Affordable hotel in the historic center of Bologna. The room has a classic style, with a parquet floor, and a modern bathroom with nice green tile to match the color of the walls in the room. The A/C works GREAT. (and we are here with hot outside temperatures.) Our room faces interior - so there is no real view, but there are automatic moveable shutters that when they are closed, block the light for sleeping, and when open, let in a lot of sunlight. The windows can open, so if coming in a cooler time of year, might be nice to let in fresh air. The room is a decent size for two (two twin beds) - for the money, I'd say it is a good deal (I have had smaller for more money in Europe). The breakfast is very nice. Hot eggs and bacon, and a variety of breads and pastries, muesli , fresh made cappuccino , cheese, meats, juices, etc. The lobby has several rooms to sit quietly - and the reception area is very nice. The front of the hotel lets out onto a pedestrian only street in the historic center - but if you take a taxi, you can be left off at the back entrance to the hotel - very convenient from the train station or airport. The staff is friendly and professional. For the price, I would most certainly recommend and would stay here again if I return to Bologna.
