I was horrified with this hotel. Although in a central area, I would never stay here. The entrance to the hotel reminded me of a run-down pensione showcasing both broken mirrors and pottery. Macabre Christmas lighting intertwined with ancient, dusty fake ivy gave me the chills. The breakfast room looked like the entrance to a Sicilian funeral parlor. The room had beds with very old mattresses and the decor was gloomy and surreal. The window shutters were kept tightly closed to hide the depressing "view" on the run-down building across, but most probably to keep you away from the vitreous stare of the dead pigeon lying on the other side of the glass. I ran away after receiving a morbid glimpse of what my room could have been for three nights, and I happily upgraded my stay at the beautiful Hotel Novecento. The money was well spent.

My husband and I satyed in the small, but perfectly formed hotel over our second anniversary in Sep '04. The rooms were small, but clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel's central location is a HUGE bonus as well as the ice cream parlour at the end of the road whcih sell the BEST ice cream in EVERY FLAVOUR imaginable. Bologna is a stunning city with a very cosmopolitain feel with beautiful piazzas and amazing restarunts tucked away off the tourist track. We loved the way each bar put on a small 'buffet' at around 5pm to entice people in (it worked and you end up staying all night..no need for dinner). Bologna's central location and brilliant train routes allowed us to visit our beloved Florence (again!) and Venice for the first time.. Overall great hotel, brilliant anniversary location!

We spent four nights here in mid-October, 2004.

The stairs up to the lobby is a killer climb. Our room
was dark, and poorly furnished.

We would not stay here again.

Visited the Due Torri in September 2003 and once I got over the quiet setting (down a narrow road on a Sunday afternoon), walked just two blocks and found the evening passagieto going on, I knew I was fine. I had a double room single use for 117EUR and, though small, it was fine. Great bathroom, comfortable bed. Breakfast was very nice, though after being on the Grand Canal for breakfast the previous few days, this inside room felt a little stiffling. Plenty of restaurants nearby and all the attractions you might want to see in a a couple of days.
