Very convenient, clean and nice hotel in Bolognina. I like that part of Bologna. It's quiet, and, if you don't mind walking, you could walk to the center city in 25-30 mins. Or you can go by bus in 10 mins. Very nice option for a stay in Bologna.

Duschkabine war so klein, dass man mit normaler Status gerade so hineinsteigen konnte, aber danach konnte man sich kaum drehen. Wassertemperatur war lauwarm, sowohl morgens als auch abends. Zum Glück war es heiss draussen, da kam die Abkühlung richtig. Schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Hotel liegt etwas ausserhalb der Altstadt, aber kann zu Fuss in 30min erreicht werden. War aber bekannt und kein Kritikpunkt.

The property was about 10 minutes by foot from the major train station of Bologna. A little walk but in a secure neighborhood. There was a excelente grocery store near the hotel with excellent products. The hotel was very quiet, silent and cozy. The room was very clean and big. The bathroom new and very clean either. A propriedade ficava a cerca de 10 minutos a pé da principal estação ferroviária de Bolonha. Uma pequena caminhada, mas em um bairro seguro. Perto do hotel havia uma excelente mercearia com excelentes produtos. O hotel era muito tranquilo, silencioso e aconchegante. O quarto era muito limpo e grande. O banheiro novo e muito limpo também.
