Part of the Star chain of hotels, the Bologna Excelsior is very North American in character. In other words, very comfortable but not a lot of charm. The décor of the first floor lobby of the hotel is in the style of a W Hotel, but perhaps made with cheaper materials and not as well maintained (scuff marks on the... more

I stayed at the Excelsior Bologna bcos it was right across the station and I had an early morning train to catch. The hotel is average with decent rooms but can be a bit overpriced. The breakfast was average but the service was good. Overall, a good experience. The hotel tops for location. Right across the station and a short... more

This hotel was fine but the location is not great (unless you want to get a train), a bit of a walk to the centre and the restaurants and bars. The staff were very helpful but the rooms were very standard chain hotel-like and the parking was a pain being not easy to find and we had to pay extra... more

We were totally satisfied with our reception and stay in this hotel. Very conveniently located (near station and 200m form main street) It delivered all that it promised and though the breakfast is not the most exciting, it is perfectly adequate. Our room, towards the back of the hotel, was very airy and perfectly quiet. No complaints at all. more

This hotel was nice but not quite as nice as we expected - the lobby, bar, and restaurant areas are beautiful as you can see from other people's photos, but our room wasn't quite as nice as we'd hoped. (The pictures on the website must be of executive rooms and suites etc.) Our main complaint was that our room was... more

A lovely hotel. Very quiet (room, although overlooking main street and central station, was double double glazed so we couldn't hear a thing). Friendly and efficient staff. Great bar and lounge area. Breakfast nothing special but perfectly adequate. Gym area a little small but again fine. Wished we could have stayed there longer! more

This hotel is located very close to r.w. station. Normal one for adequate price. Breakfasts would be improved ( it should be juice but not the colored water ). Rooms are clean, everything is working properly. Wife and LAN is available in room however under very high price = we used free public Wifi offering by Bologna government at their... more

We were here for two nights at the beginning of March, 2009. The hotel, luckily, was located directly across from the Bologna Centrale station as it was raining when we arrived and while we were there. Although I had booked a Superior room on-line, they upgraded us to a large junior suite facing the quiet south side because several pharmaceutical... more

This hotel is directly across the street from the train station, which makes it an IDEAL hub location (see map of Italy for Bologna's location) for traveling to other cities in any direction. The ring road around Bologna has frequent bus service in both clockwise and counter clockwise directions making the whole city easily accessible, these buses may be caught... more
