This was an excellent choice for our trip to Bologna.
The hotel is in a quiet location but still within the southern part of the old town/central core. An easy 10 minute walk and you're in the centre of everything in Piazza Maggiore.
Our room was lovely and spacious. We couldn't quite work out the heating but it was no issue really. It was up a couple of flights of stairs which wasn't a problem for us but there do also appear to be ground floor rooms and a lift in the main building.
We very much enjoyed the buffet breakfast in the conservatory and you can eat outside in the warmer weather.
I would all the staff, without exception were friendly and helpful. The housekeeping too was of a very high standard. They helped us with our bags and ordered us a taxi when we left amongst many other things.
A very recommended base in this lovely city.

Ottimo hotel in pieno centro a Bologna, si raggiunge facilmente a piedi lo stadio. Avevamo la camera nella depandance (palazzo accanto) ed era veramente carina, molto grande e con un bel giardinetto! Colazione ottima e abbondante, il ristorante è situato nel cortile ed è carinissimo!
Mi sono trovata talmente bene che ho fatto prenotare qui una mia amica per un concerto e ho già prenotato per luglio! Non vedo l’ora di tornare 🤍
