Hotel Details

The area is calm and safe, with bus and tram stops within a few minutes' walk for easy access to the city centre and Piazza Maggiore.

Several supermarkets and local shops are nearby, and a variety of restaurants such as Adal and Gang Nam are within 0.5 km. The location is best suited for travellers comfortable with public transport or a short walk to central attractions.

Rooms are spacious and clean, equipped with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, tea/coffee makers, and wardrobes; select rooms feature a balcony.

The property offers double, twin, and single rooms. Some rooms have a private en-suite bathroom with shower, bidet, and hairdryer, while others share a bathroom located on a different floor - this is manageable but worth noting when booking. The rooms are described as spacious and comfortable, with effective air conditioning that works well during hot summer months. Beds are comfortable and some rooms offer two different pillow thicknesses. A shared kitchen and dining area are available, and the property also features a quiet courtyard. Rooms are cleaned regularly and bed linen is changed frequently.

Dining

A self-service breakfast is included and offers coffee, tea, juice, yoghurt, pastries, packaged snacks, and occasionally fresh fruit.

Breakfast items are provided in a labelled fridge and on the communal kitchen counter, with a capsule coffee machine and a kettle available. The selection is basic but sufficient for a light start to the day, and the supply is refreshed daily. The shared kitchen is fully equipped with a stove, oven, refrigerator, and utensils, allowing guests to prepare their own meals. A large supermarket is within walking distance for self-catering. Several restaurants and pizzerias are located within 0.5 km, including Adal, Gang Nam, and Pizza 90.

Wellness and Leisure

The property does not offer a pool, spa, gym, or sauna.

Leisure options are limited to the quiet courtyard garden, which provides a calm outdoor space for relaxation. The surrounding residential area is pleasant for walking, and the centre of Bologna is accessible for city sightseeing. For those seeking dedicated wellness facilities, nearby hotels or public leisure centres would need to be considered.
