Very good

When I arrived I was told that I would be staying at another hotel due to hotel construction. The hotel staff said they sent me a message which I showed them I never received. I was escorted to a hotel that was $10 less than what I had paid for my original hotel. The hotel staff at the Holiday Hotel is rude, the toilet is broken, and the electronics keep making loud noises.

Hotel is old and need renovations in some area. Staircase has funny noise when walking on it. Did not expect hotel to be that worn down. I had booked 2 rooms, the more expensive room I booked is not much better than the cheaper one, only extra snacks on the table. Despite all these unfavorable conditions. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
This hotel was NOT good… we checked in and went to shower only to find out the shower doesn’t drain at all, you can shower for 1 minute max and then it takes 5-7 minutes to drain. Notified the hotel immediately and nothing was fixed in the 3 days we were there. The room had a balcony but the metal rolling cover over it was broken so we couldn’t use it or get any airflow in the room. They were also doing renovations on the floor above ours (which we weren’t notified about in advance) so we paid full price for a room where there was EXTREMELY loud construction from 8 am until 6 pm every day we were there. Nothing about this hotel was relaxing or comforting… we were miserable while we were there. If the room had been refundable we would have moved to another hotel.

They advertised breakfast, but didn't deliver. It was close to everything, so we didn't go hungry.

Quick stop point
Just a quick stop for us, we had our room changed as it offered better WiFi, apparently not great service throughout the hotel. Our room was tiny but as it was just one night it was fine.
I do not agree with the complains of other guests. My superior room 514 was spacious, clean and had a stunning view over the Old Town. I had an electric kettle to make tea and coffee. Nothing was broken. The room was really quiet. The staff will surpass your expectations. The hotel is expensive but very well located so I was happy with my choice.

Good for the night on a budget
The hotel is in a great location of Bologna. Hotel staff is very nice and available 24/7. Shower heat and water pressure was good. Bed and pillows a bit hard but manageable. Unfortunately, there was a lot of noise from the room above and from the neighborhood in the early hours of the morning 4-5am. If you are a very light sleeper you may need to avoid. Otherwise, this is an economical convenient choice if you’re on a budget.

Very bad area of Bologna, hotel doesnt have parkin
very bad area, someone tried to break into our car and smashed the window.
we were told there was no space in the private parking, even if we asked to reserve online via hotels.com.
terrible experience
Small hotel just 3 rooms per floor, 6 floors. Super quiet, an old building but perfectly maintained. The staff was amazing, friendly smiles, and eager to help. I will definitely return to this beautiful hotel. Thank you
Good location & great receptionists but no comfort
Great location both near station and into centre. Nice area with lots of restaurants, cafes, shops and supermarkets nearby. Both Andrea and Roberto at reception were very helpful, friendly and the best part of the hotel. The rest not so good. I asked twice for a double bed and I received two beds joined together with a gap between. The shower was so small I could barely get inside and could not move once inside. Gets the award for the smallest shower I have ever seen. If you are a big person it will not work for you. Hotel was very clean and the room was spotless. I think hotel would be great if it had a good renovation
Wifi constantly down and constantly noise from 5th floor (guests were moving furnitures in the middle of the night). However, it’s very quite from the street and the room was exception clean and cozy
Located on a quiet side street close to Bologna Central station, clean bedroom and bathroom. Staying overnight after flying in before an onward train journey. Helpful reception staff.
It was close to the centre of city. Smelly, noisy very dated, no coffee. But, clean beds and bathroom and terrific shower. Would not recommend to Canadians. And it was quite expensive. No English TV. Staff pleasant.
