Could do with a better choise at breakfast. Coffee was nice but food was poor. Also ask your cleaners to move the beds when they do their cleaning.

The instructions about how to get to the hotel from the station are not very helpful. You need to cross the road in front of the station, turn left and walk down to the next major junction. Then turn right up that street. It is quite a distance with luggage. Otherwise I thought it was very good and good value.

Very nice and clean hotel located near the center. Unfortunately there is a bar next door with outside seating and people were very loud late into the night. The hotel people never asked them to quiet down.

Needed to change room to one at the back away from the street because windows are not soundproofed. They were very kind people at reception & it was all in all a good place to stay close to where we wished to visit.

Excelent localization. There is a public parking behind the hotel.

We had a triple room which was clearly a smokers room and smelt of stale cigerettes which was disgusting. The rooms could have been far cleaner generally but the smoke did not help. Reception had an awful musty smell and was totally unwelcoming. We were only in Bologna for 2 days and really, the hotel let us down.

Not a bad hotel, but it's clearly seen better days. The communal areas appear to be in a better state of maintenance than the rooms and corridors which looked a little tatty in comparison to most of the places we've stayed in Italy. Not having visited Bologna before I didn't get a great sense of the location from the map on the website. The circle seems to be centred on the station area and not the old town/basillica square - which is surely the heart of Bologna? However that does make the location a convenient compromise if you're arriving by train. It's a relatively short walk from the station and then a little closer still to that historic square, just at the top of the street the hotel is situated on. The Italian breakfast was pretty good - with plenty on offer to help yourself to. We found dining in this city nicknamed 'the fat' slightly disappointing, but that's possibly because - as in most places in Italy - during August many places are shut, which possibly made the place seem a little less vibrant than it is at other times of the year. Bologna's medieval buildings and miles of terraced arcades are wonderful for all that.

This survey reflects our second stay. We had a very large room that was very quiet. The staff are very friendly and helpful. While they speak English, they were quite tolerant of my Italian.

The desk and colazione staff were great. Location was excellent being close to the train station. Nice shady area in front for caffe and drinks. We were there on two separate weeks and had two rooms: the first was on Indepenza and was noisy but the second was in the back and very quiet. Air conditioning could have been more effective, but it was very hot outside. We would stay there again.

Rooms are small and not especially comfortable. Showers are tiny. Service was very uneven. The hotel is located a few blocks from the old main square on a very commercial street. Overall the hotel was "okay" but nothing to write home about.
USA, May 2008
It was in a great location for walking to various sites and shopping. Easy to reach from the train station! The hotel was suitable for our needs. The shower was very small. The hotel staff didn't go out of their way to help us in any way as we experienced in all the other hotels in Italy. They weren't rude though just not as friendly and helpful.
Spain, May 2008
La habitación triple era un poco escasa, y la ducha del baño diminuta y sin manguera de ducha, la movilidad muy reducida, casi no cabe. Pero el hotel en general es una monada, las zonas comunes con muy buen gusto, el desayuno exquisito y el servicio excelente. La ubicación inmejorable

Great location - right in the heart of Bologna. The hotel was lovely and warm. We had a super breakfast served in our room. We usually stay at Tre Vecchi hotel located just next door - same hotel group but 4 star - the only difference is the price Regina is €83 and Tre Vecchi €130.00! Only downside is that we requested twin room in our booking but there was none available when we arrived. Also a few things in the room not working - side table and wardrobe door. Note car parks costs €20.00 for the night.

Very comfortable business hotel within easy walking distance (10 minutes) with luggage from train station. Also 10 minutes from city center. Just off a busy main street but surrounded by excellent, reasonably priced restaurants and just a few blocks from the more local student areas. Excellent breakfast with fresh juices, fruit, meats and cheese, pastries, and coffee by order.

This was the first time that I stayed in Bologna. Whenever I will be back in this town I will visit the same hotel again Personnel was very friendly and accomodating. The room was not very big but adequate. The place is reasonably priced and situated at walking distance from the railway station. From there also the shuttle bus for the airport goes to and fro.

la nostra esperienza è stata molto soddisfacente. quando siamo arrivati la stanza non era ancora pronta perchè la stavano pulendo ma non abbiamo avuto disagi perchè era ora di pranzo e siamo andati a mangiare; quando siamo tornati era pronta. per il resto non abbiamo avuto alcun problema; colazione abbondante e molto varia. la posizione dell'albergo poi è ottima per girare la città, proprio sulla strada principale.se dovessimo tornare a bologna sicuramente torneremmo in questo albergo.

I often stay in this hotel on many business trips to Bologna. Some rooms are a little small. The only major disappointment for business traveller is the lack of Internet access.

Ideally situated between the station and the main square. A little noisy outside the hotel at night due to students celebrating the exam results but certainly not enough to spoil an enjoyable stay. We would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Bologna.

A disappointing return visit to this hotel: very small single room with no natural light. The location of the hotel is good - an easy 10 min walk to the main square or the railway station, and handy for the airport bus - but it was overpriced for the quality of the accommodation offered.

Others have noted the size of the showers -- yes, they were small (think of showering in a phone booth), but we found the water pressure excellent, and the creativity of solving a space issue great. The hotel was located in a great area, and extremely quiet despite the market right outside on Friday and Saturdays. The staff was very friendly and courteous.

This was a very nice hotel and very close to the train station and restaurants. If you want to be located right downtown this is a good choice and staff is very nice. There is a Brassarie right downstairs and in the AM can get coffee and danish, and in the afternoon wine or cocktails. We are also very impressed with this website and will recommend to others. We used your referrals and booked reservations at 4 different locations during our 3 week travels in Europe. Thank you so much! D. and P. Michalski- Orange County, CA USA
