Keeping cover in Bologna.
Great little hotel not far from train station and easily walkable to main historical area. Some nice little restaurants nearby as well. Staff were friendly and helpful as they could!
Good for mid budget.
The portico’s also saved me from the rain!

The room was very clean, and had all that’s needed. The AC was very good which is so important if you are visiting in summer months. The staff is very responsive and accommodated a late check in. The beds and pillows were the best out the entire stay in Italy for this price, the bathroom is a bit small but very clean and has all that’s needed. I would stay here again!

Location, location, location. The hotel is good but its location between the main historic square and the train/bus station makes it ideal.

I chose this hotel for it's proximity to the train station (and the airport via Marconi Express), as well as the bus line I used to commute. Besides that I also really liked the closeness to the historic center. There was no hot water for the first two days.

Nice, quiet hotel within walking distance of downtown. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The only real problem is that the rooms are tiny and barely big enough to fit more than one person per room. Even with two small suitcases, there's only room to open one suitcase. Great restaurants nearby.
