    May be they serve breakfast and put kettle in the room.

    Location is good near to city center by walking 10 min. Clean and the room is enough for 1 person.

    The room is functional but not cosy. Also the bed was very close to the floor which might be bothersome for people with limited mobility. The entrance is so unassuming that I managed to walk past it multiple times, make sure to keep your eyes peeled when you approach! Of course this is not on the hotel.

    The staff is super nice and will give you tips, explain the map etc. 24 hour reception. It was cheap, clean and the location was excellent. I was happy to find this place as an older solo traveller on a budget. Bed was comfy with a very warm blanket in winter. Room was also warm enough.

    Everything was great. Rooms and quite normal size and comfortable. Location is very close to the city center and the street was not very loud even if you are on the 1st floor. 2 minutes on foot next to the bus station where you can catch a bus very quickly if you want to visit distant parts of the city. There is a shop right next to the hotel that works very long hours. Staff is amazing - super nice and helpful. You can leave your baggage if you have a late flight and they even offered to book us a taxi for smoother transportation.

    The only thing that I didn't like was that our room was on the way of the street and during the whole night it's was really noisy. I understand that in the city is like this ,but when the window is open you can sleep because of the noise and when it's closed can't sleep because of the heat😀

    The location is great! The receptionist were really kind and positive ,asked all of our questions and provided solutions to anything we needed.

    I have slept badly because of the slats under the mattress, since they were put vertically and not horizontally as, I think, a normal bed. This issue, together with a tiny mattress, made me sleep so badly.

    The Hotel is located near the most visited zones of Bologna and 30 minutes by foot far from the train/bus stations. The owner has been kind and always available.

    Keep in mind that there is no air-con in this hotel. There was a fan, but if you want air-con you will not find it here. Shower had quite poor pressure and after about 5 minutes it slowed to barely a dribble--I do not take extravagant showers so it's a bit short. The main negative is that the hotel is right on the edge of the ancient center and it's right where cars from the main road will turn if they want to enter that way. I estimate that about half of motorcycle drivers in Bologna are allergic to mufflers, so it can be loud... particularly if it is warmer and you need the window open. I recommend bringing earplugs. There also is no elevator and no official porters, so this is not a hotel for you if you are disabled or have tons of luggage. There is no kitchen here, which isn't the biggest deal (see the part about cheap bites in the area), but it would have been nice to at least have an electric kettle.

    This is a good price for the location and amenities in this hotel--everything else I was looking at in Bologna for my dates that was within walking distance of the city center was at least twice as much, and even the properties further out were not that much cheaper. It is a very basic hotel with zero frills, but is clean and comfortable and has everything that you need. Staff is friendly and helpful--you will get a run-down of the area when you arrive. It is about a 10 minute walk to the center; however, one of the major advantages is that it is in/near the university district, so there are plenty of options for cheap bites (kebab stands, Chinese restaurants, pizza-slice joints, a grocery store across the street). The sit-down Italian restaurants in this area are cheaper, less crowded, and have lower coperto than those closer to the attractions. I did most of my eating in this area of town due to the cost-savings.

    Old fashioned hotel in the city centre

    We stayed there for one night in June and had a room with a street view. Apparently, the area is very crowded by night and the room had no air conditioning, thus it was challenging to sleep until 2-3 am. There was a portable fan, but it improved the situation only marginally. The furniture is quite old and worn, the bathroom is small and without any toiletries, and the room was small with barely enough space to move around.

    Very good location: within the city centre, close to a bus stop to move around (including going to/coming from the central station), many nice restaurants and bars in the area.
