About
Hotel Touring

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Breakfast Wi-Fi can be patchy — One guest reported no internet in the basement breakfast area, though Wi-Fi worked well elsewhere.
- Rooftop terrace is open to non-guests — The terrace may be used by outside groups (e.g., birthday parties), which can occasionally disturb the peace.
- Some guests found it more like a 3-star — While rated 4-star, one reviewer described the hotel as a 'lovely 3-star' – expectations on the star rating may vary.

8.7Verified guest“A really lovely stay for our vacation. We had a room with a balcony, and the rooftop restaurant served fantastic food and had a great bar.”
8.7Verified guest“The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, answering our questions about the city and helping us plan sightseeing. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect – close to the center but with parking for our car. We'd definitely recommend it.”
8.7Verified guest“The location and the helpfulness of the kind staff stood out.”
8.7Verified guest“Very friendly staff, and the views of Bologna from the roof garden were wonderful.”
8.7Verified guest“The staff were friendly and efficient. I arrived early but was shown straight to my room, which was clean and comfortable. They accommodated my gluten-free breakfast request easily. The highlight was the afternoon on the 5th-floor terrace with incredible views of Bologna – tea was complimentary, and the only extra charge was a glass of wine on my last evening. Their dinner recommendations were excellent.”
8.7Verified guest“Great location – you can drive right up to the old town and walk in quickly (essentially a hotel in the old town). The Gold room had a cute, modern design. It's good that some rooms have balconies, which we appreciate in summer. Breakfast was decent with choices. The top-floor terrace has a beautiful view – a lovely spot for wine, as long as there's no noisy group (the terrace is open to non-guests, who sometimes celebrate birthdays there). The reception staff, especially the women, were friendly. Good Wi-Fi everywhere except the basement breakfast area, which had no signal.”
