Hotel buono ma pessima trasparenza circa i costi e la comunicazione con la reception
Pros:

Hotel buono come struttura e comfort

Cons:

Nelle condizioni deve essere specificato che sarà applicata la tassa di soggiorno. Non è sufficiente la generica dicitura "potrebbero esserci costi aggiuntivi", in violazione nella normativa che impone trasparenza su quest'aspetto. Pertanto o specificare l'importo (€5,80 a persona nel nostro caso) o rendere noto che i costi aggiuntivi sono la tassa di soggiorno. Quando mi sono permesso di farlo notare alla reception, invece di essere recettivo, l'addetto mi ha risposto con una certa arroganza che mi sbagliavo e che possono fare così. Resta anche il dubbio perché per alcune camere il prezzo comprende tasse e costi e per altre "ci possono essere costi aggiuntivi"

Pros:

Quiet location since it was off the main tourist drag, it also meant we got to get a peek into the real Bologna

Cons:

It was not 4-start quality. The building needed updates and some upkeep. It was 2-start quality at best.

Very friendly staff and a comfortable firm bed. Lovely, spacious breakfast room. Good coffee.

Pros:

ottima la posizione a meno di cinque minuti a piedi dalla stazione, camera stupenda, molto pulita e confortevole, bagno spaziosissimo e dotato di tutto il necessario (e oltre), compresa una doccia per disabili. staff disponibile nonostante fossimo arrivati a notte fonda e colazione abbondante.

Cons:

nulla di negativo

Nice little Hotel
Pros:

Lovely little hotel, tucked just off the side streets south of Bologna Central.
Ideally located within walking distance of just about everywhere in Bologna.
Rooms are small but not cramped and the bathrooms are tidy and useable.
The breakfast is good, there are gym facilities (free) and a sauna and jacuzzi pool available (chargeable).
The staff are friendly and helpful.
We stayed for business and I am genuinely thinking to base myself at the hotel again when I’m in Bologna.
I’d stay for business or vacation and would be happy regardless.
Really really happy to stay there again.
