10/10 Exceptional

Stayed here since it's near where our daughter is living while studying in Bologna. Very cute - an old convent converted into a hotel. Rooms were decent sized and the breakfast was good. A little walk to the Piazza Maggiore, but there are businesses close to the hotel - a supermarket right next door.

10/10 Exceptional

Small but delightful hotel in Bologna with easy access both on foot and public transport to centre. Very comfortable rooms, good bathrooms, and attractive public areas. Very good breakfast, and very helpful staff.

6/10 Good

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.
Melissa, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Eduardo, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Selina, 2-night trip

Decent stay

It is a decent hotel. I miss hotels walking you to the room and explaining things to you; as to how the A/C works, light switches and if there is a safe. Also, someone should show the breakfast room.

It was about a 20-minute walk to the center of Bologna. Breakfast was good. The room and bathroom were very spacious.
Ileana, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The room arrangement, an upstairs and downstairs, was inconvenient, dangerous with all the glass railings and doors and not a comfortable stay. The staff was good, breakfast good.
Virginia, 2-night trip

Gorgeous

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

10/10 Exceptional

The receptionists were very helpful. Something went wrong with the lift but when we came back all our luggages were already in our rooms. Gave us map and recommended some good restaurants. Very accommodating. Not so near from the city center but walkable.

Write up says there was a bar but it was only coffee offered Not in a great location.
Darlene, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Booked it because it advertised spa facilities but these did not exist
Gillian, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Caroline, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel, friendly staff

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.
Mona, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Although the staff might have tried the best service, the hotel is not a four-star by far. From four days we were there, 2 we had NO water and the hotel was unable to find a solution. At the end we left before we planned. The staff didn't seem to care about IT MUCH. The website announces a buffet for breakfast: we were told it wasn't offered since 2 years ago. Instead, we got a very pool quality breakfast meal on a plate and we could not ask for any extras! I will call for full repayment and compensation. Location is not great neither Don't go!
Marta, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Never again (Suite is a scam)

I stayed there 10 days last year and planned to be back in bologna often. This is my first bad review. With metal implants in my leg, I picked the Suite because of the spa tub for pain. But it doesn’t work, the owner talked to my boyfriend and told him he should get it fixed. The cold water leaks and we had to tighten the base at the tiles to get it to stop. I took a movie, showed the front desk, no one would come check and he promised a new room the next day. They kept asking about the parking when we were in the municipal spaces. He layed on the lobby couch all night screaming. I could hear him from the room at 4 am. I asked him for a blanket and he said we had a duvet cover (which had a sheet inside it) and said turn up the heat if you’re cold. He also said to circle one choice for breakfast so I got 3 slices of old mortadella , what a change from last year. The stairs are steep with dirty carpet the entrance room is just a plastic couch so if you want anything it’s 3 flights up and down. They said yes to switching rooms twice. We packed everything and put it by the door. I returned the boy was there and said no, threatened me with charges if I kept asking bc my stupid bf smoked a cig. the maid checked the tub it was perfect (the maid is a plumber). I begged for any room without stairs and said I’ll pay for the suite np. I said talk to me, bc they kept only addressing my bf, “you don’t speak Italian”(The boy didn’t either or English!)
