UNA Hotels Bologna Centro

10/10 Excellent
"Very clean and comfortable rooms, really enjoyed our stay. Literally across the street from Bologna Centrale, and the walk into the city centre is not bad, 20 mins or so. Outdoor seating area is quite nice. Only noise you hear is the occasional honk from the street, but overall very quiet. Convenient and comfortable, absolutely would stay again."
