Hotels Near Piazza de' Celestini in Bologna

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights in mid-August 2022. The hotel is perfectly located in the old city which is pedestrianised but taxis are allowed deposit and collect guests. The reception staff were extremely courteous and helpful. The lounge was airy bright and very comfortable with very efficient great air conditioning. The fabric of the building throught was beautifully maintained which obviously included our room where the bed and bedding was sumptuous and comfortable. The bathroom was large and well appointed and included a good range of toiletries. There were some dramatic rain storms at odd times so to find a large bin full of hotel umbrellas for guest use was a very pleasant and useful touch.

Great location with great staff. The bell tolls every so often, but it is no bother. Shower is a tad bit tiny but bathroom is big. Lift is available but some rooms on level 2 has a few steps to conquer - do request a room that does not tackle this if you cannot lift your luggage for these few steps. One key per room, but key can be left at reception. We had 4 rooms all up and they mananged to get us all on same floor & close by, as per our request. Again, all the staff are great. Check-in is 3pm, check-out is 11am.

A very nice hotel with good amenities. Very friendly staff. The breakfast was decent. Bring a hairdryer as the hairdryer supplied is ok for short hair, but not great for long hair. There was only 2 plug sockets in the room and one in the bathroom. This makes charging modern day phones, watches and other equipment very difficult. Especially if one of the plugs is located behind a cupboard. The kettle was balanced on the air con unit which isn’t ideal. A shelf would be a good idea. There aren’t any draws to put away underwear or tee shirts so be prepared to live from your case, however there is a clothes rail. The beds are made everyday and fresh towels if required. We used the spa which was lovely, although the pool probably was a clean. We will definitely return as the location is excellent, about 8 minute walk to the station.

We had a very nice stay . All the stuff was super kind and polite . 5 to 5 for the cleaners ! The breakfast was very good ! Special thank to the man with glasses in breakfast stage and reception and also to lovely Albanian lady . We loved them and made our stay very comfortable!

My husband and I stayed 7 nights at this beautiful hotel, the staff were amazingly helpful and couldn't do enough to accommodate our needs. The breakfast was fresh and plentiful with enough choices to suit us both. The room was spacious, clean, had an excellent shower and was cleaned daily. The room had clothes hanging space, tea/coffe facility and a mini fridge which we used for our own snacks and drinks. There are spacious indoor and outdoor seating areas. Wifi was available in the rooms and communal areas. The hotel is a 25 minute walk into town or you can catch the number 25 bus from outside the hotel for 2 euros one way. The train system allowed us to travel to Verona, lake Garda, modena and Florence. The hotel is located in the Chinese quarter, we found an amazing Korean restaurant 5 mins walk from hotel, i would recommend this place and i would highly recommend this hotel, and we will return.

This place is amazing for the price. Perfect location. SO clean and comfortable. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I felt safe and taken care of being there alone as a single female. The surrounding area felt safe and I could walk to the stadium. The Central Plaza is a short cab ride and the staff will call taxis for you whenever you want. The buffet breakfast was lovely- nothing crazy fancy but assortments of cheese, meats and sausage, pastries, eggs, fruit, juice, cereal, etc. They made me a latte. I would 100% stay there again. Just absolutely perfect.

Abbiamo alloggiato in questo hotel una sola notte, io e il mio compagno siamo venuti da Roma per un concerto all' Arena Parco Nord, la posizione per noi è stata perfetta perché in 5 minuti eravamo sul posto. La camera è bellisisma, moderna e pulita, idem il bagno con doccia grande. Unico neo la moquette a terra, io non la amo. La colazione è buonissima e molto varia. Consigliato.

On first approach, it was clear to see that this hotel is quite far out from the city centre however explains why the prices are a lot cheaper. My partner and I stayed here in July 2022 for 4 nights and I must admit, we loved the room and overall feel of the hotel. Rooms were very clean and beds were very comfortable. We slept amazingly!! If it was just based on rooms alone, we would give this hotel five stars. However… We booked this hotel mainly because it had a pool. When we asked about the pool, we were informed we needed to book a 1 hour slot if we wanted to use it during that day. This was due to covid measures which were still in place at the hotel. So we did. Booked a 1 hour slot for the pool the following evening. When we arrived at the pool on the lower level, we noticed that the changing rooms were locked and the showers were turned off…due to Covid. Now I would typically understand some reasoning for certain covid rules but this just seemed ridiculous. A couple who were using the pool in the hour slot before us informed us to use the small shower cubicle to get changed as this had a frosted glass door on it and is the only bit of privacy you get down there. So we did! We ended up booking the pool out another two times on our stay but as reception advised following our first pool visit, get changed in your rooms then head down to the pool (assuming you don’t need to get the key from reception to unlock the pool). Towels were provided by poolside although on the first day, there was only one towel left for the two of us. On my final visit to the pool on the morning before we left, I had to go to reception in my swimming trunks because the pool was locked. Something I felt uncomfortable doing in the first place but as there was no changing facilities and the towels were locked by poolside, I reluctantly went to reception where the man behind the desk got angry at me being there in my swimming trunks. Simple solution would be to open up the changing facilities down by poolside to prevent this but hey, that was too obvious. Upon pointing out the fact that the changing facilities in his hotel were locked because they won’t open them due to Covid (which he should have known), he eventually calmed down and mentioned he understood. On our visit we also used the electric bikes which were at reception for a full day at the cost of €25 per bike per day. The system is far to complicated for what it needs to be and should be made simpler by just having reception deal with the booking. Once eventually booked, we were given the keys to the 2 bike locks, helmets and some netting for our hair (another odd covid measure which doesn’t make much sense as you will sweat through the netting anyway). As I was away to take the bikes out, I noticed that all four tyres were flat. Surely this should be inspected by the staff before the bikes are taken out?! Unfortunately staff appeared clueless on what PSI the tires had to be at and as he pumped up the first

Everything was good. The hotel and the room looked nice. It was clean and comfortable. There was free water.

The flight was canceled and I was forced to stay overnight in a hurry. I was looking for it near the airport because it was early in the morning. In the morning, I asked the hotel for a taxi and arrived in about 8 minutes and was able to go smoothly. When you arrive at the hotel at night, you can get to the vicinity of the hotel by bus and have good access, but since there is no bus from around 21:00, you can go by train, but if you are a train, you can walk to the hotel for about 30 minutes. Taxi - There is no platform and the road is dark. We were very lucky because we happened to have someone passing by by car. Breakfast is from 7 o'clock. There were amenities and it was very comfortable!
