This is perfect for those needing to get to the exhibition area, which is only a few kilometers away and well-connected by the numerous buses that depart from the train station.

Too expensive for what it offers. No breakfast, no reception. They open the door by phone. There are no lockers for valuables or to leave the suitcases after check-in. Basic Ikea furniture. There are no views.

The answer from the host:
Salve signora, noi come ben indicato siamo affittacamere e non Beb pertanto non è nostra competenza servire la colazione né tantomeno è indicata nei nostri servizi. E’ possibile tranquillamente lasciare i bagagli in deposito ma non prendiamo responsabilità per oggetti di valore come credo sia scontato in tipologie di strutture analoghe alla nostra. Il nostro prezzo è tra i più competitivi della zona ma quando sono presenti fiere importanti ovviamente c è un rincaro generale ovunque. Mi fa piacere che abbia apprezzato la pulizia e la posizione. Un Cordiale Saluto.

I stayed for two nights at this B&B to celebrate my birthday. We were looking for a cozy accommodation located in a convenient area to move around without transportation. Located in a strategic point (2 minutes from the station and 10 minutes from the center), it offers everything we needed. Clean, tidy, and bright rooms, nothing out of place. Delightful and helpful staff! A strong point of this B&B is the tranquility that reigns in the structure. Despite the other rooms being occupied, we didn’t hear any noise at all! Recommendation!

Very well soundproofed. Surely if we had to come back to Bologna we would return here. The owner Luca is very helpful and allowed us to leave the suitcase on the day of departure until the afternoon. To recommend.

The undisputed convenience of the structure lies in the fact of being a few meters from the station and the modest price. The rooms are essential, discreetly clean, but the big problem is the excrement grinding device (yes, really!) in the bathroom, emitting a sewer stench, as well as being very noisy every time the flush had to be pulled. We didn't understand the point of such a thing! We were disgusted by it. Unfortunately, we didn't see the manager anymore to talk to him about it. Fortunately, the torture only lasted one night. P.S. We didn't receive any payment receipt.

Spacious, bright, new room, quiet area. The bathroom is a bit small, without a bidet, but functional. Finally, I found a comfortable mattress and pillows, essential for me to rest. On the bed, a light and warm duvet (in the last experience in another B&B there were still heavy and ineffective wool blankets). Wi-Fi works as well as the TV. Great location for the train station and also for the city center which I always reached on foot. My stay was extended until 22/12. I really enjoyed it. I hope to find availability for the next time.

The structure is right in front of the station so we who had the concert at unipol found it great as a location. The area is served by bars and restaurants including kebabs if one wants to save money. As soon as we arrived, the manager answered us very kindly, explained the whole route to get to the room. Once upstairs, the cleanliness was excellent, being asthmatic, the rooms are new and clean. The next day the very kind manager also kept our bags and we managed to see Bologna which is worth it!
