Albergo Delle Drapperie

Amazing central hotel. Rooms are clean and beautiful. Staff are super kind. This was our first visit, and we received a free upgrade by pure luck. The bed was particularly comfortable and came with two pillows a person. Room was very aesthetic. I can’t think of any problems.

of the 14 hotels we stayed in over our 8 week holiday, excuse me for saying that this was one of 2 locations that i was a little concerned about. i usually go by my gut feeling and as it turned out, i had completely nothing to worry about. i cannot say enough how happy we were to have stayed here. all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. the location was perfect for what we needed. close to everything and the eateries were probably the best food we ate in all of Italy. thank you to everyone for making our 3 night stay very memorable and we would return to this hotel without a second thought.

I have a very mixed feeling about this hotel. There is potential for this hotel to be something really special and it isn’t. I think that the photos on here are a bit deceptive. It is in the most brilliant location amongst the hustle and bustle of the markets and people coming and going. It is a stone’s throw away from all the key sights in Bologna. Our double room was spotlessly clean and very basic and that was fine. What it needed was maybe some shelves in the wardrobe to put your clothes on. We worked out that the safe didn’t work and after the toilet flush broke twice we weren’t overly impressed. There is no sound proofing and that is probably to do with the age of the place, but you can hear literally everything going on in the room next door… Breakfast on our first morning wasn’t a triumph with a stewed filter coffee and a dodgy cappuccino. Which led us on the following two mornings to find breakfast somewhere else at a very jolly cafe around the corner. This hotel could be brilliant, it is crying out for some updating, it has a really bohemian look which is interesting, it has a lovely old lift in it and interesting art on the walls. The stair rods holding the carpet in place on the stairs come loose and sooner or later someone will go flying down the stairs. We really wanted to say that we loved staying here and the reviews on here say as much, but we didn’t enjoy staying here, and it was just disappointing for the money we spent to stay there. Previous to this we had stayed in Turin for three nights-same price, really lovely hotel with attentive staff, so it was disappointing even trying to get a cup of hot water because we weren’t staying in a better room so couldn’t have a kettle because there weren’t enough. The two receptionists were smiling but we really felt that even they look slightly fed up with it all. When we checked out, I couldn’t bring myself to say it had been lovely, which is sad and I hope this hotel can have a face lift, it could keep it’s character but just do a bit of fine tuning!
