A perfect stay and excellent location. The hotel was stunning and the staff were very extremely helpful and accommodating. The room was extremely spacious and comfortable. Also I treated myself to a massage in the hotel spa which was one of the best spa experiences I have had.

Anne, Ireland

We were surprised with a welcoming bottle of champangne on ice, large assortment of fruit and a fresh bouquet of roses! The morning meal was quite expansive and varied. The staff was very nice.

Rex, United States of America

The hotel is very elegant and big. It has a wellness area (which we haven't tried), a good breakfast in a spacious restaurant and another elegant restaurant where you can eat dinner (although the food was expensive and meh).

What Travelers Love About This Location

“Outstanding interior architecture and design! I was mesmerized by the countless chandeliers, incredible paintings and vintage decorations. There is a certain athmosphere, old and luxurious, that I particularly enjoyed and I believe that also the city itself offers it. You can easily get lost in time through the crowded streets of Bologna, contemplating the unique architecture, listening to a guitar playing in the distance and being surrounded by a delicious smell of Italian food. Definitely a memorable experience!”

Flavius

Romania

“The breakfast was amazing and the exterior at the front of the hotel is lovely.”

Katrina

United Kingdom

“The location is excellent, near to the shopping streets and Piazza Maggiore but away from the noise of the main drag. Lovely garden and immaculately professional staff.”

눉At first we got a nice room with a balcony. When we got into the room we saw that there was someone living there! So we got new and much worse room. We were not informed about parking costs extra. Several days after we checked out, money was withdrawn on our credit card without approval. WIFI was useless

눉No tea/coffee facilities in the room, a filthy, dirty balcony without even the basic of seating! Belligerent bar staff who quite often had to be sought out for service. Not allowed to take wine to the room unless I paid 5 euros for someone to bring it up. A mini bar in the room with no wine!!!
