Hotel Details

Location

On Viale Ippocrate, a 10-minute walk from Bologna Metro (Line B) and Roma Tiburtina station. Lively university area with many restaurants and bars.

The hotel sits in a university district, 900 metres from Bologna Metro and less than 1 km from Roma Tiburtina. Regular buses connect to Roma Termini (2 km). Ciampino Airport is 24 km away; a paid shuttle (€50) can be arranged. The neighbourhood offers a wide selection of eateries, including Mythos, La Pagnottella Gourmet, and Toastamore within a five-minute walk. A covered market for fresh produce is on Via Catania. The area is well connected but can be lively at night due to student bars, so light sleepers may prefer a higher floor.

Accommodation

Rooms offer air conditioning, private bathroom, flat-screen TV, fridge, and free WiFi. Family rooms are available.

Each room includes a work desk, free toiletries, and a hairdryer. While some rooms are compact, others have been renovated with modern furnishings. Double rooms are generally spacious enough for two, but the triple room can feel tight for three adults. There is no balcony in any room. Soundproofing is limited, and street-facing rooms can be noisy due to nearby student bars. Daily housekeeping is provided. Some older rooms show signs of wear, but cleanliness is generally maintained. Air conditioning and heating are functional.

Dining

Breakfast available for €5 per person, featuring Italian, gluten-free, and buffet options.

The breakfast buffet includes pastries, yogurt, fruit, cereals, and hot drinks - a basic continental selection suitable for a light start. The hotel bar and coffee shop serve drinks and snacks throughout the day. There is no on-site restaurant for lunch or dinner; however, many restaurants are within a short walk. Vending machines for drinks and snacks are available 24/7.
