My stay at Smy Bologna Centrale was a mix of good and not-so-great experiences. The location near the train station was quite convenient for my travels. However, I faced some issues with the service later on that left me disappointed. Overall, it was a clean and comfortable place to stay, but there were a few areas that could use improvement.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was clean with a modern design and a comfortable bed. It was well-kept, though a bit on the smaller side. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which was a big plus in the 36°C heat.

Service

While the manager Inna was incredibly attentive and professional, I found it frustrating that after my visit, my attempts to communicate about a billing issue were ignored. During my stay, staff were friendly, but often not visible at the front desk.

Location

The location is excellent, just a two-minute walk from the train station and not too far from major attractions, although it was about a 22-minute walk to the city center. If you're looking for convenience for travel, this is a great spot.

Breakfast had a good selection with nice bread, pastries, and coffee, but overall could have been improved. Some items like cakes were quite dry and the coffee wasn't of the best quality.

My stay at Smy Bologna Centrale had its ups and downs. While the location was convenient for reaching the train station and the staff at the bar were welcoming, I struggled with communication issues and a less than satisfactory experience overall. The room, although clean, was quite noisy due to its position on a busy street.

My stay at Smy Bologna Centrale had its highs and lows. While the location was perfect for my travels, with its close proximity to the train station and about a ten-minute walk into the city center, the issues with air conditioning really impacted my comfort. On the other hand, the staff were friendly and always made me feel welcome during breakfast, which had a decent variety of options.
