I read the reviews here and a few of them made me doubt my choice of the I Portici. I would be arriving in a warmer period and wanted a comfortable stay. I got a good rate and decided to take a chance and I was very very lucky indeed. There were a few people checking in when I arrived... more

I stayed in this hotel in June 2008 with my boyfriend and we were really upset about our acommodation in here. We spent 150$ each one per night for staying in a bedroom pretty small and with no decoration at all. Bologna is a really hot city almost in June and there was no air conditioning in our room, We... more

My friends and i went here just after the newyear, and it was nothing short of dreadful. Arriving at the lobby i was taken aback-i had never stayed at an ultra modern hotel and thought it looked quite nice and that it was balanced out with the lovely entrance. thats where it ends. I was shocked when the staff did... more

It was very difficult to find a hotel that we wanted to stay in while planing our trip for Bologna. We are fans of a more modern and clean aesthetic and there was a paucity of hotels like this in Bologna. For that matter, there were not many hotels to choose from at all! Having found I portici, we booked... more

You would expect some help with your luggage in a four star hotel, but there was none. The room service was dreadful, i ordered a lasagna, and all i had was a microwaved half burned tasteless pasta. In the bathroom there was no room for even a small toiletry bag. Finally, cherry on the cake, in spite of four people... more

Once you have entered the modern lobby through the historical arcades, enjyoing the contrast between old and new, the staff make you welcome from the start and see to it that checking in and having your car parked in the hotel's own parking lot is a breeze. We liked the stylish minimalist decor in the well-appointed quiet room (and marble... more

HOtel is beautiful, ultra modern and very clean> We stayed in Aug for 1 night and asked for a quiet room since we just flew into Italy that day. The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop and very large for European standards. What impressed us the most was the ultra modern decor, The style was minimalist... more

My husband and I enjoyed two nights at I Portici and would gladly stay there again if we return to Bologna. The charming desk clerk (one of many) gave us one of the gorgeous rooms with high, hand-painted ceilings. Although the room was on the busy Via dell'Indipendenza, the windows' soundproofing was extremely effective. Great view of beautiful buildings across... more

Rating this beautiful hotel was hard. The place has stunning rooms and the building overall is impressive. HOWEVER, the rooms have a new energy saving air conditioning system that cannot compensate for a hot day in Bologna. The rooms were very warm and humid and the A/C did not effectively cool the space. We tried all of the tricks we've... more

I'm really sorry about your accommodation. Normaly we don't have complain about a/c. There was probably a problem with that room. I hope next time will be the experience we want our guests to leave. Riccardo Bacchi Reggiani
