Breakfast
Rooms
The hotel's location near the train station is considered convenient for travelers. Rooms, despite being close to the station, are noted to be quiet and soundproofed by some guests. The beds and linens receive commendations for their cleanliness and comfort. Modern amenities, such as air conditioning and Wi-Fi, are present, but the air conditioning's effectiveness varies with some guests finding rooms too hot.
On the downside, some rooms are smaller than expected with limited space and facilities for multiple guests. Noise from outside trams or neighboring rooms can be an issue. Some guests report that the rooms do not always match photos or expectations from booking sites. Old and worn-out furnishings, lack of modern renovations and small details like insufficient power outlets or malfunctioning fixtures are occasionally problematic.
While the structure is under some renovation, many still find it charming and functional. The absence of an included breakfast is noted, although complimentary cappuccinos are a small perk. Overall, the reviews indicate that Hotel Bologna offers satisfactory accommodations, mainly praised for cleanliness and location, but it could benefit from further updates and modernization in its room facilities.
Beds
However, there are a few points of contention. Some guests mention that the beds and pillows can be either too hard or too soft with occasional back pain reported in the morning. The size of the beds is also a topic; they are sometimes described as smaller than expected with some double beds being particularly cramped.
A recurring theme is the disparity in pillow comfort. While some guests find the pillows adequate, others note them as very thin or uncomfortable, suggesting room for improvement.
Despite these mixed feelings, the consensus is that Hotel Bologna provides a generally comfortable sleep experience, making it a viable choice for visitors prioritizing a good rest.
Cleanliness
The recently renovated bathrooms add to the modern and functional appeal, often noted for their stylish design and high levels of hygiene. Despite being housed in an older building, the interiors have been updated to offer comfort and functionality, contributing to a positive overall experience.
Guests appreciate the hotel’s strategic location, just a short walk from the train station, making it a convenient base for exploring the city. The hotel's offering of complimentary morning beverages, even without breakfast, adds a thoughtful touch to the stay.
The friendly staff and excellent service further enhance the atmosphere, making guests feel comfortable and well cared for. Despite minor issues like occasional noise at night or the need for ongoing renovations, the overwhelming consensus is that Hotel Bologna provides great value for money, combining excellent location, modern amenities and impeccable cleanliness.
Staff
Whether it's providing travel advice, assisting with luggage storage or offering complimentary tea and coffee, the staff's attentiveness stands out.

Overall, the hotel's personnel are recognized for their courteous and efficient service, contributing significantly to making guests feel at home. Their genuine kindness and flexible approach to meet various needs leave a lasting positive impression.
Wi-Fi
However, the WiFi signal seems to falter in some of the rooms with multiple guests pointing out issues such as slow, unstable or non-existent connections in their accommodations. Issues such as the WiFi not reaching the room or the signal disappearing upon entering the room have been mentioned. Internet access can occasionally become a challenge, particularly noted on the third floor.
Despite these setbacks, when the WiFi works, guests have found it to be an effective tool for their needs, making it a feasible option for those okay with potentially heading to common areas for the strongest connection.
Family
However, there are some shortcomings to be aware of. The hotel's building structure appears dated and ongoing electrical repairs may occur without prior notification. Rooms are not very soundproof with guests noting the noise of trams and cars passing by. Some have also mentioned a lack of space for children to play.
While family-specific amenities and services are not particularly highlighted, the staff remain helpful with availability to provide directions and assist with various needs. Despite the drawbacks, previous guests have expressed intentions to return, indicating a generally favorable experience.
Nightlife
However, the liveliness comes with a downside: persistent noise issues. Many guests report disturbances from trams passing by, street noise and music from nearby nightclubs which often continues into the early hours of the morning. The noise can be particularly disturbing for light sleepers or those seeking a peaceful night's rest. Some reviewers mentioned that the area around the hotel can seem a bit sketchy at night and is sometimes poorly lit.
In summary, Hotel Bologna's central location is ideal for nightlife enthusiasts who don’t mind some noise interruptions. Visitors seeking a more serene environment might want to consider these aspects before booking.
