Gioiellino vintage in zona Piccola Venezia
Pros:

Struttura datata (non so se per volere o solo di fatto), ma adoro questo tipo di alberghi: mi ricordano i primi viaggi che facevo da piccola coi miei genitori. Stile vintage anche negli oggetti di arredamento degli spazi comuni. Colazione buona ed essenziale, che basta per iniziare la giornata. Personale super gentile (tutti/e) e posizione eccezionale, a 10 minuti dal centro e 15 dalla stazione. Letto comodo e due cuscini di differente morbidezza. Ci tornerei!

Cons:

Prese elettriche non perfettamente funzionanti (ma credo sia stata solo sfortuna). E altra botta di sfortuna, non per colpa dell'hotel, la famiglia della stanza accanto alquanto rumorosa (porta sbattuta e chiacchiere di lei ad alta voce - anche nella sala colazione).

Friendly, atmospheric and superb location.
Pros:

You could shoot a spooky movie in this very atmospheric and old-school hotel. It's clean, friendly and has everything you need. I had a room with a view onto the canal. It was great to be welcomed personally by Guiseppe. I recommend the super value breakfast with good coffee, even if you haven't booked it via the platform. The location of this hotel is excellent, in the old town between the station and the main square, with some great bars and restaurants very near.

Our stay at this hotel was truly memorable
Pros:

Our stay at this hotel was truly memorable. Its location is absolutely perfect—very central, just a short walk from Bologna Centrale train station and within easy reach of the city’s main attractions, including Piazza Maggiore. There are also plenty of wonderful trattorias and restaurants nearby, making it an ideal base for exploring Bologna on foot.
What makes the hotel particularly special is its unique and atmospheric décor. The beautiful antiques and carefully selected objects make you feel as though you have stepped into another era, creating a warm, elegant and genuinely distinctive atmosphere.
The breakfast was lovely and thoughtfully prepared, with the added pleasure of enjoying it overlooking the canal. We also especially appreciated the beautiful underground area and the hotel’s very charming and unusual courtyard, both of which add to its character.

Super net i ben ubicat
Pros:

Molt ben ubicat i molt net. L'esmorzar molt complet. No em passat gens de calor.
El millor, la ubicació, prop del centre i de l'estació de trens.

Cons:

És un hotel antic, si voleu algo xic no és el vostre hotel. Però és molt confortable i amb tots els serveis que pugueu esperar. El recomanaria sempre.
