“This property strikes a smart balance, sitting comfortably between the train station and Bologna's historic heart; its location makes tackling the city's sites wonderfully manageable. While rooms prioritize efficiency, expect a clean, well-equipped stay, complete with effective soundproofing to combat the lively street scene, and I think that it represents real value in a vibrant city.”
