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
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.
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.
Arrived late but staff were very attentive with 24hour check in. Area felt safe, room was comfortable, clean, ensuite and great value for money. bed was very comfortable and quiet.
Breakfast was buffet and good selection. however some guests very selfish and filling up their own bags with a lot breakfast items, making sandwiches and putting in their bags which meant there was no toast left for everyone - not hotel fault but why do people keep doing this!!!!! overall lovely stay in bolonga central.
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!
Great location, 10 mins walk from the station & only 5 mins to main square & historical sites.
Room clean & comfortable. Staff are helpful and friendly.
Good breakfast.
The room was very clean, and had all that’s needed. The AC was very good which is so important if you are visiting in summer months. The staff is very responsive and accommodated a late check in. The beds and pillows were the best out the entire stay in Italy for this price, the bathroom is a bit small but very clean and has all that’s needed. I would stay here again!
Hotel was walkable to sights around Bolonga and many restaurants. Room was smaller than others than I stayed in while on my trip. Clean room and did not hear any noise around the hotel from room.
Brilliant hotel with 24 hour helpdesk which helped as our flight was delayed and we got to the hotel at midnight. The furniture is a bit dated in the room but it was spotlessly clean everyday. A very convenient location 19 min to Bologna Central train and 10 min to the main square and almost all the main attractions . The staff were friendly and checkout is at 11:30 min much is generous. We could also leave our bags at reception in the cupboard after checkout as our flight was in the evening. Overall a brilliant hotel for the price
