5.8/10
The hotel is situated in a local area that's a bit away from the main city, but at this price level, it's not a major issue. The rooms are quite small, making it a challenge to move around with limited space, and no phone provided caused some inconvenience. However, it does have air conditioning which allowed a choice in using it during a stay in February. The location offers a variety of cafes, shops, and pizza places, with a short walk to the Bologna metro and nice restaurants nearby for an evening meal.

The rooms are tiny, making it difficult to even open a suitcase without using the bed for extra space.
Service
5.0
The service was average overall. The staff, aside from the lovely lady at reception, seemed a bit unfriendly and not welcoming.
Location
7.0
The location is decent, with cafes, shops, and pizza places nearby, along with easy access to the metro and nice restaurants for dining options.
Dining
5.0
The breakfast provided was basic, with some disappointing options like cheese slices and cheap hotdog sausages. However, the timing from 7 am to 10 am allowed for a relaxed morning meal.
Facilities
5.0
Facilities were limited, and some aspects like the water tap being stuck with limescale were not ideal.
