I spent much much deliberation on where to stay in Bologna, as it was my first time, and I was going for my 41st birthday celebrations with my husband. I will definately be back. It was perfect, because it is "literally" opposite the train station, which was fab because I wanted to not only get to know the City of... More

Extremely well situated across from train station, making it a perfect base for people traveling I the region or for business travelers. A little further from historic center, but Bologna is relatively small, so still manageable by foot. Rooms were nice, spacious, modern and clean.

Having read conflicting reviews about this hotel we took a chance and booked a room for 5 nights and have just returned home very happy indeed. This hotel has wonderful friendly staff who really go out of their way to help their guests, the room was spotless and the breakfast menu superb. Plenty of variation food-wise to please everyone.

The Starhotel Excelsior is located directly across from the train station, which is very convenient, even though the immediate area you have to walk through on the way to the main street to the city centre can be a little bit sketchy. I have been coming here for years on business and it's a nice modern hotel, but the room... More

Very happy with this hotel, particularly the location. It's literally just across the road from the train station and about 10 minutes on foot to the centre (Piazza Maggiore). Despite having a room looking at the train station and over a busy road, you could barely hear any traffic noise. Very impressed with the room with the little extras you... More

The airport bus stops in the piazza outside and this is where the train station is situated. The piazza is less than salubrious but don't let that put you off because the area is quiet and safe and only a few minutes walk from the centre. The double glazing meant it was very quiet. The restaurant and bar are OK... More

Our last visit was at the end of October beginning of November and we had a lovely time We were upgraded which was a bonus but we have always found the Hotel staff so helpful and polite. We always use the bar pre meal and this is a good... More

Starhotel Excelsior in Bologna is in a good location about 10 minutes walk from city centre and very close to train station and buses. It is spacious, very clean and very quite. In the area one feels very safe. Spacious room. Ours was on the 7th floor. Breakfast not to a four star hotel standard. Some of the reception personnel... More
