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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!)
