Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, which may be tight for late arrivals.
  • Early check-out time — Guests must check out by 10:00, which might feel early for those wanting a leisurely morning.
  • Potential for street noise — While one review notes the apartment is calm at night, the central location could mean noise for some guests.
  • Price may be higher than average — With a starting price of £16 per night, this is a budget option, but guests expecting luxurious extras might find the basics sufficient rather than extravagant.

The apartment itself was immaculate, with attention to detail and little touches of luxury. The bed was comfortable, and I had a peaceful night's sleep. The hosts, Paolo and Marcella, were helpful and always available to answer any questions and provide recommendations. They even stocked the fridge with water, milk, and other provisions, a nice touch. I highly recommend this apartment for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Bologna.”
