Hotels Near Piazza Maggiore in Bologna

The hotel's location is excellent, a stone's throw from Piazza Maggiore and via dell'Indipendenza (shopping street). Clean and well-kept rooms with modern furnishings and excellent room services (breakfast and pillow menu) Careful and very good breakfast (both salty and sweet) with the classics of traditional Emilian cuisine

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.

For this money a good hotel in the center. Yes, it's very old, old and killed furniture, crazy violin floors, but clean bedding and towels, rooms are big. Breakfast as a good for Italy - omlet and eggs crude, becon, meat and cheese cuts, baking, juice and coffee. In general for this money - I recommend.

It's about a 20-minute walk from the station. I think the service is OK, but the sound insulation is a bit poor and the key is a bit difficult to use. It's not just a matter of inserting the keyhole into it. It has to be aligned to a certain depth where there will be a latch, and you have to turn it to that depth before it can be used.

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.

We had a lovely stay at the hotel Donatello. The location is fantastic, walking distance from the train station and from many of Bologna’s attractions. Staff were welcome and helpful, room was spotless, bed was comfortable. Great all round, thank you!

They gave us a family room outside of the main building of the hotel. So, we exposed the voice coming from the street. The room was large enough but at the first glance we felt a little bit unsafe, but it was OK. However, there was a draft of cold air in the room that we could not locate, Croissants at the breakfast were the worst I have ever tasted. Please change your supplier. Stuff was kind and helpful.

I liked the location, the overall state of the hostel, and the staff was amazing. However, the description of the room was a bit confusing while booking (maybe it was just me who misunderstood though). When booking, it seemed that I was choosing a room with only 2 people in, but it turned out I was assigned to a room of 4. But can't complain much. The rest was incredible, and the price is the best. So, thanks!

I stayed here for the second time after three days. It might be the off-season recently. It was only RMB 300 if I booked two days in advance. It was very affordable. It was a coincidence that I was given the same room as last time, but the weather was much better this time. It was nice to watch the sunrise from the balcony in the morning.
