Stayed here since it's near where our daughter is living while studying in Bologna. Very cute - an old convent converted into a hotel. Rooms were decent sized and the breakfast was good. A little walk to the Piazza Maggiore, but there are businesses close to the hotel - a supermarket right next door.

This was a very cool boutique hotel, with a very helpful and kind staff. From check-in, to local recommendations, to room and restaurant service, everything was wonderful. Our highlight of the stay was the complimentary breakfast, much detail was put into it and all of the options were very tasty.

Appreciate that it is a very old building and very unique but better soundproofing is needed. No excuse for poor quality towels and bedsheets or toilet paper. If you're going to provide toiletries, you need to provide more than just 4 bottles of shampoo.

We had a very pleasant stay at Il Convento dei Fiori di Seta in Bologna. Staff was very kind and eager to help, our room was clean and large, breakfast standed out in our travels, with best and wide buffet and best service. The only potential issue was the hotel location, which is about 20 minutes from the city center. but that was not a problem for us.

Decent stay

It is a decent hotel. I miss hotels walking you to the room and explaining things to you; as to how the A/C works, light switches and if there is a safe. Also, someone should show the breakfast room.

Liked: Staff & service
The hotel itself is very charming, and the staff is super nice, they make an effort to give a good service to guests. However, we experienced noise (loud footsteps) coming from upstairs early morning and late nights. Also, shower pressure was very weak so shower wasn’t super comfortable. Breakfast lacks some options. Location is great, walking distance to downtown.

The reception staff was very friendly, the hotel is definitely not a 4 star Hotel and I don't understand how they manage to get that since everything is old and nothing modern, it looks like earlier was a church so it makes interesting the stay, I don't think I will be back but it was ok for a couple of nights.
