, may feel a bit cramped for longer stays and front-facing rooms may not offer a peaceful morning due to noise. On the bright side, having a separate dressing closet was a nice touch. The service was generally good, with accommodating staff even though at times it felt a bit rushed. The location, right across from the train station, is ideal for exploring nearby cities, but it might lack the serene atmosphere of the central area of Bologna. The dining options provided a nice variety but could be improved with more traditional offerings. Overall, a decent stay with room for enhancement in certain areas.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were quiet, although a bit small, and overlooked the car park or terrace area. The service was excellent, very helpful and professional. The location was convenient for the train station and within walking distance of the town center, offering easy access to attractions. The dining experience was average with limited breakfast options. Overall, a good value for those traveling by train or car.
The hotel had a strong smell of perfumed air freshener, causing me a headache, but it was surprisingly spacious and well-appointed with stylish dark-wood and hardwood floors. The good price made up for the discomfort.
The hotel was perfectly located right in front of the 'Bologna Centrale' train station, offering easy access to the city's sites, shopping, and restaurants.

The hotel facilities were adequate, showcasing a mix of positives and negatives.
