We really enjoyed staying here. The bed/pillows were not the most comfortable, but otherwise the apartment was really nice and very spacious. Great restaurants nearby and very walkable to everything we wanted to do in Bologna. The staff was really kind and helpful.

Residenza Ariosto is an excellent place to stay in Bologna. The apartment is not luxurious but is clean ,comfortable and has everything you need. The apartments in via Marsala are in a great position to explore and enjoy Bologna. Instructions for check in are clear. This is our second stay and we highly recommend.

Our Apartment was well designed and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable visit (City map,eating recommandations, General and helpful Information for tourists etc). A Espresso maker with coffee was also provided :)
Check in Communication was Smooth and friendly. Even though it was very central located our window was facing a relatively quiet ally, so all good. Bet was comfy, and everything was clean.
Would stay there again. Thank you!

Excellent!
We can highly recommend the Residenza Ariosto. The apartment was comfortable and spacious and had everything we needed, (including a washing machine and detergent.) It is well located - walking distance tips the train station, major tourist sites and is surrounded by restaurants and cafes. We cannot praise the staff at Studio Vita (the agency that manages the appartments) enough: check-in was very efficient; the staff were friendly and welcoming and gave us plenty of information about what to see and where to eat. A little problem with the toilet flush was quickly repaired. We would definitely stay at Residenza Ariosto again.

Excellent location. Spacious apartment with a full size refrigerator and washing machine.
Was a quiet and safe area.
Refrigerator kept drinks super cold which was great as weather was extremely hot.
Air Conditioners in kitchen and bedroom were a little noisy. Overall a very good stay and would recommend.
