The room was really gorgeous and felt special—not some cookie-cutter place—and the location smack-dab in the center of Maggiore square couldn’t be beat! Also, their morning breakfast was outstanding. I highly recommend this hotel!

What a great little hotel. Everyone is courteous, helpful and happy to help creating a great atmosphere. The rooms are good, clean and well serviced. Location is central and I mean in the centre of the city. They booked us a number of restaurants all of which were excellent. When we come back to Bologna I will see whether they have a room before booking the flights. Thank you

The room, a small suite, was quite charming, combining traditional Italian style and modern functionality. Floor to ceiling windows looked out on the plaza, cushioned the noise and blackout drapes and comfy bedding made for a good nights sleep. The staff was outstanding, friendly and helpful. Breakfast most tasty. We are an older couple who have stayed here multiple times and undoubtedly will stay again when in Bologna.
