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.

Advertised as 4 star hotel with a bar. No bar facilities and not what I would expect of a 4 star hotel. Booked a suite which was a room with mezzanine level with a desk. Breakfast advertised as being on a terrace but in fact mezzanine above reception area. Staff were helpful and pleasant but the hotel was not staffed 24 hours. Had to ask for air con control and the room was very basic for the price charged.

Nice hotel, friendly staff

The hotel is in an old convent. I had a ground floor room with very high ceilings and dramatic lighting. The appeared to be a window high near the ceiling, so it could not be opened for fresh air. The room had a mini split, but it was malfunctioning and didn’t always work. A staff member checked the controls and everything was set correctly. It was a mystery. The room got quite stuffy with out the fan or AC working. The was also an on/off rather bad odor from the bathroom drains. Overall though, a very pleasant stay.

Never again (Suite is a scam)

I stayed there 10 days last year and planned to be back in bologna often. This is my first bad review. With metal implants in my leg, I picked the Suite because of the spa tub for pain. But it doesn’t work, the owner talked to my boyfriend and told him he should get it fixed. The cold water leaks and we had to tighten the base at the tiles to get it to stop. I took a movie, showed the front desk, no one would come check and he promised a new room the next day. They kept asking about the parking when we were in the municipal spaces. He layed on the lobby couch all night screaming. I could hear him from the room at 4 am. I asked him for a blanket and he said we had a duvet cover (which had a sheet inside it) and said turn up the heat if you’re cold. He also said to circle one choice for breakfast so I got 3 slices of old mortadella , what a change from last year. The stairs are steep with dirty carpet the entrance room is just a plastic couch so if you want anything it’s 3 flights up and down. They said yes to switching rooms twice. We packed everything and put it by the door. I returned the boy was there and said no, threatened me with charges if I kept asking bc my stupid bf smoked a cig. the maid checked the tub it was perfect (the maid is a plumber). I begged for any room without stairs and said I’ll pay for the suite np. I said talk to me, bc they kept only addressing my bf, “you don’t speak Italian”(The boy didn’t either or English!)

Although the staff might have tried the best service, the hotel is not a four-star by far. From four days we were there, 2 we had NO water and the hotel was unable to find a solution. At the end we left before we planned. The staff didn't seem to care about IT MUCH. The website announces a buffet for breakfast: we were told it wasn't offered since 2 years ago. Instead, we got a very pool quality breakfast meal on a plate and we could not ask for any extras! I will call for full repayment and compensation. Location is not great neither Don't go!

What a wonderful place to stay.....a privilege....

I chose Il Covento as it looked so interesting and was such a good price. Do not believe any of the negative reviews you may have read! It is absolutely lovely, in every sense of the word. Check in was very easy, and having taken us to our room, a glass of chilled Prosecco appeared as well. We had a Junior Suite: we didn't really use the upstairs bit, apart from admiring it, but it meant that the bedroom was very spacious. Bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was excellent. Breakfast was amazing.....I read somewhere that it was very sparse?!?!?!?! Nothing could be further from the truth. A very elegant buffet, laid out over two rooms, and we didn't need anything else until late each afternoon. The staff are absolutely delightful. Really helpful. The whole building has an amazing feel of antiquity about it, and it is very obvious that it was a convent. The breakfast room is on the first floor, and you look over the balcony to the convent ceiling, beautiful arches/blue/frescoes....... It is a good 20 minutes walk from the historical centre, but we used buses and taxis as well, if you don't feel like walking. I would unhesitatingly recommend it to anyone, but not if you want to stay in a modern box with bland wall to wall furnishings etc. Oh, there is a really good little supermarket about ten metres away......we bought milk as they didn't seem to understand that we Brits like milk in our tea! And kept it in the fridge in our room....not a problem at all.

10 min walk from the centre with all the restaurants and the 2 towers. The staff were extra helpful, all spoke English, always happy and smiling. Never went to the breakfast so can’t comment on that but it’s a buffet style I was told, served till 10 30 I believe. Room cleaned and towels replaced daily, do wish more towels were given as in August you’ll be showering a couple of times a day cos of the heat, room did have air conditioning which just about managed, tv quite far away from the bed in the Suite, the whirlpool bath was excellent. Overall a lovely hotel, no noise between rooms, make sure you don’t pull the little cord hanging in the bathrooms from next to light switch style panels, they are alarms!

The boutique hotel “Il convento dei fiori di seta” has a little historical connection to the silk manufacturing in Bologna. Staff are delightful and helpful . The deluxe double room is spacious, quiet and very comfortable. The breakfast selection was extensive and delicious. It is perfectly located near the Santo Stefano area within walking distance of Cremeria Santo Stefano which has gelato and granita using a diverse range of ingredients. Eg : peach and rosemary ; salted pistachio from the Bosforus. We will be returning to this delightful accommodation on our future trips .

A very nice place to stay if you want a nice room.

They allowed us to check in an hour earlier than advertised with no quibbles. The room is nice when you walk in and there were no particular issues beyond a wobbly toilet seat and the wifi kept disconnecting. The hotel is about fifteen minutes walk from the very centre of Bologna. Breakfast in the morning had a good range of items in a buffet. Unlike at check in, the staff were a bit stand-offish at breakfast. They allowed us to leave our bags for an hour after check in with no charge. Overall I would stay again if I was travelling to Bologna but I wouldn't travel there just to stay in the hotel.

On the edge of the historic centre of Bologna and near a large park (Giardini Marguerita).The rooms are elegantly furnished, luxurious and include a coffee maker. As it says in the title, it is a converted convent. Breakfast is served in an upstairs gallery area. The ceiling of the entrance hall is beautiful.

Clean hotel with friendly staff

Great location for a lovely walk into the centre of the town. Some great little bars and restaurants nearby. Hotel was very clean and the staff were friendly but needs updating a little. The beds were very uncomfortable and take your own hairdryer. The one provided was pretty useless and for the money, would have expected more. That said, the bathroom was lovely and shower excellent. Hot water at all times of the day. I would stay here again but with some small improvements, could be a great little place.

quiet oasis on edge of old city

This is a comfortable hotel in a street parallel to the inner ring road of the city, and therefore easy to access from the autostrada, recommended satnav ! There is onstreet parking 50 yards away at the end of the street, free on Sunday, 2 euros 80 per hour 9 to 6, red machine accepts card payment. The hotel reception area is the only evidence of its previous life, the breakfast eaten on the small mezzanine watched by a fresco Christ. Everything is in small supply, tiny cakes and croissants, fresh fruit, yoghurt, bacon and egg, and cold meat and cheese, toast, all buffet style, coffee comes fresh from the downstairs bar cubicle. Rooms were of a high spec,power shower and all mod cons. But the much vaunted clooney coffee maker did not work.Only stayed the night so did not bother the very pleasant staff.

Bad News in Bologna

The advance booking price was a total scam. Paid almost 2X the rack rate that was available when checking in. The rooms were 3 star minus at best and the amenities were as meager and cheap as one could imagine. Keep your expectations for Florence or other nearby digs as Bologna is a bust. PS food was not the epicurean capitol of Italy.The hotel has only 3 employees max. that work hard to try to do too much as only 2 are present at any one time (inc cleaning and maintenance)and sometimes are single staffed. The owner needs to get out and see what's happening in the hostelry trade today.

Good bed and breakfast, poor hotel

Perhaps I had unrealistic expectations, but given the amount of money (paid upfront) I felt very let down. This is a VERY overpriced bed and breakfast. Of the three staff, two spoke English and were pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, there were building-wide power cuts roughly every two hours and the air conditioning did not work. I was told that an electrician would be coming by soon, but looking through reviews of the past year I realise this is a longstanding claim. Sad to say that I cut my week in Bologna short by two days because of this hotel.

Quirky!

Cannot fault this hotel in any way. We've stayed in many hotels all over Europe and have to say this is one of the vest. The room was very 'different' (room 42) - having its very own balcony overlooking the bedroom area! The shower was wonderful and the facilities were exellent. The concierfe/porter/receptionist was a lovely chap - very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The walk into the 'main' city area was a bit of a distance, but well worth it as its situation was quiet. Take a good pair of comfortable walking shoes/trainers/boots for the city itself!

Good hotel for exploring Bologna on foot

Great welcome and helpful throughout our stay. Hotel and our room were quiet night and day. We felt the hotel let itself down with detail; the bathroom door would not close as screws were missing, the lights over the bed had half their lamps missing and we had to chase these up. The bathroom basin was cracked. That said if we go back to Bologna we would stay there again.

A pleasant surprise!

We started our tour in Bologna because it's got an airport! However, little did we know that it's got a lot more gaining on that that..a pleasant surprise. The hotel is in a great location inside the city walls and a short walk in the portico's to the centre of town. It is clean and the room was large. We parked our car in the street around the hotel for E10/night. Take the portico'ed walk up the hill to the duomo.

Small friendly hotel.

Comfortable characterful rooms. It was at a quiet time in August, so perhaps different staff and atmosphere. Some staff were excellent. I would definitely stay again. Breakfast is always included.

It's in a quiet area of Bologna and easy to walk to the city center. The amenities were lacking (wifi never worked) and the shower didn't drain properly. Next time I would stay somewhere else.

Doesn t deserve its stars

Wifi very poor, definitely not good for business purposes. They claim SPA is cincluded in the service, so you choose this hotel expecting to have SPA like in many other hotels in the world. Once there you realise that you have to pay for it, and quite a lot. Plastic breakfast, all packaged good, a mini fridge which doesn 't close properly with inside some yogurts that look like they suffer from temperature changes. Loads of cakes and pastry in a buffet, no healthy food. Parking impossible. They claim to have it, but only two spaces are available in front of the hotel. Neighbourhood good, it's very centric. But this is the only plus of the hotel.

Nice small hotel in old town Bologna

Great hotel on the out skirts of the old town. Easy to find and only a 19 minute walk to the shops, bars and restu rants in the middle of town. Hotel is small and quiet. Breakfast was interesting, nice selection of yoghurt, fruit juice, cold mests, cheese and croissants with pizza, cake and a pot of the strongest coffee ever seen. Rooms decorated brightly, on suite excellent with amazing waterfall like shower. Tea and coffee facilities in room disappointing and iron leaked water, but everything else good. First class helpful staff

Nice hotel but...

The hotel is quite nice and in good condition, the location is just barely into a traffic limited area and they request 25 euro per night for parking (that sounds a bit too much)The staff is helpful and nice, but the walls are way too thin: I had a child running over my head for a good part of the afternoon and a guy listening music or tv and speaking quite loud in the night

close to the center but not a very good stay

Very small rooms, prison like corridors and rooms, no carpet, poor lighting. Room door was difficult to open, room was noisy. Tiny shower with minimal space and unsafe glass door. I could not wait to leave. Parking attendant told me they would charge me €20 for parking, but hotel receptionist charged me €25 and provided me with no parking receipt (odd...). Very interested that I paid him and not the parking directly (double odd) I would not stay here again and my best advise for expedia travellers is to choose many other great options around Bologna. This particular hotel needs to learn a thing or two before they can cater properly to their guests.

Obviously a very frustrated decorator worked on the rehab here. Totally non-functional room and bathroom. Lighting inadequate. Shower ridiculously equipped. Sink a disaster. Black mold all over shower base perimeter. Beds so uncomfortable that we slept until 11:00am at the next hotel since we hadn't slept in 4 nights. Pillows atrocious as well. Strangest elevator ever seen. Must hold button to call until it arrives. Must hold it until desired level reached. Hurst your fingers to do so.

Parking was not difficult, and there is a garage nearby if you can't find street parking. The service was very good. The room was extremely comfortable and charming. And the price was excellent.

Convienent location , great find!

We chose this hotel because it was in close proximity to where our son was studying abroad in a Master's program.....and it turned out to be a fantastic find in the heart if the "old city" of Bologna. The staff was absolutey wonderful during our entire stay of 6 nights. The rooms were beautifully and artistically designed yet the feel of the hotel was still historic as well.....just very well done! Very nice European breakfast included every morning...and no limit on the cappchino and espresso coffees.....we would most certainly stay here again and look forward to it!

Review of our 4 day stay

We had a lovely 4 days at Il Convento. The staff were so friendly and the style of the reception and lounge, with the old convent decoration, was beautiful. The room was spacious and quiet and well appointed. Breakfast was simple but good (and plenty of it!). We are not sure that everyone would feel totally comfortable walking back to the hotel late at night/in the dark; the smaller streets aren't always very well lighted. However there were plenty of local people walking the same streets late in the evening so the area must be safe and we always felt fine. Bologna is a non-touristy place to visit, with a lively night-life and great shops and cafes. We would stay at Il Convento again!

Good Hotel

We had a lovely room with a high vaulted ceiling and a large shower/ wc en suite. The staff were very nice and spoke good English. The location is not quite Central Bologna, but everything is pretty close, and whilst the street looks a little rough it is an ok area, the locals are friendly and the hotel is just lovely. Just down the road on Via Castiglioni is one of Italy's best gelato shops which is well worth a visit or two!

Delightful gem ... sleep in luxury!

I found this hotel while booking a last-minute trip to Bologna and it exceeded all expectations. It is centrally located in the heart of the old city and has the friendliest staff imaginable. Eliza at the front desk greeted us warmly upon arrival, helped us park easily in front of the hotel and guided all our eating decisions and tour help during our all-too-brief stay. She was indispensable and so kind. The room itself was perfect and had linen sheets that one only finds in 5-star hotels in Europe. We will visit agin when next in Bologna!

We stayed in the suite room which is on two levels and the layout is not ideal but, that said, we really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were superb and the location is quiet and within easy walking distance of the city centre. Hotel is clean and characterful. Breakfast is basic but enjoyable. The hotel is not a modern, slick, facility-rich, impersonal affair, rather a bit quirky and homely. In a word "delightful".

Small unusual hotel with great staff

Very helpful staff who provided coffee and cake for breakfast when we were leaving before the official breakfast time. Room was a good size and I liked the funky decoration. Comfy bed, good shower and very good choice for breakfast. The room was very clean but we found it strange that room service had been in our rooms in the evening as well as the mornings. Slightly out of the very centre but i enjoyed the "local" style neighbourhood. We were the only tourists at the very basic bar a few yards away- not everyones choice of bar but 4 drinks were less than half the price we payed at a bar in a central piazza. Best gelato Ive ever had just around the corner too.

Außergewöhnlich

Das kleine Hotel liegt am Rande der Altstadt, deren historische Gebäude alle fußläufig erreichbar sind. Das Hotel in einem alten herrschaftlichen Gebäude hat nur wenige Zimmer, wir hatten eine Suite über zwei Etagen mit zwei großen Bädern, die man einfach nur als "außergewöhnlich" bezeichnen kann: Unten Wohnbereich mit begehbarem Kleiderschrank, kleinem Kühlschrank und Safe sowie größem Bad mit Dusche. Oben (über eine verglaste Treppe) Schlafbereich mit weiterem großen Bad mit Whirlpoolbadewanne, die aber nur als normale Wanne funktionierte. Einziges kleines Manko: Derzeit wird das Frühstück nur aufs Zimmer serviert und man muss sich vorher festlegen, was man haben will und wann es serviert werden soll. Die Auswahl und die Qualität des Frühstücks war eher bescheiden, aber das ist in Italien häufiger so.

Personale orribile. Puzza di muffa. Rumoroso.

Non capisco come un posto così carino sia gestito da personale così incompetente, arrogante, impreparato e maleducato (e senza mascherina perché "tanto c'è il pannello di plastica al front desk!"). Pessima soprattutto la "signorina" che ci ha ricevuti senza dirci che avremmo avuto diritto a posteggiare in ZTL: lo abbiamo scoperto al check out da un suo collega e, chiedendo spiegazioni dato che abbiamo parcheggiato a 15 minuti a piedi a 15€ al giorno dopo aver pagato 120€ per 1 stanza per 1 notte, la signorina ci ha risposto "se eravate veramente ricchi, andavate in un 5 stelle", andandosene. Camera senza finestra, colazione servita in camera da un ragazzo senza mascherina, camera molto rumorosa e l'hotel puzza di muffa.

Tra i pro la colazione che, nonostante il periodo covid e quindi con le varie limitazioni del caso, si presenta ricca e servita puntuale in camera. La struttura è curata e davvero ben fatta, con una posizione ottima per chi vuole visitare comodamente il centro (bellissimo) di Bologna. La camera è spaziosa e pulita, unici punti a sfavore sono l'assenza del doccino nella doccia e il letto non dei più comodi (e cigolante). Il parcheggio a pochi passi è comodo anche se a pagamento. La colazione era molto buona.
