Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and clean, but unfortunately, the noise from the neighboring room was very noticeable, and there was a lingering smell of cigarette smoke that made me have to open the windows for fresh air.
The hotel has its ups and downs. The rooms are a bit dated, lacking a bath in the bathroom and with an old tobacco smell in some areas, yet they are equipped with necessary amenities like a safe and TV. The bathroom's functionality was hindered by a seized plug, forcing me to shower instead of using the bath. However, the room was ready before check-in time, which was a plus.
The hotel offers a convenient location opposite the main train station, ideal for exploring Bologna. The rooms are outdated with cleanliness issues, but the service is satisfactory. The dining experience is average, and the overall value for money is decent.
The hotel offers quiet and quite spacious rooms, but they look tired and in need of a refresh. The beds are comfortable, and overall, it's a pleasant stay. The service is great, except for one grumpy staff member in the breakfast room who needs some training in customer service. The location is fantastic, incredibly easy to reach from the airport and convenient for exploring the city. The dining experience, although quite good, lacks variety, especially for vegetarians. The facilities are satisfactory, catering to basic needs. The value for money is reasonable.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and fairly large with nice amenities, but the shower cubicle was small and there was a lingering smell of smoke. The service was friendly and helpful, although there were some instances of rudeness. The location was convenient for exploring nearby tourist attractions, but the dining options were limited. Despite some drawbacks, the value for money was reasonable.
The hotel is conveniently located directly in front of the central train station, making it easy for travelers arriving by train. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, facing the garden, but the dining options may not be worth the additional cost. The service provided by the happy and helpful staff is exceptional, adding to the overall comfort of the stay.
The hotel is conveniently close to the central train station and not far from the city center, offering comfortable rooms with some need for refurbishment. The staff is helpful and friendly, though breakfast can be chaotic at times. Its location is perfect for travelers relying on the train station, but may not be ideal for exploring the city center. The dining options are mediocre, and some areas could benefit from an upgrade.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms had an old furniture but were clean, and the air conditioning didn't work well. The view to the inner courtyard was nice, and the bed was comfortable although the space was limited. The service was a bit hit-and-miss with some helpful staff but some privacy issues. The location was very central, close to the train station but also closer to basement rooms. The dining was good with a tasty cappuccino, although the prices were high. Overall, the stay was average with some highlights and drawbacks.
The hotel's location is excellent, right in front of the railway station with easy access to the city center. The rooms, while overlooking the garden, were a bit small for a 'privileged' room, and some had lingering smoke odors. The service was fantastic, with helpful recommendations and professional assistance. The dining was reasonably priced but could have been better for a four-star property.
I've stayed at the hotel twice now for a stopover back to the UK. The room was fairly warm even with the aircon, but it was well set up with plenty of choice. The friendly staff made the stay pleasant, despite the old furniture and peeling wallpaper.
