We had an Apartment away from the hotel which was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Close to Piazza Maggiore and Quadrilatero area where there was some amazing food on offer. We visited the rooftop bar once, just a pity it was November as it looked lovely and perfect for a late drink in Spring or Summer.
Perfect boutique hotel, the staff ( every single one of them) were amazing, they were polite, eager to help and always smiling and laughing. The room was very well appointed, quiet and clean. The bar on the ground floor was very inviting and cozy. The bartenders were great and very friendly. Unfortunately the restaurant was booked solid (make sure to reserve in advance) and the rooftop terrace was closed (probably due to time of year). Hotel location was walking distance to most of the sights. We would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful room, centrally located, great staff, rooftop bar is an added bonus.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was spotless and the staff was very helpful and responsive. However, the room we had was not a 4-star quality. We stayed at the Junior Olive suite and while it was located in a beautiful outdoor setting, the room itself was very old and tired. In addition, the shower was in the bedroom with no frosted glass. So, when taking a shower, the other person relaxing in bed has a full frontal and side view. As I prefer having privacy when showering, this felt very weird.
Great hotel, the staff are friendly and helpful. The location couldn’t be better and the views from the rooftop bar are superb. Will definitely stay here again when I next visit Bologna
Tucked off the main street, this hotel is a fabulous place to stay. Really handy for all attractions and really centrally located. The staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean, spacious and cool in the heat. The staff in the rooftop bar were lovely and the cocktails were great too. Would recommend this hotel and I would definitely stay again.
Our apartment was spacious and the staff were very helpful, particularly when advising of local restaurants. The location is very central but also quiet. The breakfast is amazing with a huge choice which varies daily and is beautifully presented.
Very nice accommodation in walking distance of Piazza Maggiore, Basilica of San Stefano and other places of interest. Close to shopping and restaurants. We opted for breakfast which was excellent.
Our stay at this property was a pleasant surprise.
We stayed in their off-site apartment building which was perfect. Clean, comfy, and accompanied by great air-conditioning. We had a full kitchen which came in handy for leftovers that we folded together with some local wine.
The roof deck at the hotel is lovely. The cocktails and small plates were delicious and the staff was pleasant and very accommodating.
Parking (if you have a car) is a short walk and next to a fabulous coffee house (Mr. Coffee). The coffee house has several breakfast options to fuel your morning.
For the price point, If leverage this property again on the next venture to Bologna.
Extremely friendly and helpful nightportier upon late arrival. Room was perfectly clean bed very comfortable and the aircon was the most quiet and effective I have ever seen.
Nice hotel in a great location. Very friendly and service minded staff. Function of the breakfast setup is not that good. Food & Bevarage at the rooftop was nice.
