Riva Reno GuestHouse

The central location was a real plus, and my private room and bathroom stayed clean throughout my stay from late September into early October. The host was very kind and spoke Spanish, which helped me a lot. I was travelling alone without a credit card, so I called him from my country beforehand to get my check-in documents ready. Check-in went smoothly, and checkout was even easier: just leave the keys in the room and go, as long as it’s during the proper hours. I can only speak for my room, but I had a good experience. It seems suitable for a few days away, whether you’re on your own or as a couple.

Wouldn’t recommend this at all. After I booked through Booking.com, the property messaged me on WhatsApp saying the price would be much higher.

I booked two nights, went to the address, and found the office closed. They hung up on me ten times, then said they didn’t work with Booking, Priceline, or any of those services. They took my money, and when I called Priceline, I couldn’t get a refund. This place in Bologna is a fraud. Don’t go.

We had to find somewhere else to stay in Bologna at short notice, and this place worked well for us. The balcony was lovely, with greenery, and Marco was kind and helpful. They provided towels, toilet paper, and shampoo.
