The room, a small suite, was quite charming, combining traditional Italian style and modern functionality. Floor to ceiling windows looked out on the plaza, cushioned the noise and blackout drapes and comfy bedding made for a good nights sleep. The staff was outstanding, friendly and helpful. Breakfast most tasty. We are an older couple who have stayed here multiple times and undoubtedly will stay again when in Bologna.
