"I came for work, carrying my usual mix of focus and fatigue, and somehow this hotel became a small reminder to slow down. The welcome was warm, the check-in effortless, and the staff carried a calm kindness that made everything feel easy.
The room was spacious, quiet, and honest in its simplicity. After a long day of travel and meetings, it felt like a safe pause, a place where my mind could finally rest while my heart caught up.
Breakfast was bright and generous, full of small details that made the morning feel lighter. The smell of coffee, the sound of soft conversation, the way sunlight filled the dining area, it was the kind of calm that makes you grateful to simply be there."
"The hostel provides you with the bare necessities, such as a comfortable bed, a spacious room and locker including a lock, and a small bedlight and socket.
Unfortunately, that is also literally it and nothing more. There are no curtains for the beds. The bathroom is super weirdly laid out; there is a bathroom with shower, the only toilet and a sink behind a door; then in front of that, there is another sink and a shower. WITH NO DOOR. Making this shower literally unusable. There are two light switches in the bathroom, one that turns on the light in the back bathroom (behind the door) AND a light for the front sink. This means that, if people are sleeping in the bed next to the bathroom, there is literally light shining directly on their face and all the sounds. A problem easily solved by adding a door and curtains on the beds.
The bathrooms didn’t have hand soap (they were empty) or any shower amenities (no shower gel). You have to pay if you want a towel, and you also have to make your own bed.
There is also a lot of noise from the neighbours, what seems like a student accommodation.
At this kind of price range, the level of amenities is terribly disappointing and could be easily solved. I have stayed in hostels all over the world and sadly this one was just one of two options in Bologna, so not much choice. There are really a lot of simple improvements possible that would have made it worth it, but I really cannot say this is value for money at all."
"This historic hotel is at least 50 years old with lovely vintage charm. Rooms are spacious, bright and spotlessly clean. Boasting an unbeatable central location in Bologna’s old town, it is surrounded by countless restaurants, plus an amazing gelato shop right next door. The only downside is mild street noise at night until late hours. Still, the fantastic location makes it great value for money. Breakfast is average with limited choices. Bologna is a charming city full of history and local life, and I would happily stay here again on my next visit to this city!"
"Questo hotel è ben ubicato, zona abbastanza centrale e ben collegato ai vari servizi.
Buona l'accoglienza in reception, io ho usufruito della colazione e mi ha piacevolmente sorpreso il servizio, un buffet ricco e variegato che ha soddisfatto a pieno le mie esigenze, colazione buonissima e gentilissime anche le cameriere.
L'unico ”difetto” è la scarsa attenzione alla pulizia, ho trovato polvere ovunque, il bagno che all'entrata aveva un cattivo odore proveniente dalla doccia.
Nonostante ciò credo che ho avuto un buon servizio per il prezzo per la quale ho pagato"
