I had a lovely stay at Hotel Il Guercino. the quirky decor truly made it unique. The breakfast was a highlight, with a great variety of options to start the day. My room was comfortable, though a bit small for my taste. It's conveniently located just a short walk from the train station and about 15 minutes from the city center. I would definitely consider returning.

I had a pleasant stay at Hotel Il Guercino, enjoying its unique decor and proximity to Bologna Centrale Station. The staff were welcoming and helpful, which made my experience smooth. However, my room was small and had some lingering smells that detracted from the comfort, and the lack of soundproofing made it challenging to enjoy my rest fully.

I found Hotel Il Guercino to be a charming spot, with its eclectic decor and welcoming ambiance. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially at breakfast. However, the thin walls were a significant drawback, making it hard to enjoy some peace at times. Breakfast could use improvement too, as I found it adequate but not particularly impressive, considering the region’s culinary reputation.

Breakfast was adequate, but I was hoping for more local specialties. The cold cuts and cheeses were processed, which felt out of place in such a culinary rich region. The staff was nice and attentive though.
