Guest Reviews
- Colin (10/5): Excellent location and very good communication with the host -
- Anita (8/5): - Nette B&B, goede locatie. En fijne host.
- Mihai (10/5): Great place! - Great Place, easy to access from railway station, clean and safe!
- Melani (10/5): - Die Lage der Unterkunft ist perfekt.
Sehr sauber. Antonio ist es super Gastgeber und er hat sogar Kleinigkeiten zum frühstücken vorbereitet. Wir kommen sehr gern wieder.
- Sergei (10/5): - Замечательные апартаменты недалеко от вокзала. Чисто, даже в подъезде. Рядом несколько магазинов. В квартире свежий ремонт, все работает. Приятный бонус в виде йогуртов и сдобы.
Благодарен Антонио за мелочи, которые указывают на профессиональное отношение к работе. На стене висит карта города, подробно написано как пользоваться кофемашиной. Древний узкий лифт, но это не претензии к хозяину квартиры.
- Isabelle (9/5): - Location top.. Proche toutes commodités
Gare, centre d intérêts
Location prope, lumineuse
- JAROSLAW (10/5): Bardzo zadowolony z pobytu. - Super lokalizacja. Lokalizacja pokoi zapewnia prywatność. Do dworca kolejowego 15 minut na pieszo, co w naszym przypadku było komfortowe - codziennie korzystaliśmy z podróży koleją po Włoszech. Podobna odległość do historycznego centrum Bolonii, jednak z uwagi na atmosferę panującą na prowadzących do niego uliczkach wydaje się być bliżej, chociaż nie jest. Gospodarz Antonio to uczynny, pomocny i bardzo miły człowiek. Już zapowiedziałem, że wrócimy. Trudno szukać. Jeśli były minusy to tylko dodatnie ;)
- Ramona (9/5): Good accommodation for a visit to Bologna - Excellent location, close to the train station, but also to the center. Equipped with absolutely everything you need. I really appreciated the attention to detail and the fact that Antonio provided us with drinks and breakfast (yogurts, cakes, muffins...). The bed was very comfortable, however the pillows are "tired", they are very low and having cervical problems I couldn't rest very well. Even though I found it clean, there was an old smell in the rooms. Despite this we felt good and if we come back to Bologna, we will definitely choose to come here again.
- Giuseppe (10/5): - Ci ha soggiornato mio fratello con la compagna dopo una mia prenotazione e ne sono rimasti molto contenti. Il proprietario è stato super gentile e disponibile, la stanza era molto pulita e lasciare la disponibilità di caffè, dolciumi vari e bibite nel frigo non è da tutti e dimostra l'attenzione del proprietario nei confronti degli ospiti. Consigliatissimo. Tutto perfetto!
- Rafał (9/5): - Super kontakt z właścicielem. Dobra lokalizacja. Czysto i wszystko co potrzeba. Dość głośno, słabe wyciszenie.
- Paul (9/5): -
- Jarosław (10/5): Wycieczka do powtórzenia , z pewnością . - Apartament jest zlokalizowany w takim miejscu ,że wszędzie , myślę o najważniejszych punktach miasta, było blisko . Dzielnica spokojna .Poruszaliśmy się tylko pieszo , nie było potrzeby inaczej . Gospodarz pomocny uprzejmy kontaktowy .
Miasto jest zaskakujące - jeśli pozwolisz by ktoś Ci o nim opowiedział . Warto posłuchać . Podobało mi się Centrum Informacji , które potrafi doskonale zorganizować zwiedzanie miasta . Czy można coś poprawić, z pewnością . Ale jedno jest pewne '' lepsze jest wrogiem dobrego ''

- Fernando (10/5): - La habitación estaba genial y nos obsequiaron con café, zumos y dulces, todo un detalle. Antonio fue muy amable.
- boyka (10/5): Excellent - Excellent location, close to all the sights and the central station. Clean, warm, cozy, everything was incredible. But the best thing was the host Antonio - responsive, helpful and attentive.
- BABUR (10/5): Close to everywhere, kind personnel to give a lot of local recommendations, clean and useful rooms. - Close to everywhere, kind personnel to give a lot of local recommendations, clean and useful rooms.
- Francesco Saverio Felice (10/5): Bel weekend in quel di Bologna. - Stanza molto ampia e bagno con box doccia grande, il tutto ristrutturato di recente e perfettamente funzionante.
Antonio, il padrone di casa, si è dimostrato disponibile attento e premuroso. È andato tutto bene, non ho nulla da segnalare.
- Ирина (9/5): Все было великолепно - Прекрасные аппартаменты. Чистый, комфортный номер . Удобное месторасположение: до всего можно быстро дойти пешком. Отдельное спасибо Антонио. Замечательный и внимательный, готовый помочь в сложной ситуации. Было приятно, что после дороги было чем перекусить в номере.
- Aliaksandr (10/5): - Все было нормально.
- Anna (8/5): -
- Emanuele De Nigris (10/5): -
- Marat (7/5): Das war ok - Die Lage Keine Tassen für Kaffe und Tee
- milonga (10/5): Caring host. - Location, comfortable bed and bedding, great water pressure, very clean and all necessities a traveler needs. Caring host. None
- Francesca (10/5): - Ottima posizione, ottima qualità prezzo, pulizia top. Antonio persona squisita! Consigliatissimo.
- Burak (10/5): - They were very hospitable and helped with everything. The room was spacious and comfortable. Easy to reach
- Manuela Claudia (8/5): - Locatia este aproape de centru, de gara si de statiile de autobuz.
Antonio a fost o gazda foarte amabila. Ne-a intampinat cu cafea, ceai, apa, iaurturi si cornuri. Camera inchiriata se afla intr-un apartament, unde mai este inca o camera ce se ofera spre inchiriere. Ambele camere au bai private.Dezavantajul este ca nu stii cu cine imparti apartamentul. Noi am fost norocosi, nu a fost galagie.
205€/2nopti mi s-au parut cam multi pentru o camera si o baie.
- Ignazio (10/5): - Tutto molto bene , il proprietario Antonio è stato molto disponibile e cordiale Va bene cosi
- Rosa (10/5): - Camera confortevole, zona strategica a pochi minuti dal centro di Bologna e stazione centrale. Grazie per la cordialità di Antonio e per la sua disponibilità.
Consiglio altamente .
- Claudia (10/5): -
- matteo (10/5): Ottima soluzione in centro - Ottima posizione e facile check in.
Proprietario cortese e comunicazione perfetta Nulla
- Andrea (7/5): -
- Rosario (7/5): La ubicación y el anfitrión muy buena. - La ubicación fenomenal, la cama un poco pequeña y las almohadas no
muy cómodas. El anfitrión excelente. En la página no queda muy claro que el apartamento tenga cocina. Detalles de comida en la habitación, pero si no tienes para calentar leche, la cafetera no sirve de nada. La cama pequeña para dos personas.
- Nesci Concetta (6/5): - Antonio bravissimo 👏 Ma qualità prezzo buona
- Elena Livia (8/5): - The room is located in an apartment, in a block of flats close to the train station. It has its own bathroom and key, so completely independent. In a minifridge we had some yogurt and muffins for breakfast, as well as coffee and tea. The host was nice and explained everything in detail. Some signage on the building would help, we had a little trouble finding it.
- Francesca (10/5): Cordialità che fa la differenza - Posizione comoda tra la stazione ed il centro. Camera confortevole calda pulitissima e spaziosa. A disposizione il necessario per la colazione. Grazie mille ad Antonio per la disponibilità e i consigli. Nulla
- Giorgio (8/5): -
- CONCETTA (4/5): -
- Giulio Giannelli (9/5): - Host simpatico e disponibile. Grande disponibilità di spazio. Cucina ben attrezzata anche per soggiorno lunghi. Si potrebbero migliorare i cuscini aggiungendo anche un cuscino più grosso.
- Alfredo (8/5): Cozy, spacious and well-located apartment - Great location, the apartment was very spacious and quiet, with views towards the square and towards an inside courtyard, and there were supermarkets and restaurants very close. Antonio was super efficient and went the extra mile for supplies for breakfast which was mostly industrial but nice - we even got cake and a bottle of wine! Coffee capsules were excellent and for your cooking you had everything you needed there - I even read one of the short novels in his bookshelf! Thank you, Antonio! It wasn’t as clean as it should have been - the sheets and pillows smelled of body grease and some crockery which the dishwasher didn’t wash properly was put away in the cupboard altogether. For the price you’re paying this kind of thing shouldn’t be happening. Sheets and pillows should be washed at higher temperatures. There weren’t any extra pillows and we had to use the sofa cushions.
- Luca (10/5): Ottima per posizione, host, pulizia e dimensioni della stanza. Consigliata - Posizione comodissima, host gentilissimo e sempre disponibile, camera abbastanza grande, bagno rinnovato e comodo, molto apprezzati caffè e snack per colazione. Molto consigliata!
- katja (8/5): Einfach eingerichtet, aber mit allem, was man braucht. Gute Lage. -
- Nicola (8/5): -
- Sameer (9/5): A comfy Apartment to spend a few days in Bologna - 1. The host, Antonio, was very helpful and responsive. Since we stayed for 7 days, we asked for a light housekeeping service and change of towels' and he was more than happy to accomodate our request.
2. Location:
(i) The apartment is approximately a little over 15 minutes walk to the Piazza Maggiore and the city center. It is about 3 minutes walk to the central Bus Station (we used it to go to Madona Basilica) and about 10 minutes to the Central Bologna Train Station (used for day trip to Florence and Modena).
(ii) There are 2 supermarkets within 2-3 minutes walk from the apartment.
(iii) There are many local restaurants and bars near the apartment.
3. The Apartment:
(i) The apartment gets lot of light and is located in a quiet neighborhood. One can get a nice view of the historic church from the apartment
(ii) Antonio provided breakfast snacks, sweet treats, coffee and juice. The room also has an espresso machine and Antonio provided sufficient number of coffee pods / capsules for a week.
(iii) The air-conditioner was helpful during warm day and also to dry clothes
(iv) The Wi-Fi was great.
(v) The apartment is on the 4th floor and thankfully the building has an elevator (rather old but functional).
- Adriana (9/5): -
- Angelika (10/5): Great choice! - Great apartment! Antonio ist very helpful and always on reach ☺️ You have everything that you need to enjoy your stay in Bologna: coffe, snacks, water, tea and even some joghurts for breakfast 🥰 it’s not gonna be last time here for sure ☺️ Location is also great!
- Gabriel (9/5): Ideal para visitar la zona - El apartamento esta recién reformado, todo impecable y muy limpio. Muy bien situado, próximo a la estación de tren y del centro histórico de Bolonia. Antonio consigue que todo este a punto para sus clientes y muestra flexibilidad para adaptarse a sus necesidades. La fachada tiene grafitis que dan una idea equivoca del barrio, tranquilo y agradable.
- Celine (9/5): - Trés bien, confortable, tout confort Manque juste un grand miroir
- Fernando (10/5): -
- Maria (10/5): I highly recommend it! - Antonio was such a good host. He helped us with everything, we left the lugagge before & after our stay. He had also some little things for breakfast, and ofc coffee & tea. The room was really clean. Location was perfect, really near the city centre & Bologna Centrale. The bed & the pillow could be better, also the soundproof from the corridor could be better. In any case, these are not big deals. However, the price due to the standards of the city is cheap, but generally is a bit expensive for just a small room. But, i will say again that the host was so kind!!
- Mary Anne (8/5): Pleasant place to stay for one week. - It was surprisingly quiet for being about a 20 minute walk to the centre. A kettle to make tea and a couple of mugs and glasses instead of paper cups would have been nice.
- Nicola (10/5): - Alles super, Antonio ist total nett und professionell. Man wird von ihm empfangen und muss nicht per Code rein. Es ist mega sauber, neu, ruhig, schöner Ausblick auf eine Kirche und man ist fußläufig schnell im Zentrum und am Bahnhof. Auch gibt es ein paar Snacks, eine Kaffeemaschine, Kapseln und Wasserkocher und Tee.

Väldigt fräsch lägenhet som innehöll det vi behövde.
Jag skulle bo där igen om jag kommer tillbaka och rekommenderar det till alla som besöker Bologna. Gillade allt!
- Ahmed Abu Hanieh (10/5): -
- Heidi (10/5): Host simpaticissimo, tutto perfetto - Il dettaglio nella stanza (macchina di caffè, un dolcetto nel frigo;-))
- Sergio (10/5): Para sentirte como en casa - Cerca de la estación de trenes. También cómodo para desplazarse al centro. Antonio fue muy amable con la comunicación, pendiente de mi llegada a las 11:30 de la noche.. el metodo de entrada es self check in pero aun así Antonio estuvo pendiente. Me recomendó buenos restaurantes y me permitió dejar las maletas al check out. La habitación es espaciosa, el baño nuevo y amplio. Hay maquina de café exquisito y ponqués que se agradece mucho en la mañana. La ventanas permiten buena ventilación y luz. En conclusión, fue una excelente opción para alojarse en Bolonia. Super recomendado
- Louiza (10/5): Amazing B&B! Recommend it fully! - Close to the train station and to the university district. It was very spacious, had a lift and a spacious bathroom with the best water pressure I have ever had in a hotel! Bed was comfortable and there were good coffee facilities.
- Mateusz (10/5): Jestem bardzo zadowolony z pobytu w tym miejscu - Bardzo dobra lokalizacja - 10 minut pieszo do dworca kolejowego, około 15 minut do Piazza Maggiore.
Właściciel Antonio bardzo sympatyczny, przywitał mnie osobiście, a kontakt z nim był bezproblemowy i bardzo szybki, przygotował nawet ciasteczka ;)
Dużo przydatnych udogodnień w pokoju: ekspres do kawy na kapsułki, herbata, kubki, butelka wody, sztućce, lodówka, telewizor.
Klimatyzacja działała bardzo dobrze. -
- Massimo (8/5): -
- Thomas (10/5): Perfekt - Die Lage ist perfekt. Jeweils 10min zum Bahnhof und in die Altstadt. Der Besitzer Antonio super nett und gibt klasseTipps zum Essen. Ist auch immer erreichbar. Citytax pro Person / Nacht 4 Euro. Da gibt es nichts.
