+- The location is great. This is a big plus of the property. Also 15-20 minutes walk (very acceptable time) by Bologna centrale train station. - Hot water and very ok bathroom - Coffee machine & capsules in the room. It can be useful until you go to have a real breakfast in the city. - good restaurants near the location (like Trattoria Tony, Dal Brillo - very good sandwiches)
−Unfortunately, even though I’m not picky about accommodations and don’t usually give bad reviews, I can’t say I’d recommend this place. Of course, the price is good for the location, but before you choose it, you should keep the following in mind: 1. There’s no breakfast, even though it says there is (they offer a discount at a certain restaurant, but we didn’t go) 2. The rooms have old furniture but were fairly clean, and the towels were replaced. 3. Although there’s no face-to-face interaction, when we called the phone number provided in the details we received after booking on Booking.com, a very friendly person (not AI bot)answered and helped us when we had problems. 4. You can hear everything perfectly between rooms. Fortunately, we didn’t have so noisy neighbors. 5. Not so cosy accomodation. I understand that the owner was changed and maybe this is the reason why the common space looks like a storage room.

“Overpriced, dusty, outdated, and poorly managed; only the location was good”
+Location
−Unfortunately, a very disappointing experience. There was no personal contact whatsoever and no one available on-site to assist with any questions or problems. Access to the accommodation was entirely managed via mobile phone, making the whole experience impersonal and inconvenient. There was no signage in the building to indicate where the accommodation was located, and it was difficult to identify the entrance. The entrance area itself looked more like a storage room than a welcoming reception area. The room was very basic and poorly furnished, with dust on some of the furniture and several items that looked old and worn out. There was absolutely no sense of comfort or attention to detail. At €140 per night, without breakfast, the price is simply far too high for what is offered. The only real positive aspect is the location. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this accommodation. It seems that the management changed quite recently, which might explain the current situation. Hopefully, the new management will address these issues, because at the moment, the accommodation falls well short of expectations for this price.

“Not what we expected after the positive reviews.”
+Location is wonderful to explore Bologna
−A change of management from time of booking to our stay, meant that we did not get the warm and friendly property that we thought we had originally booked. That was one of the key reasons for us booking. The entrance and stairwell is dark and uninviting. Hard to see where you are going. Entry to the property is all online, via a website - you certainly would not want your phone to die or a power blackout. We tried to contact the property for days prior to our arrival and received no correspondence. We were concerned that if we did have problems with entering the property that it may be difficult to communicate any of our concerns. The property has kitchen facilities but no cooking utensils, crockery or even a knife or fork!! The communal area was full of boxes and cluttered with all sorts of items. The cleaner knocked on our door each morning to see if we needed anything but when asked how we turn the towel rack warmer on he said we needed to contact management. This property was our only disappointment in Italy.

“No breakfast, no hospitality, no human contact. Avoid.”
−I booked this property in April because of its excellent reviews, particularly the praise for the hostess and her breakfast, and the attractive, colourful photographs. By the time we arrived, management had changed and the experience bore little resemblance to what I had booked. There was no host, no reception, no human contact and, despite my booking confirmation explicitly stating “Breakfast included”, no breakfast whatsoever. Instead, we were required to complete a frustrating online check-in process, including uploading passport photographs, before receiving links on our phones to open three separate doors. Once inside the building, there was no signage indicating where to find the accommodation. Eventually we located it up a long staircase. Inside, there was packaging lying around, none of the welcoming decoration shown in the photographs, and an empty fridge. The most worrying aspect was the complete dependence on technology for access. On our final morning, our room and the neighbouring room suffered a power cut. Had we been outside, we could have been unable to get back in. What happens if your phone battery dies, you lose internet access or the electronic system fails? I r

“The room was clean and the location is good. Otherwise it was awful. Advice to others: stay elsewhere.”
+Not much at all. It was *not at all*conform with the a advertised facilities.
−(1) One electric socket hidden behind a very, very heavy bed frame. Insufficient sockets for electric appliances (cooler, coffee brewer, hot water cooker, etc) on the far side if the room (2) hall to room area resembled a construction site (3) unpleasant odor emanating from bathroom in the morning (loud hot water tank mounted on bathroom wall covered but a sheet of fabric (4) graffiti-smeared walls left and right of the building entrance doors. No effective sound insulation for adjacent room. Etc.

“Lost trust in Booking.com”
+Location is great, everything else felt like a scam.
−Space is tiny, smelly, and dirty. Hospitality is non-existent, and service was 100% lacking. Lights did not work, electricity jumped, shower was dirty, and I can go on.

+I stayed for just one night, but overall, it was a very good experience. The property is in a great location, clean, and well-organized. The room was spacious and comfortable. The check-in process is fully automated, making everything convenient and straightforward. Despite the automated setup, the staff were easily reachable via WhatsApp and were very helpful, responsive, and quick to resolve any issues.
−I wouldn't really consider these major issues, as they were minor inconveniences that were quickly resolved. I booked the room just 20 minutes before check-in, so I initially couldn't access it because I hadn't received the check-in instructions and access link yet. However, everything was sorted out within a few minutes. There was also a minor issue with the lighting, but the support team was very responsive on WhatsApp and guided me through resetting the circuit breaker, which resolved the problem.

“Hostel”
+DiebLage im Univiertel war gut
−Es gab in der Küche beim Eingang keine Töpfe, kein Besteck.Die alte Wohnung ist in Zimmer mit Bad unterteilt worden. Die Zwischentüren waren nicht gedämmt. Man fühlte sich wie in einem Hostel.
