Hotels near Department of Philosophy and Communication, Bologna

We stayed in February. The hotel is very cozy and luxurious. I would give 5 stars for the interior. The hotel is like a palace: sculptures, paintings, rich velour furniture, chic chandeliers. The hotel is large, 6 floors, many rooms, long corridors with a carpet, paintings on the walls and mirrors. The standard room is made in a classic style, fabric on the walls, rich curtains, 10 meters. There is a kettle with coffee and tea. Excellent bed, pillows, bed linen. The room has a bath and bidet. For the first time I see intimate gel in disposable bags. Lots of towels of excellent quality. There was no robe and slippers. Breakfast is delicious, lots of jars of yogurt, jams, honey. They bring coffee, four types of croissants. There is a hot dish, omelet, bacon, pancakes. There is no champagne at breakfast, juices from bags. It's convenient to walk to the railway station with a suitcase, 4-5 minutes. At a cost of 11 thousand per night for two - a luxurious hotel. I recommend it.

The location is perfect, the hotel is nice. I arrived earlier and asked for a early check in but they said it was not possibile and I was waiting on the sofa. Nobody informed me when the room could be ready to get in.. and when I asked it was actually ready. A pity as someone could notice me about that and not letting me waiting there in the hall… the rest all ok!

Excellent location, near the train station, bus station and the historic center, all accessible by foot. The staff was very friendly and ready to help. Wi-fi worked very well. 100% recommended.

I have stayed in this hotel before, so I booked it again this time, but the experience was not as good as the last time! The room was small and a bit crowded. I stayed for two nights and when it was cleaned the next day, tea bags and toiletry bags were not added. Not friendly enough. The location of the hotel is very good, just a few minutes' walk from the train station and within walking distance to the city center square. The people on the hotel are very friendly! However, the price of the hotel is not cheap, especially on weekends.

Service was professional and breakfast spread interesting mix of local food. It was very conveniently located opposite the bologna central train station.

Perfect stay, few steps away from the train station and the historical center, right in front of the Montagnola Park. The room was perfect, ready despite my early arrival. A huge thanks to Tommaso and the whole front desk team for the kindness and the professionality, you really made the difference! See you on my next visit!

It is just opposite the central station, which is very convenient. The room is relatively large and spacious. The overall style is old-fashioned, and the bathroom still has a bathtub, which is not very convenient for taking a bath, and the bath water splashes everywhere. There are relatively few sockets in the room, and there is no USB port commonly used now. It is very convenient to eat at the commercial street at the door, and it is not far to the twin towers of the Neptune fountain in the city center, about 1.2 kilometers. The hotel does not provide slippers and toothbrushes.

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.

The lobby and room was very nice as it’s newly renovated. Location was also great, just opposite the train station and about 20-30 minutes walk into the centre. Staff were all very nice and friendly. The only bad thing was the shower water pressure was too low and the hot water took quite long to come on. The room lighting can also be a bit dim. Breakfast isn’t great so I would recommend to eat outside if you can.

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.
