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.

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.

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.

Nothing to complain about
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.

Quiet & comfortable little hotel, conveniently located in the heart of Bologna. Very walkable too: Just 6 blocks from the main train station and 8 blocks from Piazza Maggiore and The Quadrilatero (with all of its great outdoor restaurants & shops).

The hotel could use a little make-over but it is centrally located. It is an easy 10-minute walk to the train station and about a kilometer away to Piazza Magggiore where the action is. The staff is polite and helpful.
