    Beautiful, clean and friendly. Rooms were spacious. Directly across from the train station - quality was completely unexpected for 2 lost travelers late at night so close to trains and for the price. It was amazing.

    Clean, quiet considering the location right across the central train station. Breakfast was possibly better than average. Room was comfortable with a nice view of Bologna.
