I found the hotel to be conveniently located in a vibrant area close to the university and the center of Bologna. The room I stayed in was a good size with a lovely view from the ceiling window, but the crowded atmosphere made it hard to enjoy the fresh air at night. The staff was friendly but there were some hiccups with service and extra charges. Overall, it's decent, but not perfect due to a few drawbacks.

The hotel is located in a vibrant area close to the university, making it perfect for those who want to be in the heart of the action. The rooms have a unique charm with fancy furniture, but they can get a bit chilly. The service was friendly and helpful, though the staff primarily spoke Italian. While the location is bustling and full of life, it can get noisy at night, which may not be suitable for everyone.

The hotel is in a prime location, right near Bologna University and close to many attractions. I found the rooms to be clean, but a bit small and with an unfortunate view. While the staff was mostly friendly, I had a frustrating experience during the late check-in. The breakfast had a great selection, but some items were not up to par. Overall, the stay was good, but it could use some improvements, especially regarding room comfort and staff assistance.

The hotel is conveniently located just a short walk from the Piazza Maggiore, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms, while described as 'Grand de luxe,' unfortunately had some unpleasant smells and noise issues due to their proximity to the laundry room. The service was helpful and polite, but the air conditioning could use improvement. Overall, it offers decent value for money, but it has some drawbacks that impact the experience.

The room was meant to be a 'Grand de luxe double room' but had an unpleasant drain smell unless I left the windows open, which also let in noise from students and the street cleaning.
