“Loved having a bathtub”
Right across the street from the train station. Very clean hotel and loved that it had a bathtub. This hotel may be in a very busy location but it was with a great view and actually had two windows which I have never seen before which made it so quiet. We paid extra for breakfast which was 15E ea… more

“All good except the noisy air con”
A highly professional establishement at a very convenient location. Our room was spacious (including the shower) and all seem to be modern and up to date. There was a little bit sound from the corridor, but not from rooms nextdoor. The air condition was very noisy so we switched off and kept the wi… more

“Perfect location in Bologna!”
This is a very nice hotel and I would have given it 5 stars except for 2 reasons. First, the good stuff. You can't beat this location if you are staying in Bologna or traveling on a series of day trips to Florence, Venice, Modena, etc. The train station is directly across the street. I thought … more

“Close to station.”
Very convenient location for the train station and tourist bus. A distance to old Bologna but as we had two day hop on hop off bus ticket that was fine. A nice breakfast. Consistent WiFi. The reception staff seemed inexperienced, rushed and unable to understand requests. We should have had slippers… more

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
