Very Good

We had a great stay and the reception team were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is about a 10 mins walk from the historic square and has a good number of restaurants nearby, which were reasonably price and great food. Our room was on the first floor overlooking the street and was very comfortable, although the chairs were a bit tired and the cleaning could have been better. The breakfast was very good and went through until 10.30, plenty of choice. If you want to stay within the walled city we would recommend this hotel as you can get to all the places very easily.
Overall, our stay was nice and the rooms were spacious. But make sure to request a heater before you arrive. On our first night, they told us there were no heaters available. Other than that, everything was fine.
Small but delightful hotel in Bologna with easy access both on foot and public transport to centre. Very comfortable rooms, good bathrooms, and attractive public areas. Very good breakfast, and very helpful staff.
Stayed here since it's near where our daughter is living while studying in Bologna. Very cute - an old convent converted into a hotel. Rooms were decent sized and the breakfast was good. A little walk to the Piazza Maggiore, but there are businesses close to the hotel - a supermarket right next door.
Clean, quiet in perfect location intimate hotel. Nice and very helpful receptionists, especially young gentleman with glasses. Good quality breakfast. We would definitely stay there again.
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.
I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff are extremely kind and helpful. My room was clean and very comfortable. Location is good, short walking distance to most of the main sites, restaurants and shopping.
This is a great place to explore Bologna from. In a former convent the rooms are unique. A short walk to the main square . Loved my stay and would definitely stay here again.
Giulio and Maria in reception were excellent. Both very helpful, warm and friendly. Went out of their way to answer questions. Hotel and room were quaint, beautiful and historic. It is a former convent with some relics remaining.Very clean and comfortable. Unique and beautiful rooms. Fantastic breakfast included.

Fine for what we needed. Well located. Very very friendly staff!!
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.
The staff was very nice and the room was clean and big. We had cleaning every day. From the hotel, it is easy to get to the city center. The breakfast was not the best, but we liked the fresh made coffee in the morning.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The room arrangement, an upstairs and downstairs, was inconvenient, dangerous with all the glass railings and doors and not a comfortable stay. The staff was good, breakfast good.
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.
