Bologna hotels near Oratorio di Santa Cecilia

Pros: Breakfast not so ;;good. Buses outside hotel to the centre was v. useful

Pros: Clean room , but seems smaller than I saw in picture.

Cons: I would recommend to put hair conditioner to the shower!! Also, my cloth all wrinkled and no iron to use only as a additional service.

Pros: Location

Pros: Location for Station is perfect. Despite it being on the main road it is quiet at night and really only noticeable when the city wakes up. The rooms are large and comfy. Breakfast is a good spread. The Staff are courteous and professional, and genuinely seem happy to be of service. The Hotel is just a short walk from restaurants and cafe's.

Cons: The bar is pricey

Pros: Good front office and bell staff as very helpful.

Cons: I think you should offer complimentary water to guest and include at least a continental breakfast.

Pros: staff always helpful

Cons: not enough sockets in the room; fitness facility was tiny, with hardwood floors

Pros: Lobby and restaurant were lovely and updated, unfortunately that's not where you actually stay.

Cons: Rooms were terribly outdated and dirty with stained carpets that goes half way up the wall... nothing like the lobby. Staff is rude. Would never stay here again.

Cons: The bar prices were VERY expensive

Cons: It’s the service not the property. After travelling for nearly 3 months this the Ist time that the breakfast was not up to standard of other hotels. The morning fruit salad or even just the pieces of fruit were sub standard. Should not have been served. Already fermenting.

Pros: Location ..

Cons: The front office lady .. bad tempered...

Pros: I liked the general cleanliness of the hotel and room. Very well managed and executed by very able staff.

Cons: I thought the breakfast was poor. Great ingredients but poorly presented and managed.

Pros: Good location for travelling, opposite train station, Airport bus across the road, easy walk to historical area of Bologna. Nice meals area, and breakfast, everything you needed there.

Pros: Perfect location!

Pros: very nice hotel for a one night stopover. great value for money. parking was super easy as well

Pros: Quiet hotel off the main road yet only a 5 minute walk to the train station and 15 minute walk to the center of the old city. Beds were very comfortable and the room was very clean.

Cons: Room service is only available during restaurant hours and there is a hefty room service fee.

Pros: Good choice at breakfast. Very clean room and bed very comfortable

Cons: Hot water only tepid on two of the days we were there.

Pros: Location and the king size bed

Pros: Lovely spacious clean room. Great bathroom.

Cons: An outside private space for guests to relax after lots of city sightseeing would be nice. If there was one we didn’t see it advertised.

Pros: CLEAN and VERY WELL maintained ROOM. STAFFs @ the FRONT DESK were FRIENDLY and very HELPFUL (Thank Q). LOCATION is GREAT, walking distance to many local attractions and Bologna Centrale railway station - is just a few minutes walk from the hotel.

Cons: NOT a big deal BUT the CHECK-IN experience @ the front desk - NEED more staffs coverage during mid-day (taking a LOT LONGER than expected). Nonetheless, STAFFs were PROFESSIONAL and very POLITE.

Pros: Proximity to the train station

Cons: The hotel is extremely dated, and we were placed in a smoking room, which we didn't even realize still existed. The room smelled disgusting, and we had to keep the window open to circulate the air...and also to cool us down because the heat setting in the room was unbearable and not adjustable.

Pros: Location is great- very short walk from the railway station and very adjacent to the road into the main square with easy walking distance to it. Hotel was excellent- friendly and professional staff, Room was very comfortable with good view to from the front of the hotel to the Pincio steps and remains of the Papal place and no noise from what is a very busy thoroughfare during day and night. If I visit Bologna again, would certainly look to stay at the hotel as first choice- no question

Cons: Can't think of anything from my personal experience.

Pros: Location, cleanness, comfort, good noise insulation, soft pillows

Cons: I expected slippers and kettle in the room, but there were no.

Pros: The room size was good for Italy

Cons: Our room smelled like sewage, the safe was weird (you had to unlock it with a credit card)

Pros: I like its location and the comfort.

Cons: Small elevator.

Pros: Nice Hotel, 10 min walk from the city center. Room had a generous size, with hardwood floors, comfortable beds, and was very quiet despite the fact that the hotel was located on a busy street. Turn down service was provided. Hotel has a nice restaurant and bar with very friendly staff and a beautiful outside terrace.

Cons: Despite the big room and anteroom, the bathroom was tiny and very dark with only one light source and hardly any shelf space to place toiletries. The room itself was nice and bright but the furniture was a bit worn and the exercise bike in one corner didn’t do anything to make the room look more inviting. No coffee maker, just a kettle and instant coffee (in Italy!!!). At breakfast it was a bit difficult to get the attention of the staff to order coffee.

Pros: Great staff and location! The F&B outlets are a great plus! Good value for the rate. Beautiful place!

Pros: The hardwood floors, simplistic room decor, and friendly staff.

Cons: The bathroom was dirty. There was mold and mildew in the grout. There was also a dried line of something brown under the toilet bowl. It took 2 hours to get an iron and ironing board.

Cons: Booked a double room for single occupancy but was given a single room.

Pros: Reception staff gave us a wonderful suggestion for late lunch. Room was spacious, bed very comfortable. Quite a grand feel to the place. Close to the station and the centre of town. Would stay again.

Pros: The hotel (hotelroom) was excellent. This is very positive in this hotel. Location is great!

Cons: The food and beverage (restaurants) are horrible. Food is so so, and the service is clearly bad. Hospitality is poor. Attention of staff is not existent.

Pros: Great hotel and location! Staff was attentive and helpful! Charging for shampoo, etc is a bid strange....also no complimentary water....? Nevertheless I shall return when back in Bologna!

Cons: See above

Pros: Great location, great breakfast, helpful friendly staff.

Cons: Nothing, all was first class

Pros: It was in a great location, close to the station and a short walk into the centre. The Michelin star restaurant was fantastic as was the terrace bar.

Cons: The room was quite small and the bathroom was basic.

Pros: Excellent hotel, really nice rooms (mine was #216) with a really high, 4 meter ceilings. Highlights: Free-of-charge orange presser for having as much TRUE FRESH orange juice. Secondly, Really powerful refrigerator in the room: also my own drinks were cold in a short time. There was also valet-parking available for 24e / night. which worked really well. We were offered a welcome drink their bar. Hotel is located in the more peaceful part of the city, with only in a 2 minute walking distance to night-life/restaurants.

Cons: nothing really!

Pros: Good location close to train station. Good breakfast.

Cons: There are significant differences in size of rooms of the same category

Pros: Great location on Via dell'Indipendenza (the main road between the old city & train station) making it easy to navigate when you first arrive ; about 10 minutes walk to Piazza Maggiore and likewise 10 minutes walk to the train station. Friendly & helpful staff. Great value for money & would thoroughly recommend to anyone visiting Bologna.

Pros: The hotel was clean and the location was great!

Cons: I had booked a room with a sofa bed and the receptionist gave a us room without. I had to double check my booking and show it to them to have them move us to the correct room.

Pros: The breakfast was ok but poor selection of fresh fruit and the worst coffee and fruit juices ever !! Location was good for sightseeing.

Cons: The air conditioning in the room was awful, it was so stuffy and hot it was difficult to sleep at night.

Cons: Breakfast service very poor

Pros: Very good location, nice size room and bathroom, comfy bed. Above average breakfast.

Cons: Street noise sometimes obvious and construction/repairs to nearby building contributed but tolerable for us.

Cons: This hotel has one serious thing to complain about which dramatically affects comfort of staying. Its air conditioning system doesn't work at all. The apparatus in the room blew out warm air which according to hotel staff was "no more than 25 C". In all other rooms I tried to change for the situation was identicall. It was very hard to stay in the room, it was very hard to sleep in it, no relief after coming from the street, considering that temperature in Bologna during my stay was up to 35 C, etc. It's pointless to discuss other things regarding comfort of staying if basic physiological conditions aren't met. Hotel staff provided poor explanation that the problem was because of the high temperature outside. However, at the reception air conditioning was good, shops in the buildings next to the hotel didn't experience any problems, and hotel in Agrigento where I stayed last year also had no problems with air conditioning though temperature was higher than 40 C. The situation didn't improve even after temperature in the city became around 27 C indicating hardware problems. The minor issue was that on one day maid didn't change the towels and just hanged again used ones and didn't do bath accessories refreshment. Don't recommend this hotel at all despite any its advantages. Luckily Bologna is small with plenty of choices.

Pros: The location of the hotel, the very friendly staff.

Pros: I liked the location and some of the staff were good also the breakfast was generous

Cons: The bed was very hard and the pillows were the worst, just exactly like rocks. The AC was pathetic, my room was like an oven so I moved to another as the porter said the AC was broken in my room. There was not much improvement so finally the third day they gave me an electric fan. Very noisy but it helped somewhat. I am returning home very underslept and with a very stiff neck from the dreadful pillows

Pros: The hotel was excellent, clean, good staff, very good breakfast. We had a corner room at the front a beautiful room The hotel is about 800metres from the train station and about the same to Piazza Maggiore so easy walking distance to all the major attractions and restaurants

Pros: Quirky hotel tucked away in a cool courtyard.great breakfast,super helpful staff.

Pros: Room comfy and clean, parking in the courtyard, perfect breakfast!!!

Cons: Wi-Fi did not work, but it was not really a problem ;)

Pros: The hotel is just north of the station so it is in a very quiet neighborhood but then easy walking distance to the center. The breakfast and air-conditioning were both amazing. The staff was extremely helpful and the taxi to the airport (which they reserved and arrived very quickly) was only 18 euro.

Pros: Decor Close to station Affordable

Pros: Excellent breakfast...lots of choice

Cons: A little far from centre but handy for train station

Pros: Good location Friendly staff

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Mary was lovely and the main gentleman at the front desk was also very helpful. The breakfast was wonderful. The location was great for easy access via bus or walking into the centre of Bologna. The nearest amenities were also good, with a nice takeaway, cafe, restaurants and corner shop all delivering some local excellence. The hotel was also generous around check-out, too.

Cons: The room was tiny and the balcony was covered in bird poo. The air con also didn't work well and the lowest room temperature we could achieve was 25C. The room fridge was also poor; very small and not very cold. The Spa was also a little disappointing, with the shower broken and the Turkish Bath not very hot, and running out of energy if you used the jacuzzi function more than twice.

Pros: Great location and clean comfortable hotel. Breakfast was good, wide choice on the buffet. Helpful staff

Cons: Only problem was really strong sewer smell from shower in both rooms I stayed in (at either end of my trip) shame as the bathroom was obviously new and clean. Forgot the U bend??

Cons: Bit bad isolation between the rooms so heard the next door neighbours fight.... Slightly awkward so for everyones sake keep the volume down.
