“Close to the train station and a manageable walk to Bologna's heart, this hotel impresses with its cleanliness and friendly staff, yet some may find the beds and pillows less than ideal. The included breakfast shines, offering a strong start to the day, and I appreciate its position slightly removed from the tourist crush, ensuring quieter nights. I see the charm in its vintage decor, paired with up-to-date amenities.”
