Advertised as 4 star hotel with a bar. No bar facilities and not what I would expect of a 4 star hotel. Booked a suite which was a room with mezzanine level with a desk. Breakfast advertised as being on a terrace but in fact mezzanine above reception area. Staff were helpful and pleasant but the hotel was not staffed 24 hours. Had to ask for air con control and the room was very basic for the price charged.

The hotel is in an old convent. I had a ground floor room with very high ceilings and dramatic lighting. The appeared to be a window high near the ceiling, so it could not be opened for fresh air. The room had a mini split, but it was malfunctioning and didn’t always work. A staff member checked the controls and everything was set correctly. It was a mystery. The room got quite stuffy with out the fan or AC working. The was also an on/off rather bad odor from the bathroom drains. Overall though, a very pleasant stay.

El servicio y la calidad del personal es excelente, pero el hotel es viejo y adolece de mantenimiento. La persona encargada del Aseo, te saca de la habitación, porque tiene que hacer la limpieza, porque debe irse. Y cuando entra si es la habitación, ni siquiera extiende bien la cama, no desocupa, papeleras, etc. el agua de la ducha se sale todo el tiempo e inunda al baño en la habitación. La repararon y aún así sigue igual. El aire acondicionado es fatal y va de no servir a congelar el hotel. Necesita un mantenimiento general. Muy costoso para lo que ofrecen.

È sempre piacevole soggiornare in questo hotel però ultimamente lo stanno trascurando un po' troppo ed è un vero peccato. Ad esempio per questa volta avevamo una splendida suite al piano Terra addirittura con due bagni però il bagno al piano di sotto non funzionava lo scarico del wc ed il bagno al piano di sopra aveva la vasca idromassaggio in condizioni pessime. Ruggine, calcare e muffa nelle bocchette e nello scarico. Peccato perché per ambienti, posizione e cortesia del personale andrebbe valorizzato e manutenuto sicuramente molto meglio.

We had a great stay and the reception team were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is about a 10 mins walk from the historic square and has a good number of restaurants nearby, which were reasonably price and great food. Our room was on the first floor overlooking the street and was very comfortable, although the chairs were a bit tired and the cleaning could have been better. The breakfast was very good and went through until 10.30, plenty of choice. If you want to stay within the walled city we would recommend this hotel as you can get to all the places very easily.

Alle Angestellten waren nett und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer im 1. Stock war sehr sauber und schön gestaltet. Das Badezimmer sehr schön mit Mosaikfliesen gestaltet. Ich war eine Nacht im Erdgeschoss, das Zimmer war, aufgrund der Deckenhöhe, beeindruckend, aber das Badezimmer benötigte, meiner Meinung nach, eine Modernisierung.

Appreciate that it is a very old building and very unique but better soundproofing is needed. No excuse for poor quality towels and bedsheets or toilet paper. If you're going to provide toiletries, you need to provide more than just 4 bottles of shampoo.

El hotel está en un edificio antiguo, la recepción está muy bien conservada, con el estilo de una casona, conservando algunos frescos en la paredes, y partes de un trampantojo. Pero, la habitación, no es que conserve un estilo antiguo, es que da la sensación de ser la pensión donde me quedé por primera vez en Melilla por trabajo hace 25 años. Yo entiendo que la estetica en los hoteles en Italia no se cuida, pero esto es un hotel de 4 estrellas siendo el máximo 5, esa es la escala, y esta habitación no lo representa.

Das kleine Hotel liegt am Rande der Altstadt, deren historische Gebäude alle fußläufig erreichbar sind. Das Hotel in einem alten herrschaftlichen Gebäude hat nur wenige Zimmer, wir hatten eine Suite über zwei Etagen mit zwei großen Bädern, die man einfach nur als "außergewöhnlich" bezeichnen kann: Unten Wohnbereich mit begehbarem Kleiderschrank, kleinem Kühlschrank und Safe sowie größem Bad mit Dusche. Oben (über eine verglaste Treppe) Schlafbereich mit weiterem großen Bad mit Whirlpoolbadewanne, die aber nur als normale Wanne funktionierte. Einziges kleines Manko: Derzeit wird das Frühstück nur aufs Zimmer serviert und man muss sich vorher festlegen, was man haben will und wann es serviert werden soll. Die Auswahl und die Qualität des Frühstücks war eher bescheiden, aber das ist in Italien häufiger so.

We had a very pleasant stay at Il Convento dei Fiori di Seta in Bologna. Staff was very kind and eager to help, our room was clean and large, breakfast standed out in our travels, with best and wide buffet and best service. The only potential issue was the hotel location, which is about 20 minutes from the city center. but that was not a problem for us.

Gorgeous place decorated with such taste. Good in room amenities and breakfast included. Very good price and top location. Quiet side street, but with cool eating and drinking places along, and about 10 mins walk from the center. About half hour walk from train station. Lovely staff. This will be my go to place next time I visit Bologna

We had a great stay and the reception team were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is about a 10 mins walk from the historic square and has a good number of restaurants nearby, which were reasonably price and great food. Our room was on the first floor overlooking the street and was very comfortable, although the chairs were a bit tired and the cleaning could have been better. The breakfast was very good and went through until 10.30, plenty of choice. If you want to stay within the walled city we would recommend this hotel as you can get to all the places very easily.

The hotel itself is very charming, and the staff is super nice, they make an effort to give a good service to guests. However, we experienced noise (loud footsteps) coming from upstairs early morning and late nights. Also, shower pressure was very weak so shower wasn’t super comfortable. Breakfast lacks some options. Location is great, walking distance to downtown.

This was a very cool boutique hotel, with a very helpful and kind staff. From check-in, to local recommendations, to room and restaurant service, everything was wonderful. Our highlight of the stay was the complimentary breakfast, much detail was put into it and all of the options were very tasty.

Lovely hotel in great location. Rooms on the front were noisy at night if you want to open the window but the air-conditioning means you can close it. Local eating good.

Front desk lady was amazing, friendly, and super helpful. She made our experience so much better. The property should NOT be 4 star. It should honestly be an economy property or 2.5 stars. Again - front desk lady was great.

We stayed in a deluxe suite- 2 levels and THE largest 2 bathrooms we have ever seen in our European travels. We were able to check in early after a long hot walk from the train station which was greatly appreciated. Front desk staff was super helpful with many tips on places to visit, eat, and drink. Plus they were always there to help ( couldn’t unlock our door). Main part of our room was upstairs with a comfortable bed, huge bathroom and a long shelf like table overlooking the downstairs. Lots of amenities in the bathrooms. Small fridge stocked with a few beverages. Shag carpet going up the stairs. Breakfast buffet was very good with lots of options.
