The rooms were high quality and the blinds for the bed were good. Could have done with bigger lockers. There is often a wait for bathrooms. Would be good idea to have toilet separate from showers so you don’t have to wait for people to finish showering for the loo. The staff were ok but their advice wasn’t great they just sent you to the most popular restaurants that every tourist goes too. It would be nice to be asked if wanted map or information too. Bigger sign if possible outside would also help as in the evening might be hard to find as even in the day I walked past.

Thanks for your suggestion and your review. About the map we try to now waste paper, so if you ask for a map we'll give it to you for free and with pleasure but we don't offer you a map because we are pretty sure that it would bring to a wasting of maps not used. About suggestion we don't agreem we just give suggestion about the best restaurant of the area that we personally already tried and that 99% of our guests enjoy. In any case is really hard to find bad restaurant in Bologna. About the big sign we cannot put bigger sign because of the building rules, otherwise we would for sure. About the bathroom unfortunately we cannot build more bathroon because we have not space to but with our suggestion about the use you can avoid the queue. Hope to see you soon. Best
