Clean room, nice friendly staff. Great choice for breakfast. The only drawback is the tram works which means you couldn't really see the lovely buildings in the street

Great location, very walkable to most of the large sites. Minutes from the train and bus station. The room was spacious and clean (housekeeping was amazing). Very comfortable bed, good ac/heat. Front desk staff very courteous, accommodating and helpful. My only cob was the water pressure in the shower was just over a trickle. Totally frustrating ! I hope they read this review and correct the his issue. I’d like to return next year.

We stayed here prior to and after returning from our cruise in Ravenna. The staff was very accommodating, allowing us to check in early and calling a taxi to the airport for us. The breakfast had many options, and the AIR CONDITIONING was amazing.

Keeping cover in Bologna.

Great little hotel not far from train station and easily walkable to main historical area. Some nice little restaurants nearby as well. Staff were friendly and helpful as they could! Good for mid budget. The portico’s also saved me from the rain!

Listing says aircon, but regardless of weather, this hotel turns off the aircon unit in the room one a specific date and that is it! Was told...it is Autumn, just open window and only Americans complain. No fan no way to move to a quieter room where the motorcycles aren't stopping under the window and then loudly taking off. The solo room was a shoebox, no problem except it was hot! The small fridge giving off enough heat to make the wall around it warm and you can feel the hot air coming up onto the desk! If they know some guests have a problem with this...why not a few $20 fans...to save a Luke warm or bad review. I was standing at reception with sweat running down. The so have triple windows so most noise was gone when shut but it was hot. Won't be booking here when I am back in November... can't imagine the heat in that room with radiators going.

Small, old, noisy and expensive.

Extremely expensive (due to fair) and rooms were small and old. Very noisy from the staircase and people flushing the toilets. Breakfast very poor.
