My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although clean and with a huge bathroom, felt a bit cramped. On the bright side, they were quiet and came with a fantastic large balcony. The service was top-notch, with extremely friendly and helpful staff who even made me delicious vegan croissants daily. The location was great for exploring Bologna, being close to the action but still tranquil. The dining experience, while good, was not exceptional, served in a unique downstairs setting. Overall, a decent choice for a stay.

I was on the 3rd floor with a view over some rooftops, and although the rooms were not well planned and a little small, I received an upgraded room that should have had a balcony. However, during payment, I was surprised by an extra bill for 60 euros for booking as a single person and 30 euros for breakfast.
