Buena opción en el centro de Bolonia
Pros:

El personal es muy amable y profesional.
El hotel está muy bien ubicado, pudiendo llegar andando tanto al centro de la ciudad como a la estación de tren.
La azotea es un punto fuerte si vas en verano. Tiene muy buenas vistas por la noche y se puede comer y beber libremente.

Cons:

El baño necesitaba una reforma. Su puerta del baño no cerraba bien, el secador no funcionaba, el retrete era funcional pero muy antiguo y la puerta de la ducha tampoco cerraba bien.
La terraza mejoraría con una pequeña mesita y dos sillas, porque no tenía nada...
Deben solucionar y mejorar su sistema informático pues me contactaron unos estafadores por Whatsapp pidiéndome volver a pagar la estancia con los datos de esta reserva.

Excellent séjour. Nous reviendrons certainement.
Pros:

L’emplacement, la propreté, le personnel

Cons:

La climatisation un peu faible, surtout qu’avec la période de canicule que nous avons vécu, nous avons dû la régler au maximum du froid, avec le ventilateur à fond. Nous avions une grande chambre côté est, un avantage non négligeable.

Great location
Pros:

Great central location, aircon was excellent in the hot summer temperatures, spacious room. Rooftop terrace was really nice but too hot to use this visit. Staff were really lovely and helpful

Cons:

The bed had a big slump in the middle, we had to use a pillow to stop us from rolling into each other
