"Beautiful, elegant hotel in a great location between Bologna Centrale station (about 10 minutes on foot) and Piazza Maggiore (around 15 minutes). Ideal for exploring the city.
Staff were friendly, courteous, and helpful, with easy communication in English. We were pleasantly surprised with an early check-in at 11:00 a.m. and an upgrade from a Superior to a Deluxe room, which was very much appreciated.
The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a good bed and a large, attractive bathroom. Breakfast was excellent, offering good variety and quality. The on-site restaurant, The Spoon, has a lovely ambience and very good food.
The hotel has a spa, gym, sauna, steam room, and Turkish bath, but access appeared limited to the late afternoon/evening, which was disappointing. We also had a blocked washbasin drain that was reported twice but not resolved during our stay.
Overall, an excellent experience and still deserving of five stars thanks to the location, comfort, service, and dining."
"This was my absolute dream. Stayed on the 5th floor. Room was just as pictured...and you can't envision the magical reality (the evening rain on the skylight was heaven). Comfy bed. No thrills, but who needs those when you have the space and beams!
Excellent staff all around. They even have a magic button they can push to call you a taxi (especially when you have an obnoxiously early flight).
Also good wifi and beautiful common sitting areas downstairs.
Also impeccable location...can you tell I had a good time? Ha!"
"Adorable boutique hotel, exactly the kind of place we love in a new city. Staff was great, breakfast was generous, and the location was superb - a stone's throw from Piazza Maggiore yet still quiet at night for sleeping. Perfecto!"
"The check-in staff was very accommodating. Breakfast was quite expansive with made to order omelets. Beds were very comfortable. Would stay here again!"
