Lovely spacious apartment. Good facilities. A lot of traffic noise but ear plugs were provided and I slept very well. I wasn't able to get breakfast, the kitchen seemed to be closed a lot, the most I managed were a couple of coffees on the last day.

Unable to give a full review. I was unable to check in. No answer at the property and no response to communication. Had to find other accommodation. I had booked 3 nights, and had still not had a reply by the end of my stay. Based on this I would not recommend booking it!

Despite being advertised as bed and breakfast no breakfast was provided and there was not a kettle in the room to make a cup of tea. The furnishings in the room were spartan and the only chairs were collapsible camping chairs. If I had known that breakfast was not provided I would not have stayed there!

This propert is a flat or apartment located on the seventh floor. My room was on the corner of this large apt. My room has sliding door windows and balconies. I must mention that the furniture was very basic. Chairss must be handle with care. The room has a refrigerator, wine cooler and bottle opener, but no glasses or basic utensils. Traffic noise at night is minimal.

Convenient location to everything (Piazza Maggiore, Bologna Centrale). Mario is very helpful and accommodating. Area is busy, and noisy at times, so not a sleepy part of the city, but everything is a 10-15 minute walk.

Pleasant guest house

Easier to find than I thought and Mario was easy to get in touch with prior to arrival. Room felt safe and secure. Bed was comfy and the fridge was useful. Shared bathrooms but always clean and always at least one available. Pleasant homely feel despite being obviously in the middle of the city. Would recommend for a short stay.

Ok, i was confused. I thought this was a hotel. Its not When i got to the propery it says B&B. Its not because its a basic room only. Good location close to railway station and town center. Located on a very busy road so even with the windows closed its noisy, which I didnt like. Owner is helpful and made cappuchino which was very nice. Bathroom was shared but kept spotless.

This isn't a regular hotel but a group of rooms on the 7th floor of a building, with 2 shared bathrooms and a lounge. My room was large, included a fridge, and was nice enough. Marco, the proprietor, was friendly and let me leave bags there on the departure day. The location was good -- walking distance from the train station and fairly close to the historical centre. Overall, fully satisfactory and good value (as long as one doesn't require a private bath).

Great location at a reasonable price

Very comfortable apartment with large spacious rooms and very clean communal bathrooms. For us one improvement would be a hot breakfast of fresh food, rather than packaged croissants. But we had a very nice stay at this place!

Good place for a quick overnight in Bologna

Bologna Center is a great place to stay for a quick stop in the city. Located directly between the city center and the central train station, it is perfect for a stopover with quick access to further travel by train or to the airport. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and the rooms are large in an old building in a good neighborhood. The only downside was that you can hear quite easily between the different rooms, and through the sliding door (it is an older building, so to be expected). Otherwise, can be recommended for a stay in the great city of Bologna!

Not so great for the price charged

The host was very welcoming but the room was very basic, furthermore since the building was historical the sound insolation in the windows was non-existing. I didn't get to sleep at all. You could hear street and people all the way up to 3am which is most unpleasant. Shared bathrooms were clean but there was no water pressure in the shower. Dropping show is not what you want at the end of the day.

Nice b&b, no heating

This b&b is located in a renovated apartment, rooms and bathrooms(shared) are nice. You get the breakfast brought into your room and it's nothing special, but ok. Its located about 10 mins on food from the train station and the main square, good location. It was not a good stay, however. We were staying there in october and the heating of the building was not working, they have no other way of heating and the windows are terribly isolated. Therefore, there were about 15•C in the room, which made it really unconfortable to spend any time there. Extra blanket was provided though, so sleeping was not that bad, apart from the rather loud traffic (bad isolation again). I'm sorry I had to write this, because it could have been a great place to stay, but due to low temperatures it really wasn't.
