Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Value is rated lower than other aspects — While the location and service earn high marks, the Value rating (7.7) suggests some guests find the price higher than the room experience warrants.
  • Simple, no-frills rooms — This is a 3-star property – rooms are clean and functional but not luxurious, and the breakfast is satisfactory rather than lavish.
  • Not all rooms have the views — While many reviewers enjoyed church or garden views, this is room-dependent; standard rooms may look onto the inner courtyard.

“Enjoyed Bologna – the hotel was bright and quiet, close to the Bologna train station. Satisfactory breakfasts with toasts, cheese, and sweets – everyone could try something new. The location was favourable and absolutely perfect, very close to great restaurants, shops, markets, and the remarkable Basilica of San Domenico. The property was 1 mile from Palazzo Grassi.”
