The hotel staff was helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast had a good variety of hot and cold items. On site parking is limited, however there is public parking across the street. Staff called taxi for us and they came right to front door within a few minutes.

There is plenty of nice restaurants with outside sitting (take streets behind hotel towards old city) that are open late. Hotel and room were clean. Staff speaks English, and very helpful. Breakfast and internet... More

Hotel was clean and staff helfpul and friendly. It is a good twenty minute walk into the old city. Mostly under cover thanks to the arcades which are welcome both as shelter from the rain and sun. Beware the food considering Bologna is advetised as the gastronomic centre of the region the hotel offering is poor. Breakfast plentiful I would... More

The rooms are huge and have equipped kitchen area and breakfat bar with stools. Road outside is busy but double glazing cut out all the... More

It was very easy and cheap to get from BLQ airport to hotel by bus (6EUR). I get off on bus stop Ospedale Maggiore and next continue about 500 m same direction. There is a big hotel sign on the building so it was easy to find the hotel. But to find the hotel door was a rebus. Entrance is... More

Just returned from staying at the Grand Elite. It represents good value for money. It's clean, the staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good, although there was a lack of jam/marmalade and fresh fruit. It's a very dark hotel, mainly due to the dark wood panelling. It could do with a make-over. The TV channels are very limited,... More
