Loved this hotel!! Conveniently located across the street from the train station. We had a street facing room and with the windows closed, we couldn’t hear a thing from outside!! Modern decor, nice room and helpful staff. Good strong wifi!!
An ideal location with places to eat steps outside the front door! We chose this hotel for its proximity to the train station (a 1-minute walk across the street)- Bologna is such a great central hub to get everywhere in Italy via train, so it was an easy choice to choose this hotel for its location alone. The minute we walked in we were thrilled this was our choice. The hotel is beautiful inside, clean, wonderful decor, and friendly and helpful staff. They have their own garden/backyard type setting - you can grab a drink at their bar or just go sit outside. It's really relaxing. The rooms are generous for European hotels rooms and are fully stocked with coffee, water, and so clean. The beds are comfortable as well. Outside your hotel there's pizza, mortadella, gelato, (street foods), as well as "The Food Gallery" where you can order these foods in a sit-down setting, as well as beer, wines, and pastas. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel and I will choose to stay here when in Bologna again.
Very nice hotel directly across from the train station. Great breakfast, convenient location to walk to sites of interest and nearby restaurants. Staff was top notch. Highly recommend.
Hotel was really centrally located,directly opposite the main Train station, despite this the hotel was quiet and there was no road noise. we only used the hotel as a base to explore the beautiful city of Bologna and it was ideal for this.

The location of the hotel is perfect! Opposite the train station so easy to travel & also easy to get to and from the airport. Also just a short 15/20 minute walk into the centre of Bologna.
The staff on reception were polite, professional and helpful. But the bar staff were exceptional! Great customer service, every drink was served with a little snack which was a fab touch!
The room however was extremely basic and could do with a little TLC. It was enough for us for a few short days stay but the bed wasn’t particularly comfortable and the pillows were quite lumpy. The bathroom could do with a bit of a refurb.
The hallways / lift areas could also do with a new carpet and it is quite annoying having to use an ironing room. I know this could be a local law or policy but even if there was an alternative like a steamer in the rooms then that would be better!
Breakfast was ok, we paid for the breakfast for every morning when we booked but honestly we only used it twice. The food was lovely and coffee machines were very convenient! There was also a fresh juicing machine which was a nice addition to have!
We had a nice stay overall but spent most of the time out exploring. The hotel did the job but overall would rate maybe a 3 star due to the rooms and breakfast being pretty basic! Staff and location were great though!
