Our stay was wonderful due to friendly staff. Our room which was a suite was not . The couch was stained , white curtain behind the desk dirty along with the glass door. The carpet was worn torn in some areas and the shower needs a serious update. The drain in the shower did not drain well with standing water after the shower . Again it was close to main points and the staff was great !

Excellent hotel in a great location. The main attractions of central Bologna are within walking distance and it’s just 5-10 minutes walk to the Bologna Centrale train station. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was nice. Thank you.

Beautiful old world hotel

It’s a beautiful old world style hotel. It’s comfy and has great service, also very old fashioned in a good way. Just how you expect a luxury hotel to be. Only problem is its aging and the cleanliness isn’t quite up to par, stuff like some grungy spots in the bathroom, doors that have water damage, etc. I absolutely enjoyed my stay thoroughly though. If they invest a little in renovations and sprucing it up it will be incredible. Id stay there again.
