Room 305 on 3rd Floor. Terrace below our window off function room on second floor. On our 2nd of 3 nights the terrace had an "event" that involved loud loudspeakers playing very loud drum and bass music until midnight. Followed by half an hour of young people shouting goodbye and staff dragging tables and chairs across the terrace. Also the... More

Stayed here in May 2012. Superb location near the rail station, close to shops and restaurants. Also next to the park which is a haven on hot days. Staff are very friendly, rooms are spacious and comfortable. Will definitely stay here again.

We have just got back from a 4 night stay at the I Portici, and was impressed by the quality of the hotel and service for the price. The food was amazing, especially at the terrace which was a lovely place to sit on an evening. The staff were friendly, polite and helpful. We only dined in the main restaurant... More

I stayed at I Portici for 3 nights. The hotel is located in the center, close to everything including the train station. The rooms are modern and clean. I would have preferred if the shower had a movable head instead of a huge head on the ceiling (obviously designed by a man who does not care if he gets his... More

We stayed here for 2 nights with our kids in two separate rooms. The hotel is located 10 minutes from the main plaza in town. Not right downtown, but okay. It is located on a park with a playground for small children which worked well for us. Good reception staff. The rooms are bare, modern looking, but not luxurious. The... More

Before our arrival, we had been looking forward to a long weekend at i Portici. However, although dinner in the Michelin-starred restaurant could not be faulted in terms of the quality of the cuisine, the actual dining area itself lacked character and ambiance. I would also agree that the rooms are a little on the basic side. However, the real... More

How could you ask for more? Elegant, modern, very large rooms that are immaculate and clean beyond belief. The value is extraordinary! The location is perfect, walking distance to everything. We will absolutely stay here again.

The entrance and ground floor of this hotel is very modern and stylish. Our room however was rather basic. The room is large, but with only a bed and a table, nothing on the wall, not even a headboard is not to our taste. We didn't feel comfortable in the room, and the noise from the street is very loud... More

Location a breath away from stazione centrale and centrally located in the city. Elegant, friendly staff and spacious rooms. Even though I got a special price well below the usual price, I would say that value for money ratio is very good

Modernist, minimalist décor, but everything worked out fine for me. Centrally located, friendly staff, nice outdoor terrace with entrance to a public park. I got a rock bottom room rate, so it was a semi-posh stay at a Motel 6 price. Hint: they tell you breakfast is 15 euros and when you look shocked the price suddenly drops to 10.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your kind words. Indeed, Palazzo Maccaferri's location, with the Montagnola Park at the back and the Pincio terrace on the side is exclusive to us and has no equal in Bologna. As for the price of our Breakfast, it is justified by the fact that our jams, marmalades, muffins, croissants and cakes are all homemade... More
