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.

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!)

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.

Fine for what we needed. Well located. Very very friendly staff!!

Write up says there was a bar but it was only coffee offered Not in a great location.

Gorgeous place decorated with such taste. Good in room amenities and breakfast included. Very good price and top location. Quiet side street, but with cool eating and drinking places along, and about 10 mins walk from the center. About half hour walk from train station. Lovely staff. This will be my go to place next time I visit Bologna

Lovely hotel close to the centre. Very cool history having been a convent

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!

Nice stay for a night or two. Friendly staff. Easy access. Clean room. Would stay again.

Everything excellent

Good location for our visit; walkable; rooms were great no issues at all.

Location is fantastic. It is near nice restaurant and amazing attractions. The staff were wonderful and very helpful.

The hotel is small. Only 10 rooms. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The building used to be a convent.

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 .

POSIZONE COMODA RISPETTO AL CENTRO CITTA' E ALLA VIABILITA' DI USCITA DALLA CITTA'

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.

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.

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.
