The hotel is near the canal but not visible from any rooms. It is clean and decorated in a quirky artsy style, which we liked. It is centrally located, so conveniently walking distance from most historic and cultural sites. It is also next door to a sex toy shop (nothing exceptionally explicit in the windiws) and the neighborhood has a lot of graffiti. If you’re traveling with kids, this may or may not bother you. The room and bathroom were clean, even though it’s all a bit old and there was some mold on the shower door and the plastic toilet flush button kept falling off the wall when you pressed it. The staff are very helpful and, although the WiFi works, it is not strong enough to reach every room. It didn’t work in ours but did in the hallway. For the price and location, it’s worthwhile.

Wonderful, friendly staff Fantastic location (Bologna is definitely worth a visit) The eclectic displays of antiques on each floor are a quirky, individual touch. You'll be warmly welcomed in this well-run family establishment!

Stayed at this hotel for a week with my family. The hotel is centrally located and walking distance to all the sites and train/bus station. Very quiet hotel and the staff is very helpful. The hotel is not luxurious but it is very comfortable and clean. I would stay here again.

4 out of 5 stars

The hotel was easy to find, being just off the main shopping street down from the station. It is 15 minutes from the station and 7 from the main square in the centre of town. Everything is walkable - we had a day and a half and did everything easily. Our quadruple room was clean and comfortable, but the fourth bed is only suitable for a child up to about 5ft 4 as it is short and narrow. The aircon was pretty ineffective, but we could get a breeze through the room so it wasn't too hot. We left windows open at night but were woken early by a lot of noise outside the hotel both mornings. Breakfast wasn't included but was cheap and worth the money - simple but enough to keep you going. The staff were generally helpful, but not when it came to restaurants as they just recommended one run by a friend nearby which has so-so reviews. We struggled to find good restaurants, only finding one on our doorstop as we were leaving (Restaurant Enzo on junction of Via Galleria and Via Riva di Reno). Overall very good value for a quad room - a few niggles but we still enjoyed our stay and the location suited us well.
