Hotel Details

Location

Set in Bologna's historic university quarter, steps from the Municipal Theatre and the National Picture Gallery, offering a 5-10 minute walk to Piazza Maggiore and all major attractions.
The hotel is situated in the vibrant university area, surrounded by medieval architecture, typical restaurants, and lively bars. Bologna Centrale train station is a 10-15 minute walk away (900 m), with several bus lines connecting directly. Guglielmo Marconi Airport is about 6 km from the city center, roughly a 15-minute taxi ride. The property is within a limited traffic zone, so car access requires advance coordination with staff. The neighbourhood is bustling in the evenings due to its student population, making it convenient for dining and nightlife, though this can contribute to street noise at night.

Accommodation

Air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, featuring a satellite flat-screen TV, minibar, kettle, safe, and free Wi-Fi.
Rooms are equipped with air conditioning, heating, parquet floors, a desk, telephone, and complimentary toiletries. Amenities include a minibar (charges apply), electric kettle with tea/coffee, and an alarm clock. Some rooms are described as compact, while others are noted as spacious with good storage space. Noise from the street and neighbouring rooms can be an issue, especially in front-facing rooms; rooms with windows overlooking internal courtyards may be quieter. Bed preference can be specified at booking. Overall, the accommodation is practical and functional, suitable for short stays and city exploration, though some interiors are older with basic finishes.

Dining

A buffet breakfast is available for €8 per person, offering continental and Italian items including pastries, cereal, fruit, cheese, cold cuts, and made-to-order cappuccinos.
The breakfast room is located on the lower ground floor (level -1) and can be cool, so bringing a layer may be advisable. The selection includes bread, croissants, cakes, yogurt, juice, and sometimes eggs and hot dishes. Coffee is prepared fresh upon request. For other meals, the university neighbourhood offers dozens of restaurants, osterias, and cafés within a 5-minute walk, serving local Bolognese cuisine and international options. The hotel also has a bar and offers room service, as well as wine/champagne for an additional charge. A coffee house is on site.

Wellness and Leisure

No on-site wellness or leisure facilities are available, but the hotel provides a shared lounge/TV area and a bar.
The hotel does not offer a spa, pool, fitness centre, or gym. For relaxation, guests can use the shared lounge or explore the rich cultural offerings of Bologna's historic centre, including the Two Towers, Basilica of San Petronio, and Piazza Santo Stefano, all within walking distance. The area also has many shops and arcades to discover.

Facilities and Services

Free Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, luggage storage, daily housekeeping, laundry service, and express check-in/out.
The 24-hour front desk allows flexible check-in at any hour without extra charge. Luggage storage is available free of charge, useful for exploring before check-in or after check-out. Daily housekeeping is included. Laundry and ironing services are available for an additional charge. The hotel has a lift, air conditioning throughout, non-smoking rooms, and safety features such as CCTV, smoke alarms, and a safety deposit box. Business services include fax/photocopying (additional charge). Pets are allowed for €5 per night (max €20). The hotel does not have on-site parking but offers reserved spaces at a nearby garage for €20 per day.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a room on a higher floor or facing the internal courtyard if you are a light sleeper, as street-facing rooms can be noisy from nearby bars and late-night foot traffic.

  • 02

    Reserve a parking spot in advance at the nearby garage (€20/day) before arrival, and give your license plate to the staff upon arrival to authorize circulation in the limited traffic zone (ZTL).

  • 03

    Plan for breakfast at the hotel for €8 per person if you prefer a continental and Italian buffet with made-to-order cappuccinos; for a more varied meal, you can explore the many cafés and restaurants within a short walk.

  • 04

    Use the luggage storage after check-out to explore the city freely, and take advantage of the 24-hour reception for flexible late arrivals.
