I guess the price is only for the location. ##### Hasan Fikret Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Carlos Oct 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel it’s in the best location possible to explore Bologna. It’s extremely clean and the staff is very friendly. The facilities are old fashion but the hotel it’s in great shape and really clean. We’d stay there again without hesitation! ##### Carlos Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Ronnie Jul 14, 2025 My stay was fine, the staff were friendly and welcoming. There was a nice balcony area, with tables and chairs, overlooking the city. My room was a single and adequate but unfortunately, the shower was slippery underfoot and with no handrails. Dangerous especially for elderly guests like me. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/97e4e688-ad8e-46d8-9e4b-bbff390c1ab6-1752489764470.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ronnie Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Stuart Oct 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent position in the city. Bars, cafes etc all very close. Clean rooms, efficient and helpful staff. Not the best value for money at over £200 a night, the room was small and the shower cramped. ##### Stuart Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Sandra Oct 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked the parking the hotel offers, and the friendly staff. The room was old and dark. The view out of the window was a big wall. Disappointing experience. ##### Sandra Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Joanna Mary Nov 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Well located. Some hubbub from young drinkers outside but OK. Old-fashioned decor but perfectly good provision. Breakfast not great - I ate it only once. Staff nice. ##### Joanna Mary Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica Nov 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Everything was wonderful! The location, the staff, the room itself.
