MORE THAN A ROOM

Four spaces that feel like home.

A terrace, a shared kitchen, smart lockers, 10 smart devices. Four spaces always yours.

THE CITY WITHIN A WALK

Bologna is a stroll away

From Benedict Rooms you reach the main landmarks in 15–20 minutes on foot, under the covered porticoes of Via Galliera. From 1 to 1.5 kilometres. No cars, no buses. Just the rhythm of the city.
