This hotel exceeded my expectations given previous Expedia ratings. The staff are not that friendly and the hotel corridors and reception are very dated but my room was spacious, incredibly clean and in a superb location. Highly recommend booking this as a cost-effective base in Bologna.

We had a lovely room with a balcony. It was really more of a suite and suited our group of three singles traveling together. Our room was large, with plenty of space to spread out. The staff was great.

Cozy room with wood floor and classic wood decor and 1970 ish tech panels. Room in 1st floor was generally quiet and spacious. Room is clean daily by staff, but did notice a thin coat of dust on some old panels. Bathroom is spacious with a separate bidet and small shower stand. Bus stops, supermarkets, and some restaurants are within walking distances . Price is reasonable $60-$70/night.

Rooms and place is old, needs to upgrade. The construction in front of the hotel is very inconvenient. Good thing we had parking space at no charge.

Helpful staff and decent on-site parking area. The parking area and the streets surrounding the hotel are a little narrow, as is typical of Bologna, but can successfully accommodate at least a mid-sized SUV. The room itself was very spacious and had plenty of surfaces for use and storage. Lots of amenities and lots of windows that can let in natural light (with adjustable blinds). We would've liked to be able to adjust the shower water to be hotter, but had no issue with the sink/wash basin tap. The beds were very large and comfortable. Very reasonably priced breakfast. There are also several small sit-down and take-out restaurants within walking distance, as well as a couple small grocery stores. Around an hour's drive away from the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari, though it will take longer during the race weekend due to traffic. Also within walking distance of the train station and multiple bus stops. We enjoyed our stay, and the extremely spacious room was definitely a big highlight!

The staff were friendly and the room was clean. The shower head holder was broken this was reported to staff but it was not fixed for our stay. The breakfast was not worth 8 euros. It was a choice of cold bacon and cold scrambled eggs. Toast. A cold boiled egg.The coffee machine was broken. Plus a continental breakfast. As you walk into the hotel it is very dark wood as it is a retro hotel but looks very old. There is no evening meal availability as the restaurant is closed.
