Acceptable hotel for a one night stay
Pros:

The location was very good (equal distance from historic centre and train station). It seemed very quiet at night (I arrived after 9pm on a Friday), not many people around the area. The room had all the amenities requested, fridge, kettle. The bathroom was a good size. The staff were friendly and helpful. I didn't have the breakfast.

Cons:

There was only one pillow and it was very flat. The walls were very thin and one could hear people talking and walking down the corridors after midnight.

Buena ubicación, mal descanso
Pros:

La ubicación del hotel es excelente, realmente ideal para recorrer Bolonia caminando. El edificio es antiguo y con encanto, lo cual suma a la experiencia. Sin embargo, la cama fue muy incómoda, con el colchón bastante hundido. Entiendo que sea un hotel histórico, pero justamente por eso deberían prestar especial atención al estado de los colchones, ya que el descanso es fundamental.

Cons:

El colchón está hundido
