My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location is fantastic, right in the city center, although some noise from above can be disruptive due to the tile floors in the rooms. The service was top-notch with friendly and efficient staff. The dining experience was great with a variety of breakfast options. However, the rooms were outdated and could use some renovation to improve comfort.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, especially enjoying the charming little garden in the center of the city. While there was a bit of a rush during peak times, the overall experience was basic and not quite up to a 4-star standard, but the central location made up for it.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is perfect, right in the city center, just a minute from the main square, and within walking distance of all the major spots in Bologna. The rooms were a nice standard with a nice small balcony, but a bit small and dark with a view of a vent. The service was a bit hit or miss, with some staff being very friendly and helpful, while others were not welcoming or helpful. The dining options were varied but could be improved with more substantial choices. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel is ideally located at the center of the city, making it a convenient spot for exploring. The rooms may appear more spacious and elegant in photos than in reality, and the hotel layout with stairs may pose challenges for guests with mobility issues. The service was a mix of helpfulness and some instances of rudeness. The location offers a perfect balance between proximity to key areas and peacefulness, but interactions with staff could be improved. Dining provided good options, especially for breakfast, with attentive waitresses, though there were occasional issues with service. Overall, the hotel presents a comfortable stay with areas for enhancement.

The hotel's location is superb, within walking distance to all main sights and with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The rooms were a bit challenging to access for guests with mobility issues, and the constant staff movements made it noisy. Despite being cold even with the radiators on maximum, the rooms were well-furnished. The service was a mix of being overly attentive with room escorts and extremely friendly and helpful staff. The dining options were varied but might not suit those looking for more value for money. The facilities offered were adequate for a comfortable stay.
