Old but elegant hotel. Must have been high class in its prime. Very good breakfast selection, close to main plaza, church, shopping and restaurants. Very good restaurant next door. Only complaint is the bed was very hard. Needs a foam pad.

Disliked: Amenities
I will start by saying this hotel is in a great location and it is a very traditional Italian hotel. However, the rooms and bathrooms are not to a great standard and the corridors were quite loud, and the walls thin. We were only there for 2 nights for the Radiohead show so didn’t spend a huge amount of time at the hotel and I assume prices elevated due to the event. If you can get it cheap and just want a place to sleep and shower it’s fine but not somewhere if you enjoy relaxing in your room. There is so much to see and visit nearby we were happy staying out to sightsee, eat and drink.

Excellent but!!!!

Had a great stay. Hotel a bit dated but good. The location is fantastic right near town and bars and restaurants, Staff were excellent. The only problem is it's next to a cinema and the noise can be extreme right up till midnight. While I was not overly offended I can imagine this will be a problem to some

Three nights in Bologna.

The rooms were big with an old world charm. It was located in the heart of the old city surrounded by historic buildings and transportation. The staff was very attentive and provided us with maps and relevant tourist information. Could use some remodeling.

Great hotel

This stay is part of a longer trip. The hotel is excellent. Luggage room if you arrive early as we did. Location is in the old area so a 5 min walk to piazza magiorre and the tourist information office. Breakfast was included and it was great. All in all, wish I’d have booked a longer stay.
