We loved Steam House. The room had real character and the location was great. There were 2 adults and 2 children and, even with 2 single beds and a queen size bed, plus our luggage, the room felt spacious and was well equipped. The breakfast provided was generous and certainly filled us up before we started the day. Steam House represented very good value for money and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a place to stay in Bologna.

Great stay in Bologna. Walking distance to everything. Was a bit of a pain trying to get into the bldg initially amd wish there was someone available at the front desk to ask questions of, but the hotel contact was super quick to respond via text. Large open space, clean, highly recommend

Spotlessly clean & comfortable with a quirky steam punk vibe, this unique property in an area within walkable distance to many tourist attractions. Plenty of restaurants nearby to suit all tastes and budgets. The owner provided a useful list of information including taxi numbers and so on.

Room in Bologna

Excellent room, super comfortable, spacious and clean. Despite being on a street that is very busy and noisy at night, the room is quiet, the windows block all sounds.The restaurants and bars everywhere in Bologna are great, but downstairs seems to be a very vibrant aerea. The staff was very helpful, accommodating and kind. Highly recommend.

Our room was very large and comfortable. Valentina was very kind. We were given a free minibar with soft drinks, biscuits, jams, coffee and tea. The area is bustling with students so there are lots of great bars and restaurants. Despite the noise from the street, the room was well isolated so we had a lovely night. Overall, we’re very pleased with our stay.

The room was very quiet, staff very friendly (notes only on site a few hours a day) No lift for bags and you have to enter through a security gate. Ok for us but may be inconvenient for some. Area very convenient and becomes a great hub of activity at night. Really loved the style of the room.

Cosy place within walking distance from old town

A very clean and nice place with breakfast in the rooms. Nice "mini" apartment with lots in the near surroundings. Only drawback was the superbusy bar just underneath which creates some noise in the evenings (but also very good for drinks)...

Terrific location to explore Bologna on foot. Personal welcome from the lovely Valentina, comfortable beds and a really good shower. The big let down was the thoroughly inadequate AC. We tried to set it to the coolest setting but it wasn’t up to the task. We had a terrible time trying to sleep through the August heat

Lovely, lovely, lovely! The hotel was clean! When I saw the crowd outside I was afraid it would be loud late into the night but the room was sound proof! The entire experience from start to finish was excellent!
