Greeted very warmly by the front desk. Check-in was handled very efficiently and with many smiles. Room was large relative to other small European hotels we've visited. Bed very comfortable and room well lit with good bedside reading lights. Breakfast was average. Very convenient to the crazy streets of old town Bologna.

A good start was that the second Aerobus stop in the Via dell'Indipendenza is very close to the hotel, so it's not necessary to go on to the railway station, even though it's only a 10-minute walk away. (Note that the bus returns to the airport by a different route; if you join it near the hotel you may get... More

This is a good value hotel which is in a great location, we arrived early as we were going to a football match and the guy on reception was happy for us to leave our bags and arrainged a taxi for us. Rooms were clean and there was a good selection for breakfast.

I liked very much this hotel. It has everything you need and a very good price. It has a very good location, near to Piazza Maggiore, to the center. The room was very cosy, very clean, with a very, very big bed.The bathroom the same. The staff was very kind. The breakfast was very varied, with ham, 2 kinds of... More

This is a Budget hotel but the staff were very good,the room was very clean and its right in the middle of the old town. Only complaint I could make is that the walls are very thin(I could hear...

It was ok. Not great but not bad. It worked for being in a good location and right in between the train station and the city center. Breakfast was unimpressive but good. As for the cleanliness I did notice some not so great cleaning in the bathrorom and in the room. But the bed was clean. Not soft or hard... More

Bologna is a great place as a base to visit other towns in the area and with the train station just a ten minute walk away this was easy. The hotel is what I would call pretty average, staff were quite helpful and breakfast was sufficient. I was charged extra for a towel to dry my hair, which annoyed me,... More

Reviews like this are always subjective and should be treated as such. That said, I would recommend The Holiday Hotel to anyone who is planning a short break in Bologna. Right in the heart of the city, it is an ideal base to work from. Although central, the hotel is very quiet at night so sleeping was not a problem.... More

First, the positives: 1. Location is a couple minute walk from the main shopping street in Bologna. 2. Clean room, comfortable bed ( though a single, I was given a double room). 3. Staff is very helpful and friendly. 4. Hotel's three-car parking garage across the small street from the entrance was quite affordable. Second, the negatives: 1. Room 307... More
