8/10 Good
"Hotel was conveniently located across street from Bologna Central. It’s a 15min walk to the city sites and not too far from a large variety of restaurants. If you are planning day trips using the rail, it’s really convenient to be across street. Room was decent and clean. Hotel staff were very polite and pleasant. Overall, a nice stay."
