After reviewing a variety of hotels in Bologna, I chose the Best Western San Donato because of its central location--all of the sites, caffes, and shops are just steps from the hotel. If you are debating about booking a hotel near the train station--this hotel is a much better option. There is free wifi in the lobby and bar area... more

Arrivied at Bologna Airport early morning and took a cab to the hotel: metered so no scams. Bologna is a student city and the day we arrived the students were revolting and marching en mass to the centre of town, blocking the way to the hotel. Taxi driver navigated narrow alleys to get us to a pedestrianised piazza in the... more

Wow, after trying to navigate the streets of Bologna in our rental car we were so relieved to stumble onto this place. They had parking, friendly helpful concierges, and most importantly open spacious rooms - and ours even had a great view of the Bologna skyline. Great value and walking distance to restaurants, shopping and all the highlights of the... more

We stayed here on our first night in Italy and the staff was very helpful and English speaking. The outdoor patio on the second floor offers a stunning view of Bologna. The bar right inside stayed open fairly late... more

Lovely hotel. It is very difficult to approach it during week-end - it is necessary to lower columns standing in way. But the most important thing - a view from hotel! Perfectly well! more

Our room on the second floor at the... more

Good central Hotel short walk from main square, pleasant staff ,clean & comfortable very pleasant bar & roof terrace, restaurants within walking distance. The only problem was poor lighting in the bedroom and the sound proofing, because of the ceramic floor could hear a lot of noise in the room above.( choose a room on the top floor.) more

The staff at this hotel were very friendly and welcoming. Martina, Mariana and Michele were at the front desk, always smiling with your key ready to hand to you. One warning...don't use their plastic laundry bag to put your dirty clothes in unless you WANT them laundered. We did and the next day and 52 Euros later, we had clean... more

Breakfast - plenty of choice to suit all, cooked breakfast was scrambled egg, bacon and sliced tomatoes. Suggest eating this on the sun terrace and watch the world go by. Rooms were very... more
