The hotel room on the 8th floor was quite spacious with a massive bathroom, offering a comfortable and quiet stay. It needed a little attention for wear and tear and could benefit from some additional color to enhance its appearance. The service was beyond friendly, with helpful and accommodating staff who even went the extra mile to communicate in our native language, Bulgarian. The location was ideal, making it easy to reach the center of Bologna, although the lack of good restaurants nearby could be a drawback for those wanting a quick dinner. The dining experience provided a good selection of continental and English breakfast options with delicious coffee. The facilities were satisfactory, offering everything needed for a pleasant stay.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and warm with extra pillows, but cleanliness and renovations were lacking. The Wi-Fi was a letdown, and the facilities did not live up to a 4-star standard. On the bright side, it turned out to be more of a studio setup than expected.
