Staff were amazingly helpful and location was in the center of everything with shops, restaurants, and the piazza literally right outside you door.

You have to walk to the hotel and due to construction and street closure the closest we could get park was about 3/4 mile swa

Excelente opción para hospedarse en Bolonia
Pros:

La ubicación es inmejorable. A escasos minutos de la plaza principal y otras atracciones. La decoración del hotel es lindisima, muy italiana y el edificio parece ser un viejo Palazzo. El dormitorio es chico y sin el confort de uno grande y moderno pero está correcto.El desayuno muy bueno. Excelente relación calidad precio.

Cons:

El dormitorio un poco pequeño

A tucked away treasure
Pros:

The Hotel has a unique personality that fits right into the location it is found at. Step out the door and you are right in the beating heart of Bologna's fabulous small mercatos and boutique store finds!It is quiet, air conditioned and comfortable. For those with mobility challenges, the elevator is a welcomed addition.
