“La Lanterna stands out for its proximity to Bologna Centrale, simplifying travel while placing guests near key attractions. I see it as a practical choice, particularly for families, given the availability of spacious rooms and daily housekeeping. While some may find the sound insulation less than ideal, the overall convenience and location present a compelling argument for a city stay.”
