Hotel di 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.

Ideal hotel for work. close to the Fiera and handy roof top bar for after work drinks. The breakfast was nice and hotel was clean. Only anoying thing was you couldnt use the roof top space during the daytime. only access after 5pm. so anyone wanting to work somehere in the hotel and not their room was limited where to go.

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.

my booking was made through *********** with full payment required a few days prior to arrival. According to this requirement my credit card was charged a few days prior my check-in. My stay wouldn't have been so bad but the hotel as well charge my credit card again. I thought it was a human mistake and contacted *********** and the hotel at the same time to resolve the issue a few days after returning from vacation. The hotel completely ignores my messages and has not responding to *********** inquiries. Prior to my arrival the hotel was very quick to answer all questions and concerns. location is good only if you need to stay close to the train or bus station. Hotel is pretty clean, rooms are small but comfortable

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.

I do not like to bring down a company, but... I am sorry: this should not be a 3 star hotel. I give the benefit of the doubts and maybe I got the worst room in the entire structure, but... come on guys!! I had to spend only one night as I had to fly from Bologna, otherwise I would have asked to leave. Already the common areas are not great. I am not making it up: I attach the picture relative to the lights in the corridors. when were these cleaned last time? The room... the heating system was set to BBQ mode I guess. Luckily you can turn it off and the window can be opened. Dust everywhere (again: I posted the pictures of the side table, the inside of the cabinet, the safe). The wall paper is literally falling apart. The bathroom: badly maintained (see picture of the toilet and the shower). I had honestly no time to find a different hotel and ruin the last afternoon of my long weekend with my wife, so I digested the disappointment and I left the morning after. The breakfast… please check the cabinet and the appliances… seriously: you serve food in there! Strange: nobody asked at the check-out ”how was your stay?”... Now my question is: given the photo I am posting, how can the reviews on TripAdvisor be justified? I will stay away from this structure with no doubts in the future.

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.

We booked the hotel a bit last minute, and I think we may have snagged the last room. We had a junior suite which included a living room in addition to the bedroom. Not huge, but a little extra space. Bed was very comfy. Location was excellent. Right off the main square, so very walkable to main spots. Also very impressed with the breakfast. We had stayed at some larger hotels on our trip and I wasn't expecting as much here since it was smaller, but it was just as good if not better than some of the larger hotels.

Tolles Hotel mit sehr gutem Service und an bester Lage. Das Hotel bietet auch eine Garage für 40 Euro am Tag an. Diese befindet sich ca. 3 Minuten vom Hotel entfernt.
