Initially stayed in an apartment with 1 bedroom and sofa bed but due to air conditioning not working they couldn't fix (staff were great and tried fixing as soon as we emailed), so we ended up moving to a different apartment which was much better. The first had an odd layout in that the only bathroom was inside the main bedroom, so anyone staying on the sofa bed would need to go through the bedroom to use the bathroom which isn't ideal when you get up frequently in the night! The other had 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms so much better, plenty of space, and working air conditioning so no complaints there. It also had a shared Terrace which was nice.

A charming, authentic Bologna stay, We stayed for 3 nights at the end of September, and despite this being the first of four accommodations we ended up staying in due to cancelled flights, it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The building is full of character, with beautiful traditional doors opening into a large hall. Our 2nd-floor apartment was accessible by secure stairs or lift, both requiring a key. We were given five keys for the apartment, which seemed excessive at first but actually added to the charm and authenticity of this wonderful old building. There is something beautiful in seeing original features. The apartment was exactly as described: clean, comfortable and homely, with everything we needed, plenty of storage, full kitchen items, tea, coffee and even a moka pot. There was also a dining table, sofa, bidet and usable shutters throughout. The kitchen and front room had lovely Juliet balconies overlooking a popular but generally not noisy street. Being an old building, there can be some echoing noise at night from the gates, lift and other guests moving luggage, rather than from the street itself. This didn't bother us, but light sleepers may want to bear it in mind. The location is excellent, within walking distance of everything, yet away from the busier university area. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially when our return flights were cancelled twice. They helped us arrange alternative accommodation without any fuss.

Clean & comfortable home base for Bologna. Neighborhood is great - close enough to walk to the train station for day trips (or with luggage to/from airport) but far enough away to be in a set back in safe, lovely & charming streets. Many of our favourite restaurants and wine bars are just around the corner.

A great place to stay for our three nights in Bologna. Everything we wanted to see was within walking distance. There are grocery stores nearby and a good restaurant across the street. Our place also had a washing machine, which I wasn't expecting. Although a bit dated, the apartment was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

A perfect, cute, unique apartment in a great location! The apartment had plenty of space, 2 bathrooms, and a comfortable bed. Its location is central and it’s easy to walk anywhere you need to go! There are a couple of great little wine bars across the street as well. Reception was very friendly and communicative. All around a great find.

Excellent option for an airport hotel and the staff is really nice. The room was both nicely furnished and large (esp for a European hotel), the bathroom was great, breakfast buffet had lots of great variety, with traditional Spanish, or AngloAmerican, healthy fruits, yogurts,etc. They have a free shuttle from/to airport from (I think) 6:45-10:15. It should be a 3 minute ride but because of highway work (early Feb 2026) it took more like 8 minutes to get there (only 3 min on the shuttle next morning!) Unfortunately our flight, which should have landed at 9:15 was two hours late so we had to take a cab. Despite arriving close to midnight, the gentleman at the desk (Feb 2nd) was welcoming and helpful. As were the staff in the breakfast room. Good choice for location, rooms, breakfast.

Perfect location in the center of the old town, but just far enough away from peak tourist spots that it was quiet and safe. The apartment was very secure and spacious. It was very well-equipped and felt very traditional. No roadside parking was available, but there was a garage nearby.

The building is ice, better than most in the block. The elevator...too small and really smelly, like bad garbage. Parking in the area, very pricey 105€ for 3 nights. Replace the old red overthrow on the sofa to make it look inviting and to match the decor better...perhaps taupe color. The place was nice. The amenities offered within really good.

Overall I would give this a 4 star relative to what we wanted from the property/were expecting. We stayed in Bologna for 2 days, and this apartment was spacious and amazingly located in the old town, which was perfect for exploring in a relatively short space of time. The pros were: The responsiveness of staff. The aircon wasn’t working on day 1 and this was rectified quickly, were very happy to recommend restaurants and sites proactively and generally were very pleasant. Location. Very central to main sites and restaurants. Safe area, safe apartment. Space - lots of space to keep suitcases Clean Netflix in the room which was nice to relax at the end of the day. Cons: Quite dated Bed not the comfiest but fine for a couple of days Weird smell in the communal lift and corridor but fine in room Overall would definitely stay here again.
