I stayed at Hotel Laura due to the reasonable price and the proximity to the metro. It was insanely close to the bologna B metro stop, not the best area to see the touristic sites but perfect for a short trip to Rome for an interview. The single room was small, but just what I needed. Housekeeping also took my bed spread and spare blanket-but when I asked the front desk for help they provided me with blankets. The shower was nice water pressure and hot, all though the bathroom was missing a few tiles. Overall, as a young solo traveler on a budget-this was a fine option. The street was a little noisy, but the building was quiet and the building was so close to the metro I felt safe even alone at night. There were also people out on the street-but the 24/7 reception make me feel safe.
