Hotels in Bologna City Center, Bologna

Ottima struttura, centralissima e vicina a Piazza Maggiore. Consigliata per la tranquillità e la comodità per chi volesse raggiungere Bologna in macchina. Il parcheggio è privato, dotato di un cancello automatico. Le camere sono ampie, pulite e con gradevole balconcino nel quale è possibile accomodarsi e sorseggiare qualcosa da bere .

This is my honest and fair review of this hotel. it does have a lot of good points but is very tired in places and lacks maintenance. Location - Juts 5 minutes walk from the main station and 10/15 minutes walk to the main square and most of Bologna's main attractions. Appearance - The hotel is officially a 3 star hotel, but it lets itself down in a number of places. In our room the wall paper was peeling at the edges, the paintwork was peeling and the chair in the room had a torn fabric seat. A programme of refurbishment is needed. Staff - Our room was kept very clean by our maid and the reception desk were helpful with maps and advise of where to go. Food - The only food the hotel offers is their continental breakfast. I was aware of this before I booked, but was pleasantly surprised how good it was. The spread offered unlimited hot and cold drinks and juices, hard boiled eggs, hams, cheeses, cereals, yoghurts, pastries, croissants, fruits and salads. One would not leave the hotel in the mornings. Rooms - As I have mentioned our room was a little tired in places and could do with a revamp. But it did not detract from our comfort, the bed was huge and clean, the bed linens were pristine and spotless. The room had air con, good black out curtains, colour tv ( although very few English speaking channels) and a safe. The room also had a fridge and mini bar, but no price list so we had no idea what the contents would cost us. Nevertheless the room was nice and quite and we slept very well. Bathrooms - Had a toilet, bidet, shower and very soft toilet tissue. Good quality towels were provided along with basic shower gels, shampoos and soap. But again it was let down by small details, the sink did not have a plug, the shower door seals have gone so it leaked into the shower floor that had a couple of cracked tiles, and there was some evidence of mould in the shower itself. WIFI - The wifi was free, very good and strong throughout the hotel. Trips - We did one trip to San Marino, which was easy to arrange. Take the train to Rimini, right outside of the station is bus stop for the bus to San Marino. My top tip for this trip is to go as early as possible so you can spend as much time in San Marino as you can. Hotel Tax - There is a charge of 4 euros per night per person. Summary - This was a convenient hotel for us as it was close to the station, and was fine for the three nights we were there, whilst some maintenance is urgently required it was not sufficient to ruin my stay, but I do think if I was staying for any longer than 3 days I may have looked elsewhere.

We loved this hotel. Everything was brilliant from the lovely staff to the comfortable room, (with a superb shower), and the generous breakfast. Our only regret? That we didn't stay in Bologna longer. We intend to remedy that, and when we do, we will definitely stay here!

Two stars because it is a nice hotel with comfortable beds. Thats about it. It is certainly not a five star hotel, which it purports to be. We arrived around 8pm and advised reception that we needed to leave for the airport at five am. At some point reception advises that the booking was for one person and they had to charge us for the second. I have never heard of this! So for the extra person for our 8 hour stay, they wanted €100! What the hell for? I looked on a booking sight and showed the receptionist that I could still book a room (which would come with a free bottle of wine) for two people for exactly what I paid. Receptionist kept saying that it would be more if i booked through the hotel. Lets follow the logic here. Why would i book directly through the hotel if the same room is less on a booking sight? The most irritating part is that she kept laughing inappropriately for some unknown reason. The male receptionist kept insisting that the € 100 was for the ”free” hot breakfast. We reminded him that we had to leave before breakfast was served. He assured us that there would be a cart full of food in the morning before we left. Long story short, that did not happen. There was a cart with coffee and a few pastries. But wait, there's more! The man at the reception in the morning told us that if we had asked, they would have made us breakfast. That would have been nice if it was ever suggested by reception at check in! A real five star hotel would have just taken the initiative to prepare the bagged breakfast for us given the conversation had the night before. I also enjoyed how the staff talked down to us insisting that a €100 per person euro fee is totally normal. Because I've never stayed in a hotel before! Thats sarcasm btw. Again, this certainly was not a five star experience. And just to compare apples to apples, we stayed at a four star hotel when we arrived in bologna 10 days earlier. It was 1/5 the cost, the staff much more accommodating and was just as comfortable and nice. So do yourself a favor and ignore the alleged five star rating and save your money and nerves by staying anywhere else.

The environment is great, close to the train station and convenient. The room is very sanitary and the price is not bad.

Fantastic location and great room. I came here for the Michelin Star restaurant, which does not disappoint! It was a reunion with my parents, and once the staff knew this, they gave us a little treat at the end of the meal, which was much appreciated. Located near the main square of Bologna, so very handy for a day trip. Highly recommended to any traveller.

Warm service, tea at night, a teapot, and a teacup. Carefully print the ticket. Convenient transportation, 10 minutes walk from the train station. Surrounded by lively, there are supermarkets a few hundred meters away. There are many varieties of breakfast, not bad.

We chose this hotel because of the location just a few minutes' walk from the station but still close to the centre. It proved to be a good find. This is a quirky place, with a very narrow frontage that goes back a long way, almost to the next street. It seems to be a converted house: our twin room had a double height space right to the tiled roof, as well as two bathrooms. The single room was small. Both were adequately equipped although the location of charging points for phones wasn't ideal. The aircon worked very well. Don't expect great views (or in fact any views at all), but it's a quiet location. Unfortunately the walls are very thin so noise from adjoining rooms is a problem. They serve a decent continental breakfast and the receptionists were very helpful, even offering to refill our water bottles before we went exploring on a warm day.

Fabulous location. You can walk everywhere. Very spacious 2 room suite with large bathroom with shower/tub. Traditional Italian decor - local feeling. We had the Suite Piazza Maggiore on the 5th floor. You can see view over to Piazza Maggiore. Easy taxi dropoff and pickup for arrival and departure.

Very close to the Twin Towers and the main campus of Bologna, a very small hotel. Very clean and the room is not small. After staying, I went out for a lap and came back with a welcome fruit. The breakfast was underground, slightly darker, but it was also cleverly designed according to local conditions. Looking out the window of the room, you can see the corner of the twin towers. It is very quiet at night and sleeps very well. The front desk staff is very handsome and uncle, the whole hotel style is very artistic, and overall it is still very good stay experience.
