Mister StephenThis hotel was handily situated close to the central railway station. There was a nice big lobby and lounge area to relax in after a day out. Staff were polite and helpful, especially Tommaso. The main street is just around the corner. The room was quite small but very comfortable and well-lit. I slept very well in a nice big bed with great mattress and pillows. The shower was great with lots of hot water and good pressure. Finally, the breakfast was superb. I recommend opting for breakfast when booking.

Guest UserThe 24-hour reception is super convenient, and they let you store your luggage for free beforehand. The staff are friendly and professional. There's an elevator, and the room was quite spacious with new amenities, making for a very comfortable stay. The kitchen is huge, with plenty of utensils and counter space available. It's located in a residential area, so you have to walk a bit to find shops, but it's not too far. Overall, it was a great stay; I was satisfied with everything.

The hotel was only a 15-20-minute walk from the train station. The rooms were much bigger than expected with a comfy couch (and blankets) and TV. There was also an Alexa set up and she played music when directed and was pleasant. The kitchenette had ample utensils and cookware, but no napkins or paper towels. They supplied cold water in a pitcher as well as several bottles of wine (NOT complementary, but reasonably priced. The prices on the list in the room differed from the prices at the front desk, tho.) The complementary slippers were used every day as the tile floors were chilly. There was always enough hot water in the showers, but one bathroom light was out the whole time we were there (reported it to the front desk on the first day and they said they already knew about it, but were waiting on maintenance to fix. We had to make due without it for the six days we were there.) There were instructions on how to use each of the appliances (much appreciated!). It was a short walk to restaurants and cafes and the shopping district. Great accommodations for the price point and lots of room.

WilliamIn the academically rich city of Bologna, this hostel far exceeded my expectations. The location is superb, within walking distance to the Old Town, the Two Towers, Piazza Maggiore, and the University of Bologna. It's also very convenient for reaching the central train station, making it perfect for city sightseeing and day trips to nearby Modena and Ravenna. The dorm rooms are clean and fresh, with each bunk bed featuring a privacy curtain, individual charging socket, and ample locker space. The communal bathrooms are well-maintained with stable and abundant hot water. The staff are warm and friendly, knowledgeable about local cuisine and attractions, and patiently recommend authentic restaurants and sightseeing routes. The common areas have a relaxed and lively atmosphere, where you can meet young backpackers from all over the world and share travel stories. The communal kitchen is well-equipped for simple cooking. Overall, it's safe, comfortable, and offers outstanding value for money. Whether for a short layover or an in-depth exploration of Bologna, it's an excellent base for backpackers. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Bologna. Highly recommended!

The “hotel” isn’t exactly a hotel. It’s in an apartment/residential building (1st floor from ground level - I’d call this the 2nd floor, but they would disagree here). I was a bit disappointed when I wanted to bring my bags a couple hours before check-in so I could walk around the city. Hotels are usually good about this; however, the “front desk person” for this “hotel” comes by appointment. Again, this isn’t a hotel, even though it’s advertised to be. I found out that you need to give them 48 hours notice if you plan to come by earlier (I didn’t see this information anywhere prior to check-in).
Overall, the space was clean, spacious and cool (the AC was the best part). The bathroom is modern and quite nice. The noise level was a bit much, as the room faces the street. Also, I had really hoped to use the laundry services (for additional charge) as shown on the Trip.com listing but again, I was told at check-in that I needed to give 48 hours notice for this, and that it’s not something they offer anyway. The front desk person told me there is a laundry mat near by (four minute walk, make sure to have coins).
I’m being completely transparent in this review, not to be a ****, but to be informative. I felt a bit misled, so please, if you have any special requests, make sure to share those with the front desk 48 HOURS BEFORE check-in. You can ring the doorbell (labeled “Casa Alessandrini”) outside the building all you want, but no one will come to let you in unless they are there. 👍

The hostel is about a 20-30 minute walk from the center. It's best to get a room at the back, as it's on a street. Overall, it's very clean. However, towels are not included in the price; they cost €7 for two. Bed linen is free, but the beds aren't made, unlike other hostels. A lockable locker is available; you can get a key on-site. Behind the building is a large parking lot, which is officially prohibited or subject to a fee. I parked there for two nights for free. There are also parking spaces on the street, but these are subject to a fee during the day.

Guest UserI guess it all depends on expectations - I booked it because it had really good recent reviews at the time but I was disappointed with the experience. The rooms look like they have been relatively recently renovated but because everything in the rooms is cheap and basic and there are marks and stains on the walls they appear tired. The style is basic functional so you should not expect much in terms of comfort or coziness. The hotel is poorly ventilated so there is smell in corridors and in the rooms. I changed a room because there was additional smell coming from the bathroom.

나튜나The water was fully charged at the minibar price. It is a hotel with an old-fashioned feel. You should take into account that there is no elevator. The breakfast area was clean and had a good atmosphere! The heating was good, so it was warm even though Bologna was cold.

SunnyChen9062This historic hotel is at least 50 years old with lovely vintage charm. Rooms are spacious, bright and spotlessly clean. Boasting an unbeatable central location in Bologna’s old town, it is surrounded by countless restaurants, plus an amazing gelato shop right next door. The only downside is mild street noise at night until late hours. Still, the fantastic location makes it great value for money. Breakfast is average with limited choices. Bologna is a charming city full of history and local life, and I would happily stay here again on my next visit to this city!
