In brief

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms are small — The accommodation is compact, which is common for a one-star property in a historic centre. A couple of guests noted the rooms are basic and on the smaller side.
- No pets and adults only — The hotel does not allow pets and does not accept children, so it won't suit families travelling with kids or pets.
- Limited on-site facilities — There is no restaurant, gym or spa; the facilities score is notably lower than other categories. A snack bar and vending machines are the main food options.
- Check-out starts very early — Check-out opens at 04:00, which is unusual and may be inconvenient for guests who prefer a later departure.

8.3Verified guest“Perfect location – a 10-minute walk to the centre, with lots of affordable eateries nearby, especially around the university. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. My room was clean and comfortable, with a cosy bed and warm blanket during winter.”
8.3Verified guest“The room was small but clean and pleasant. The bathroom was large and cleaned daily. Wi-Fi worked fine on my laptop. Kind staff who gave a useful introduction to the city's main sights.”
8.3Verified guest“I booked a very quiet soundproofed room with an en-suite bathroom. The location was good for reaching the city-centre towers.”
8.3Verified guest“Ideal location – I could easily walk to almost all the major attractions. The two brothers who run the hotel were great at helping me plan a personalised sightseeing itinerary. I also enjoyed the city view from my room.”
8.3Verified guest“I planned to visit Bologna's main sights, and this was a lovely base for seeing them all. I really appreciated the central heating, multi-channel television and study desk in the room. Everything was spotlessly clean. The hotel met my requests in every way – I couldn't recommend it more.”
8.3Verified guest“Overall, it was a good home base for a trip to Bologna. The hotel is well positioned, a short walk from the central station, the historic centre and the surrounding area. The Piazza Maggiore district was worth staying in.”
