The perfect sized hotel by the sea! Personal service that the big chains, where I often stay, cannot match. Always got the feeling that the owner sincerely cares about the customer and that the importance of the almighty $ is down the list. Amenties like a bathrobe, beach towel, quality toiletries, mini bar... that you would only expect at a much more expensive hotel, are provided, along with a very good buffet breakfast.

This place is not a hotel! I repeat, it is not an "inn" it's more like a short term rental, so I was disappointed - the check-in process was done by a guy that lives downstairs - not necessarily a bad thing but Expedia did not provide any information saying otherwise - this place is hidden, once we found it and got inside the room is clean, however

The room is very nice and the staff is very accommodating. The only issue is the area around the hotel can seem a bit sketchy, especially after dark.

Spacious and plain, but uncomfortable bed/pillows.

Building was very quiet and room was clean and very spacious. It's not really a hotel, more like a converted dormitory that feels deserted in summer. It is a convenient short walk from main train station. The pillows and bed were not comfortable (pillows oversized and too firm, and the bed caved in at the middle.

Walkable from the train station, bus station, and central Bologna. Impeccably clean, close to two delicious cafes and numerous eating spots - both sit down and take out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would absolutely stay here again.

This property is in a perfect location to visit historic Bologna. Offers onsite parking and is within walking distance to all of the city’s historic places! The hosts were excellent in communicating and giving great recommendations. Would definitely recommend!!

I thought that I had booked a full service hotel. I got a one room apartment with no staff. Over six nights my room was serviced once. The area is extremely inconvenient, with transportation being a long walk away on an extremely noisy ring road. I had no direction as to how to get in to the property. I figured out, with the help of strangers on the street, that I had to ring the bell of the apartment. Then, after several rings and a long wait, someone showed up on a bicycle to give me access. Extremely overpriced. I'm not happy about the whole things.

It is very close to Bologna Central Station. You can also walk to the old town of Bologna. The rooms are clean, neat and comfortable. International travellers should be aware that they need to call the room owner when checking in.

Room was pleasant. Large with a nice bathroom. It was definitely more like an air B and B than a hotel. Took me by surprise since it was unlike anything I booked on Expedia before. Finding it and getting access had air B and B quirkiness.

The windows were facing a very, very busy street and the traffic started at six in the morning and went on for at least three hours

Emphasis on apartment; not a hotel or Inn

This is not a hotel or an Inn. You are renting a room in someone’s 3 BDR apartment where you will be sharing a hallway that leads to your door. The room we had (#1) was modern and had an ensuite. But there is zero service; no lobby; no personal contact whatsoever.

It’s not a hotel. It is a room in a private flat

When ticking the ‘hotel only’ filter this property is shown as a hotel. It isn’t. It’s a room in a residential apartment. No front desk, no staff at any point in our stay just a WhatsApp message about how to let ourselves into their apartment.

It was raining, after having tried the intercom several times, with no answer, had to call them otherwise I would have to find another place. They asked me if I was in the right place… I was not told how to reenter the building after the check in time so I had no dinner. The shower was ok as were the towels. I could have been better

First off, not an Inn- some private rooms in an apartment building. Be sure to arrange check-in ahead of time. Host was friendly but not at the 'inn'. Room was smallish, bathroom was nice, private and across the hall. Not a very inviting area of town but across from the regional bus station, not too far from train station. Not a pleasant night walk to the historic part of town. We chose it because of train proximity. Bed not US type king, more like a queen.

Whilst staff were very helpful, the property wasn’t as described. It isn’t a Hotel or Inn, just a room in a residential block. Quite difficult to find - no exterior sign and only be peering through barred securely doors could we see a name which was similar ( amongst many plaques). There was nobody there for check in although we had arranged a time, but they came quickly when we contacted them. There is no luggage storage though that was advertised, but the owners were helpful and allowed us to leave bags when we queried this. Our room was clean and well appointed.

Like others have said, it was difficult to locate this property, because we were looking for a hotel, not a room in an apartment house. Once there, the owner did allow us to store our suitcases. The room is modern and clean and attractive with a window on a main Street. there are many street people in the area. It would’ve been good to have some mugs and some utensils. There are only very small plastic, espresso, cups and glasses. But there was a mini fridge and a one cup coffee maker.

No front desk that I could see. Couldn't use free airport shuttle because the proprietor didn't get up that early. No lounge or common area. No chair to sit in in the room. Bed frame uncomfortable. No obvious signage for the 'hotel'. I had to run the gauntlet of three locks to get in the room. No food available on site .

The location is difficult to find, the listed phone numbers do not work and the process for gaining access to your room is super inconvenient. The location is close to the train station but is a bit of a seedy area. However….. the biggest issue is the staff. Or rather, the lack thereof. This place doesn’t have many rooms but it still takes them 2.5 hours to respond to WhatsApp messages. Also…. Only once you get there do you find out there isn’t really any luggage storage but they will hold it for you for €10 due to their inconvenience. It’s like….. excuse me? Paying customers are now an inconvenience? No Thankyou. It’s a shame because the room itself is more than adequate, if a little noisy. Also, 2 coffee pods in a room that can accomodate 3 people for days, is at least 4 pods short. The owners are frugal and stingy and I’d recommend you stay elsewhere

フィレンツェに連泊中に、日帰り旅行でベネチアにいきましたが、ベネチアからフィレンツェに帰る最終電車が19:40だと知らず、20:00にベネチア駅に行ってショックを受けました。とりあえずフィレンツェの近くまで行こうと、ボローニャのホテルを探してセントラルシティインに予約しました。着いたのが夜中の12時ごろなのに、嫌な顔一つせず、スタッフのFabioがホテルの前の道路まで迎えにきてくれました。スタッフのFabioも、電話で予約を受けてくれた女性も、とても親切でした。部屋も素敵で清潔で、本当に素晴らしいホテルでした。
