I loved this quirky hotel, with the antique bicycles and luggage in the corridors! Also I enjoyed the roof deck overlooking the canal. Fun!

The Hotel is centrally located just a ten minute walk from the train station, then another ten minute walk to the town centre. A great place from which to see all the sights. And if you feel like a change, both Florence and Venice can be easily visited in a day by train from Bologna. When you're finished for the day there's lots of affordable bars and trattorias nearby the hotel. The hotel has all the features you'd expect at this price point - PLUS a kettle in your room - essential if you're a Brit and must have tea in the morning! Staff are friendly and very helpful. The picture of the Canal (one of the historic hidden treasures of Bologna) does actually show the rear of the hotel. Top tip: follow the Via Bertiera to the far end (three minute walk) and there's a CONAD supermarket for snacks and everything you've forgotten to bring.

The hotel staff were really lovely - friendly and helpful. They agreed to keep reception open for us when our flight was delayed and didnt rush us in when we finally got there. They also really helped us with our onward journey plans and there was no problem with leaving our bags during the day while we wandered round the city.

The location is great - close to the centre and by the canal. The staff were helpful, too. My single room had no exterior window, but they changed it when I asked. The decor of the hotel is very old fashioned, and the room small, but it was clean

Amazing location in the heart of the old town with many restaurants and shops only a short walk away. The hotel is quirky but that is not a bad thing as it is very original and more boutique than the standard chain hotels. Staff incredibly friendly. Minor issues such as the bathroom radiator not working but if you left door open it would get heat from the room so no great issue. WiFi really strong and can even stream.

Great location between station and Piazza Maggiore. Small hotel but be aware that there is no air conditioning in October and our room was hot and stuffy. The hotel did provide us with a fan but this did little to help. The room we had was small and the bed a bit firm for our liking. Easy walking to everything. Can’t comment on breakfast as it wasn’t included in our rate.

In general I saw little of the property. I was in town 1 night travelling on business via the airport. Taxi to the hotel was 18-22 Euro. I arrived at 7pm and departed before 9am the next morning. I selected the property based on the reviews. I was in room 1 immediately across from reception. The room is simple and basic. A bit larger than many European rooms and opens onto a courtyard. I enjoyed breakfast downstairs. In general the property is what one might expect from any property between the train station and the center. The gentleman at the desk was extremely friendly and helpful. His recommendation for a single business person looking for a simple dinner was on point. The young lady in the morning was equally friendly. One item to note is that there is a 1 hour lead to book a taxi. For me not an issue but notably different from what some with frequent business travel might expect. This is not, generally, a business hotel, but for my purposes of not wanting a business hotel for at least one night on a 2 week "new hotel every night" trip, this was a pleasant and refreshing departure.
