Top San Donato-San Vitale Hotel Reviews

Royal Hotel Carlton

8/10 Good

"Very nice, only about a 15-20 minute walk to the main palazzo. It was nice for a few nights, the room was very spacious, and the king bed was huge. Very comfortable stay."

Starhotels Excelsior

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived in Bologna by train for a 2-night stay and the Starhotels Excelsior was a great place to land. The hotel is directly across the street from the train station and within a 20 minute walk to the center of town, which made it ideal for our needs. The front desk staff were helpful and efficient, and the room was spacious - you could walk around without tripping over suitcases - with a comfortable bed. Also, it was very quiet inside the room - any noise from the street below did not reach inside our room. The hotel was a basic place to stay for a couple of nights and met our needs perfectly."

Hotel Palace Bologna Centro

8/10 Good

"The location was great only 5 min walk from Piazza Maggiore, and lots of amenities nearby. Staff were helpful. My room was clean, but the carpets in the main common areas look like they are the same age as the building. That would be my only criticism. Otherwise, for the price it was a pretty basic hotel that did the job."

B&B Bentivogli

8/10 Good

"This is a good value for money option. The room was fine and the air conditioning was key. The staff makes an effort. The set of rooms had a shared kitchen which is great. The elevator is about 2 feet wide and maybe 4 feet deep, so be aware. It works fine but two of you plus your luggage will not fit. The main issue for me was their check in. They sent a note via Expedia that I had to do remote check-in (e.g. no reception) and to contact them via email or WhatsApp three days ahead. I emailed them via Expedia: no reply. I had to Google to find an email for them: got an AI reply that couldn't find my reservation. Called Expedia: their phones were up by then, so they told me to call them and someone would answer. I talked to a human who said I should email them, who I told them I already had. The second email got me the form to fill out, which I did, and a reply that I'd get the instructions around 10 a.m. on my check-in day, which I did. On arriving, the first thing it says is to call a phone number which will buzz me in, and if it doesn't work, to turn off roaming. It doesn't work, I turn off roaming, still didn't work. I look at the names on the apartment directory and one is for ... Reception. So I press it, someone buzzes me in, then a human checks me in. Reception is there from 9a-9p. So... Why did I have to do all the automated process that didn't work anyway? Fix it or drop it."
