Lovely spotless room at a very good price in the centre of Bologna, comfortable bed and good breakfast options. I note some reviews have criticised the breakfast, but I have to say, given the price paid, the breakfast is a bonus! To make the experience better tea/coffee facilities could be provided in the rooms rather than in a communal area, to allow for a morning cuppa in your own privacy, but nonetheless I would certainly visit again!

In close proximity to all attractions. The unit is decent based on the price. Super friendly staff and great breakfast included. Very small property with 9 rooms only, so I was a bit surprise when I see the setting, but the service and room size exceed its price.

We enjoyed our stay at 051. The location is great, and most of all we liked the staff. Very helpful with directions, suggestions, and getting us a taxi on the way to the train station. 051 is in the center of the city, so there will be noise at night, which is not the fault of the B&B, but it is appalling apparent. As others have mentioned, breakfast was lackluster. Bring your own shampoo! Overall, the staff and location are the best part of this place!

Perfect location

The hotel is located in the absolute best location! The room was very comfortable but there is no cleaning service (new towels) unless you ask in advance. There is also no shampoo and conditioner; just the body wash, and no body lotion. This seems to be the new normal in Italian hotels unless they are 5 star. Not really an issue though because there is a Coop store directly next door. We would definitely stay there again. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was great.

The staff here is amazing! Thanks Alessia for all your help! Location was great! Breakfast plentiful but the staff makes this place. The room was a nice size and big bathroom! The mattress was just ok a bit hard. A little spruce up in paint and deep cleaning baseboards would be great. I would stay here again.

well located acvomodation in Bologna

We've stayed for 1 night at 051Suites in the heart of the old city of Bologna. The location is great - just next to the 2 towers. The appartments ate clean and comfort and the dining area is very well equipped with coffee machine, fulll kitchen, pastries and drinks. Note that the parking is 300m away from the appartments and costs 24 Euro.

Most of all, the staff was amazing!! They were always available and so helpful and upbeat - each and everyone we talked to throughout our stay. We had to leave before the breakfast time for a flight and they packed an awesome bag full of food and drinks they left in the refrigerator for us to pick up on our way out. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else!!’
