The room is very nice and the staff is very accommodating. The only issue is the area around the hotel can seem a bit sketchy, especially after dark.

The location is difficult to find, the listed phone numbers do not work and the process for gaining access to your room is super inconvenient. The location is close to the train station but is a bit of a seedy area. However….. the biggest issue is the staff. Or rather, the lack thereof. This place doesn’t have many rooms but it still takes them 2.5 hours to respond to WhatsApp messages. Also…. Only once you get there do you find out there isn’t really any luggage storage but they will hold it for you for €10 due to their inconvenience.
It’s like….. excuse me? Paying customers are now an inconvenience?
No Thankyou.
It’s a shame because the room itself is more than adequate, if a little noisy. Also, 2 coffee pods in a room that can accomodate 3 people for days, is at least 4 pods short. The owners are frugal and stingy and I’d recommend you stay elsewhere

Emphasis on apartment; not a hotel or Inn
This is not a hotel or an Inn. You are renting a room in someone’s 3 BDR apartment where you will be sharing a hallway that leads to your door. The room we had (#1) was modern and had an ensuite. But there is zero service; no lobby; no personal contact whatsoever.

First off, not an Inn- some private rooms in an apartment building. Be sure to arrange check-in ahead of time. Host was friendly but not at the 'inn'. Room was smallish, bathroom was nice, private and across the hall. Not a very inviting area of town but across from the regional bus station, not too far from train station. Not a pleasant night walk to the historic part of town. We chose it because of train proximity. Bed not US type king, more like a queen.

Like others have said, it was difficult to locate this property, because we were looking for a hotel, not a room in an apartment house. Once there, the owner did allow us to store our suitcases. The room is modern and clean and attractive with a window on a main Street. there are many street people in the area. It would’ve been good to have some mugs and some utensils. There are only very small plastic, espresso, cups and glasses. But there was a mini fridge and a one cup coffee maker.

It’s not a hotel. It is a room in a private flat
When ticking the ‘hotel only’ filter this property is shown as a hotel. It isn’t. It’s a room in a residential apartment. No front desk, no staff at any point in our stay just a WhatsApp message about how to let ourselves into their apartment.

Whilst staff were very helpful, the property wasn’t as described. It isn’t a Hotel or Inn, just a room in a residential block. Quite difficult to find - no exterior sign and only be peering through barred securely doors could we see a name which was similar ( amongst many plaques). There was nobody there for check in although we had arranged a time, but they came quickly when we contacted them. There is no luggage storage though that was advertised, but the owners were helpful and allowed us to leave bags when we queried this. Our room was clean and well appointed.

сложности заселения
Это не отель, апартаменты, ванная комната отдельно, со своим ключем), были сложности при заселении, на месте никого нет, нужно заранее созваниваться или списываться с хозяином. Эти трудности создали неприятное впечатление, остальное нормально - комната чистая, добираться удобно.

Walkable from the train station, bus station, and central Bologna. Impeccably clean, close to two delicious cafes and numerous eating spots - both sit down and take out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would absolutely stay here again.

Room was pleasant. Large with a nice bathroom. It was definitely more like an air B and B than a hotel. Took me by surprise since it was unlike anything I booked on Expedia before. Finding it and getting access had air B and B quirkiness.

No front desk that I could see. Couldn't use free airport shuttle because the proprietor didn't get up that early. No lounge or common area. No chair to sit in in the room. Bed frame uncomfortable. No obvious signage for the 'hotel'. I had to run the gauntlet of three locks to get in the room. No food available on site .
