    Very good location, close to everything, and nice front desk people, eager to help and answer all our questions. We could drop off our luggage both before check in and after check out, overall I highly recommend

    Great location (opposite the train station and in 10 min walk to the central part of Bologna and basically 10-15 euro by taxi everywhere), 20 euro by taxi to the airport or 10 euro by train. Nice lobby, big room with comfortable bed, big bathroom...

    The rooms were nice and spacious, better than I expected. We were quite happy with the location as it was right opposite the station and very easy to get around. Very friendly staff.
