In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Clean and spacious rooms — Guests repeatedly mention large, modern rooms — some say they're bigger than typical for European cities — and consistently clean conditions.
- Praise-worthy breakfast — The buffet is singled out often for its variety, including cheese and gluten-free options, and is described as all-you-can-eat for €5 with good coffee.
- Helpful, friendly staff — Multiple reviews call out the staff, especially the night receptionist, for being exceptionally nice and going out of their way to help.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Not in the historic center — The hotel is outside the old city walls, about 1.5 km from the center. Guests call it a walk, but often note a bus or taxi is easy.
- Breakfast costs extra — One review mentions breakfast is €5 per person, all-you-can-eat. It's not clear if this is included in any rate, so budget for it if you want the full spread.
- Wi-Fi can be spotty on upper floors — One guest reported not getting Wi-Fi on the third floor, though the lobby connection was fine. If stable in-room internet is essential, maybe request a lower floor.

7.9Verified guest“The room was huge, and the bathroom was better than most I've seen in Italy. The street was quiet, too.”
7.9Verified guest“Really great place overall. The staff, especially the night receptionist, were incredibly nice. Breakfast had so much choice, including cheeses and gluten-free options. The room was modern and spotless, with climate control, a safe, and an LCD TV. Location was perfect – walkable to everything.”
7.9Verified guest“Good location, not far from the Museum for the Memory of Ustica and close to the train station.”
7.9Verified guest“Spent four lovely days in Bologna here. Both rooms were neat and perfect, with good blinds that kept out the light. Breakfast was excellent with lots of variety. Easy walk to the bus station.”
7.9Verified guest“Room was large by European standards, with space for an extra bed. The hotel seems recently modernized, with big mirrors, a fully equipped bathroom, electric shutters, and plenty of lights. There was an old-fashioned wall safe. Location is about 1.5 km from the center, so a bit of a walk or a bus/taxi, but not too inconvenient. About 20 minutes on foot from the fairgrounds.”
7.9Verified guest“Good choice. Breakfast was excellent and the room was clean.”
