Bologna Bed and Breakfast

Do not come here! The rooms are dirty and musty. The furnitures are in bad condition. The window and the door in the room cannot be closed, which is really disturbing because of the noises outside during the night. There were also bugs in the beds that stung us. The owners are quite disorganised and one of them was really drunk. He was holding a beer the whole time and could barely walk down the stairs. The only good thing was the convenient location, but I would've rather paid 5€ more for a better accommodation, because it was really difficult to sleep here.

DO NOT GO HERE! These will be the very first words of a lenghty review mentioning all the inconviniences we suffered there. You get into bologna, you would expect something of a motel facity or something. Well, it is a private house and a private home built centuries ago with the only renovations made by painting the ugly walls. Random furniture is lying everywhere, often times half broken. You can guess they got it for free when someone threw it out. Now that you are quite disappointed with the first impression, you head to your coeducated room in the apartment. The room is in fact not a room, they use a 3 cm thick wooden wall as a space divider to seperate off areas, instead of a normal door they made a sliding door in that thin wall. When you try to close it, first you realise the doorhandle is broken half off, then you try to move the door with other techniques, only to discover it is stuck. Nice. We have a hostel with 2 6 man rooms with no doors. We also werent offered a safe or any lockable thing just in case (although a different guy was later on, but the hostess didnt even mention it to us) Back to the part where there is no thing to lock your belongings in. Apparently thats not the only thing you cannot lock in this house. When you try to close the 1 street facing window, because 1) italy is hot 2) its noisy outside you came to realise you CANNOT CLOSE THE WINDOW. It has no proper lock mechanism. Only an oldschool metal lock that is so tightly locking that there is a 3-4 cm gap between the window and the frame (hard to explain, look at attachments) Okay you cannot close the window, what wring can happen. Apparently in italy they clean their streets at night. From 11 pm till 2:30 am there was a running truck parked in front of the building, while someone used a HIGH PRESSURE WASHER to clean streets (yes at 2 am), once they finished we just could not sleep cuz the neighborhood is noisy anyways and window is still open. Furnitures no2. the bed was broken and amateurly stitched back together so practically nothing is holding it. Every furniture is so worn down it is way past normal standards. Finally customer service; we arrived a 3:10 instead of 4, so we checked in but were told that we need to wait until 4 so that the 'cleaner' cleans the rooms. Welp, apparently the husband from the owners is the cleaner, he arrived barely before 4 with a beer in his hand stinking of alcohol. My friends went out but i managed to whitness what he did in the following hours. It took him 2 hours to change 3 bedsheets (ca 5-6 mins work), meanwhile he went back to his room zo do whatever. Literally nothing was cleaned. And I also doubt he changed my bedsheet as before he came i left one pillow in a certain weird postion, by the time i came back in 3-4 hours it was still in the same position. We were all stinged by bedbugs which is quite disgusting, considering they barely clean the bedsheets + the rooms havent seen a vacum cleaner in ages. Conclusion; it was a cheap accomodation, close to the central, but this can NOT be called a service. When measuring a good hotel, you give points for how many positive things you see. When rating a bad hotel, you check how many things did not satisfied you. This hotel betrayed my expectations in every single aspect. Day ruined. I mean if i dont want to sleep i dont need to pay 35 euros, i can just go to a train station and sit on a bench.

this place was full of bedbugs. the lady was really nice though.

Endroit à éviter si vous le pouvez. Nous avions vu sur hostelworld que nous pouvions arriver à 18h, mais arrivée là bas, la dame nous informe que l'horaire a changé car "nous sommes en été". De plus, nous ne pouvons pas utiliser la cuisine (pratique pour un bed and breakfast), et le petit déjeuner est composé de gâteaux genre petits princes et du thé, sachant qu'on ne peut pas laver notre tasse puisque pas accès à la cuisine ! La salle de bain est correcte. Pour obtenir les clés, on doit soit donner une carte d'identité en guise de caution soit payer. Ils ont également des chiens dont la présence n'est pas indiquée sur le site (super pour les allergies!). On a eu un beau réveil grâce à l'un des chiens qui a décidé de déposer une belle pêche devant l'entrée de notre chambre a 7h30! Dernière chose, j'ai eu la joie de découvrir des "puces de lit" qui m'ont donné des petits boutons sur les coudes, les mains et la cuisse! Ah vraiment sympa comme endroit ! Je crois que ma peau va s'en souvenir pendant 1 semaine ! A part ça, il est assez bien situé (proche centre ville et supermarchés). Ah, et les draps sont payant ! Place to avoid if you can. We had seen on hostelworld that we could arrive at 6pm, but arrived there, the lady informs us that the schedule has changed because "we are in summer". Also, we can't use the kitchen (convenient for a bed and breakfast), and the breakfast is composed of biscuits and tea, but we can't wash our cup 'cause we didn't have access to the kitchen ! The bathroom is ok. To obtain the keys, one must either give an identity card as a deposit or pay. They also have dogs whose presence is not indicated on the site (great for allergies!). We had a nice awakening thanks to one of the dogs who decided to put a nice poop in front of the entrance of our room at 7.30am ! Last thing, I had the joy of discovering "bed bugs" that gave me little pimples on the elbows, hands and thigh! Oh really nice place! I think my skin will remember it for 1 week! Other than that, it is pretty well located (close to city center and supermarkets). Oh, and the sheets are paying!
