The room is very nice and the staff is very accommodating. The only issue is the area around the hotel can seem a bit sketchy, especially after dark.

Kristina & Fabio were warm and welcoming. Fabio gave us great pointers. The apartment is spacious, very clean, and it’s location is superb!

Walkable from the train station, bus station, and central Bologna. Impeccably clean, close to two delicious cafes and numerous eating spots - both sit down and take out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would absolutely stay here again.

This property is in a perfect location to visit historic Bologna. Offers onsite parking and is within walking distance to all of the city’s historic places! The hosts were excellent in communicating and giving great recommendations. Would definitely recommend!!

The windows were facing a very, very busy street and the traffic started at six in the morning and went on for at least three hours

It is very close to Bologna Central Station. You can also walk to the old town of Bologna. The rooms are clean, neat and comfortable. International travellers should be aware that they need to call the room owner when checking in.

This is not a hotel or an Inn. You are renting a room in someone’s 3 BDR apartment where you will be sharing a hallway that leads to your door. The room we had (#1) was modern and had an ensuite. But there is zero service; no lobby; no personal contact whatsoever.

8/10

Room was pleasant. Large with a nice bathroom. It was definitely more like an air B and B than a hotel. Took me by surprise since it was unlike anything I booked on Expedia before. Finding it and getting access had air B and B quirkiness.

It was raining, after having tried the intercom several times, with no answer, had to call them otherwise I would have to find another place. They asked me if I was in the right place… I was not told how to reenter the building after the check in time so I had no dinner. The shower was ok as were the towels. I could have been better

When ticking the ‘hotel only’ filter this property is shown as a hotel. It isn’t. It’s a room in a residential apartment. No front desk, no staff at any point in our stay just a WhatsApp message about how to let ourselves into their apartment.
2-night trip

6/10

First off, not an Inn- some private rooms in an apartment building. Be sure to arrange check-in ahead of time. Host was friendly but not at the 'inn'. Room was smallish, bathroom was nice, private and across the hall. Not a very inviting area of town but across from the regional bus station, not too far from train station. Not a pleasant night walk to the historic part of town. We chose it because of train proximity. Bed not US type king, more like a queen.

Like others have said, it was difficult to locate this property, because we were looking for a hotel, not a room in an apartment house. Once there, the owner did allow us to store our suitcases. The room is modern and clean and attractive with a window on a main Street. there are many street people in the area. It would’ve been good to have some mugs and some utensils. There are only very small plastic, espresso, cups and glasses. But there was a mini fridge and a one cup coffee maker.

Whilst staff were very helpful, the property wasn’t as described. It isn’t a Hotel or Inn, just a room in a residential block. Quite difficult to find - no exterior sign and only be peering through barred securely doors could we see a name which was similar ( amongst many plaques). There was nobody there for check in although we had arranged a time, but they came quickly when we contacted them. There is no luggage storage though that was advertised, but the owners were helpful and allowed us to leave bags when we queried this. Our room was clean and well appointed.
2-night trip

6/10

No front desk that I could see. Couldn't use free airport shuttle because the proprietor didn't get up that early. No lounge or common area. No chair to sit in in the room. Bed frame uncomfortable. No obvious signage for the 'hotel'. I had to run the gauntlet of three locks to get in the room. No food available on site .
2-night trip

4/10

The location is difficult to find, the listed phone numbers do not work and the process for gaining access to your room is super inconvenient. The location is close to the train station but is a bit of a seedy area. However….. the biggest issue is the staff. Or rather, the lack thereof. This place doesn’t have many rooms but it still takes them 2.5 hours to respond to WhatsApp messages. Also…. Only once you get there do you find out there isn’t really any luggage storage but they will hold it for you for €10 due to their inconvenience. It’s like….. excuse me? Paying customers are now an inconvenience? No Thankyou. It’s a shame because the room itself is more than adequate, if a little noisy. Also, 2 coffee pods in a room that can accomodate 3 people for days, is at least 4 pods short. The owners are frugal and stingy and I’d recommend you stay elsewhere

le immagini su hotels non sono della camera da me scelta e a me assegnata; il bagno esterno alla camera, anche se privato, non è adeguatamente evidenziato, anzi le foto sono tutte di stanze con bagno in camera.

Se encuentra en una zona que no luce bien pues hay muchos homeless cerca. La atención fue buena en el check in aunque la decoración de la habitación deja mucho que desear. No limpiaron el cuarto, ni baño. Esperaba que hicieran la cama, vaciaran el bote de basura y acomodaran el baño y se llevaran las toallas mojadas y no lo hicieron. Por el precio que pagamos definitivamente no vale la pena quedarse ahi.
