The outside of the building is not very inviting but the rooms are tidy and comfortable, the staff is friendly, buffet breakfast is very good, they have free parking and it is conveniently located 10 minutes from the airport and the entrance of the highway. I stayed here several times and I would definitely go back. More

This hotel is located not far from beautiful San Luca and it takes about 30min to get to the downtown on foot(or 5 min by taxi) and 10 min to get to the Marconi airport. Check-in procedure didn't take much time, the receptionist was very friendly. I had a very nice view from my window, the room was clean and... More

At 150 euros per night (during a book fair) this was very poor value: I wish we had stayed at the airport or further out. It would be OK at half the price as a stopover, but little else. Lots of traffic noise guaranteed by ambulances to nearby hospital. Coffee at breakfast is - unbelievably for italy - worse than... More

We stayed there for one night just before flying back home the next day. When we arrived we saw a ugly building but we were happily surprised by th inside and rhe friendliness of the staff. Very comfortable and cheap rooms and a good breakfast. Ideal for staying in Bologna on a budget. Free internet, free bikes to go to... More

We chose the Maggiore in order to save a few euros after being in Venice as it was cheaper than the very central Bologna hotels and overall we were satisfied with our experience. The hotel itself albeit is in a reasonable location, the number 13 bus runs regularily from the hotel into the centre taking about 10 minutes and costing... More

We enjoyed our 4 night stay here and would go back. The room was clean, quiet, reasonable and had free Wi-Fi. The free breakfast was very good and nicely varied. The location is a couple of miles from Bologna center which is easily reached by the #113 bus - take it to Plaza Maggiore. The buses run, both ways, every... More

My husband fell ill with severe bronchitis while traveling in Tuscany. After a cancelled flight from Florence and a transfer to Bologna to fly home the following day, my husband's condition deteriorated quickly and he was put in the Oespedale Maggiore for a week. I was desperate for a hotel within walking distance and one of the doctors recommended the... More

We read several reveiws and consulted with others who had stayed in Bologna before selecting this hotel. We were not disappointed. The location was great, the staff friendly and helpful, and the price was very competitive for the City. The "delux rooms" (which we had for about 30 euro more) have a bit more space and views overlooking a plaza... More
