Hotel Details

Location

Three minutes on foot from Piazza Maggiore, right in Bologna's pedestrianised Quadrilatero market district.

The hotel sits on a narrow market street lined with food shops, stalls and cafés, steps from major sights including Torre degli Asinelli (200 metres). Bologna Centrale station is a 20-minute walk away; the airport is about 20 minutes by taxi (€20) or via the Marconi Express monorail. The surrounding area is car-free and best explored on foot. Trams and city buses are within easy walking distance, and plenty of dining options are steps from the door.

Accommodation

Air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, minibar, safe and flat-screen TV. Some have frescoed or wooden-beamed ceilings and city-view French balconies.

Rooms are compact but functional, with a double or twin configuration and a wardrobe (no drawers). Classic double rooms have a walk-in shower; other bathrooms include a bath or shower and bidet. Junior suites add tea and coffee facilities and a separate seating area. However, the property overall shows its age: some fittings can feel tired or worn, and soundproofing between rooms and from the street is limited - light sleepers should request a quieter internal room. Daily housekeeping is included, and safety deposit boxes are provided.

Dining

Daily breakfast buffet served in the communal lounge from 07:30 to 10:30. Available at an additional charge of €12.

The breakfast spread includes freshly brewed coffee and cappuccino, sweet pastries, cheeses and cold cuts. Special diet menus can be requested. The breakfast room is small, so space can be limited at peak times. Snacks and drinks are also available at the on-site snack bar. The surrounding area is Bologna's food heart, with countless restaurants, trattorias and delis within a two-minute walk.

Wellness and Leisure

No spa, pool or gym on site. Walking tours and bike tours can be arranged (additional charge).

For leisure, the hotel offers organised walking tours and bike tours - both bookable for an extra fee. Cooking classes, hiking and cycling (off-site) are also available but must be arranged independently. The location itself is ideal for exploring the city's historic centre, museums and porticos on foot.

Facilities and Services

Free Wi-Fi, luggage storage, express check-in/out, daily housekeeping. Paid airport shuttle and meeting facilities.

Wi-Fi is free throughout. Luggage storage is available at no charge, making it easy to explore after check-out. Concierge service, lockers and safety deposit boxes are provided.

Business centre and meeting/banquet facilities are also available for a fee.
