We spent two nights in the Palace Hotel. We chose it for the location as it is within walking distance to central Bologna. Bologna is full of history . It is a university town so there are loads of young people during the evening. Bologna is well known for good food, however it can be expensive. The hotel itself is... More

Threadbare tired rooms and surroundings, breakfast buffet poor due to not replenishing food or cups, if you go down to breakfast after 9, you'll have to wait for the slow service of replacing cups, cheese, ham etc Wouldn't stay again!

I stayed here for 1 night and found the hotel needs some money spent on it. Ok older hotels can have some charm, but there was no charm here. My room was basic, bed uncomfortable, tv had lots of 'missing channels' and bathroom was tiny. Breakfast was ok. The plus side is that hotel is ideally located in the centre... More

The hotel is located right in the old town and is very esay to access the main sights as well as all the restaurants and bars close to the hotel. The main square is also a close walk from the hotel. The only downside is the breakfast at the hotel which is not very good at all there is no... More

We traveled to Bologna in low season, hence we had a good deal from the hotel. 41 EUR one night is a decent price for a hotel in Bologna. I would've imagined the hotel was once before a grand hotel although now its decor's a bit out-dated. But it managed to maintain all facilities and cleanliness very well. Double room... More

Hotel Palace has a unique, old world feel. As you enter, you see a check in desk straight out of the 1930's. They still use boxes for mail and keys for the doors (not cards or pass codes). The staff were always friendly and always helpful and had very little trouble communicating in English. The rooms are not modern. The... More

Been there 1 night in december 2012. Location is the plus, situated in downotown. They also got an indoor garage (about 20€ per day). Price for single room + breakfast is conveniet = around 50eu. On the other side Hotel is very old and "vintage", but of course clean.

Yes, the hotel is not very special one, but... it is really in the heart of Bologna in a small, quiet alley , so everything is within a reach. The neighbourhood is great, the hotel building is historic and marvellous... La Piazza del Nettuno and the Cathedral are across the street... We were two years in the same hotel, because,... More

The hotel itself looks like it is an old hospital that was renoed in the 70's to become a hotel. Kinda scary. The room smelled like smoke/dog, however was clean otherwise. The staff were not very efficient, serving others who arrived after us, even despite our heavy luggage and apparent position in queue. Everything was just ok.
