Despite the unattractive surroundings and outside aspect of the building, the hotel feels nice, and the rooms are spacious and clean. The staff at reception is friendly and helpful. The location was ideal for the business trip, within walking distance from the office I was visiting. The connection to the city center is easy with the bus service, and the... More

The hotel on arrival is not that attractive, but the rooms are spacious, very clean and have everything you need. The staff are welcoming and very helpful. Excellent value for money. A little way from the City centre, approx 6-8 euro for a taxi. Within walking distance if you are fit!

I stayed here for my one night in Bologna so I could be close to the Airport. The hotel is inbetween the airport and the centre of Bologna so it has good connections - buses run frequently on the road it is on into the center of town. First impressions are not great as the building looks very run down,... More

Dear Sirs, We are pleased that you have chosen Bologna and Hotel Maggiore to celebrate your anniversary. For this particular recurrence our slogan “ Feel at Home “ was really indicated.... Your stay coincided with a group of tourists and certainly our spaces, not really huge, result even smaller and our services a little slower. We know that you understand... More

We stopped for two nights (Fri and Sat) in March 2012. We arrived early evening on Friday and the manager helped us find parking as hotel car park was full. Quick, friendly check in. Room was well equipped with dressing gowns, slippers, soaps etc. Very comfortable and warm, although hard, oversized pillows. Extremely clean too. Breakfast was also good; a... More

I did a reservation on their website in which was clearly specified "payment at hotel". After several emails with their reception desk we could not confirm our reservation because they said it was a "total pre payed reservation" so they had to charge the total amount of the reservation on my credit card. After my compaints, they said they needed... More

Dear Sir, As we tried to explain you directly, we together were victims, unfortunately, of the complicated web world mechanisms . The conditions of prepayment were very clear in the Best Western website and mysteriously missing from the site you selected. It was not your fault nor ours and we are really sorry for all problems you had with it... More

The outside of the building is not very inviting but the rooms are tidy and comfortable, the staff is friendly, buffet breakfast is very good, they have free parking and it is conveniently located 10 minutes from the airport and the entrance of the highway. I stayed here several times and I would definitely go back.

This hotel is located not far from beautiful San Luca and it takes about 30min to get to the downtown on foot(or 5 min by taxi) and 10 min to get to the Marconi airport. Check-in procedure didn't take much time, the receptionist was very friendly. I had a very nice view from my window, the room was clean and... More

At 150 euros per night (during a book fair) this was very poor value: I wish we had stayed at the airport or further out. It would be OK at half the price as a stopover, but little else. Lots of traffic noise guaranteed by ambulances to nearby hospital. Coffee at breakfast is - unbelievably for italy - worse than... More
