Top Bologna Hotel Reviews

Royal Hotel Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"It was in London"

Elizabeth Lifestyle Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff was very friendly and amazing upon arrival. They gave us good information as well as provided us with a map. The air-conditioning was nice and cool. The rooms stood tend to keep all of the loud volume away. The only unfortunate thing that we would have to say is that the breakfast was not up to par the coffee was served cold on another day. The water for the tea was cold as well. The water in general was never cold and the yogurt was a liquid concentration."

Grand Hotel Majestic già Baglioni

10/10 Excellent

"Everything and everyone there was amazing. The ONLY thing I would suggest is that they pony up for some soft sheets and pillowcases. Shockingly stiff and uncomfortable. We resorted to wrapping our pillow with a t-shirt."

Savhotel Fiera Bologna

8/10 Good

"Quiet location 15 min walk from the central train station. Very friendly helpful staff. Clean rooms. We had an issue with one of the rooms but this was resolved quickly and an alternative room offered. Good breakfast and also had a nice meal here. Underground garage was an advantage with ability to book our space for a small fee."
