My stay at the hotel was an overall pleasant experience. The rooms were gorgeously appointed and spacious, with enough room for an extra bed for my son during his two-night stay. The service was top-notch, with helpful and kind staff who were attentive to all our needs. The location was convenient, central to major attractions in the city. However, the dining experience fell short with a limited selection compared to other hotels I've visited.

The location in historical Bologna, near Piazza Maggiore, was excellent for exploring the main tourist attractions. The dining experience offered a wide selection of fresh foods in a gorgeous setting.
