Top San Donato Hotel Reviews

Savhotel Fiera Bologna

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved my time at SavHotel. The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. Best breakfast buffet I have ever had and comfy, clean rooms. 10/10."

Hotel Metropolitan

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Metropolitan Hotel in Bologna was excellent! Early check-in was happily accommodated, and the staff were very helpful in storing our luggage for our late flight departure. The rooftop terrace was fantastic and a perfect place to relax. Service was outstanding from check-in through breakfast and throughout our stay. A wonderful experience overall,"

Hotel Palace Bologna Centro

8/10 Good

"Very good location, Very good breakfast.. Clean Classic Double bedroom with good bedroom and bathroom facilities and linen but bathroom problem (see further). Helpful and hardworking staff, particularly very efficient and friendly breakfast ladies, chamber maids and Reception staff. However: my bathroom (Room 101) smelled badly of bad drains. I was told it happened when it rained - though there had been no rain. I was given a spray to help but the smell returned every day. Also there was a terrible smell on the 1st floor which apparently was ongoing. So, the hotel needs to deal with what seems like embedded problems on the 1st floor. I don’t know if other floors or bedrooms have the same problems. Also hotel is run down in several areas with stained and very worn carpets on the stairs and in my bedroom, and dingy/gloomy staircase whose walls need to be painted. The owners need to spend some money on the hotel and not just rely on good staff and occupancy"
