A pretty much standard hotel offering \"good\" accommodation whilst on a short trip to Bologna. Chosen partly with budget in mind but primarily location to the train station and city itself. The hotel is on a busy main road but the road noise wasn't an issue for us even through our room fronted the road. Breakfast was \"ok\" and saved us going out to look for places to eat, just made life easier but probably would go \"room only\" next time if we ever returned to this hotel. This is not a bad nor horrible hotel and it served us well and provided us with good accommodation.

The gentleman at check in was wonderful! We checked in around 10:30pm and he was friendly, upbeat and helpful. The hotel is 5 mins walk from the train station which was perfect after 7 hours on the train. The hotel room was large with a big bathroom and a bathtub which I appreciated. The bed was comfortable and we loved that each of us had 2 pillows. Breakfast was pretty good for the 10 euro price. It’s about a 15 min steady walk to the old town. Lots of shopping available along the way. All in all a great place to stay. We extended to stay a 2nd night.

Hotel was well located and near the central station, it is on a busy road, which means you can hear all the traffic at all hours. The Air conditioning wasn't working (apparently cant use it until 30/04/2026), but the heating does. It was 29c in our room so it was really unpleasant. Room was clean and decent size.

Breakfast was a buffet style with ample selection of different food. Hot fresh coffee and hot food options too.

The staff were really friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them. Can recommend as it's well located just 250 yards from Bologna central and just a 10/15 minute walk into the city centre. Nicely located for the Feria too just 2km away so you can either walk or catch a bus directly

Nice hotel, great location, lovely staff.

Only negative is that there was no AC at the time of our visit (staff said due to the law). You are on a main road so there is loud road noise and when you the window open to cool down the room, was showing 30 degrees when windows was closed! (very uncomfortable)

Asked about moving rooms to the back of the hotel away from the road, but was told we would have to upgrade our room as all standard rooms are road facing, upgrade was an extra €20 a night!

Overall, a pleasant stay, close enough to walk into the city centre but far enough away to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Bologna.

Great location, maybe not the best staff

The hotel is nice and in a great location if you don't have long in Bologna and want to be close to the train station. It is an easy 15 mins walk to the center and the room was extremely comfortable. However, I had found the price cheaper online and on arrival asked if they would respect the price. They said that was an error and the price was fixed, but if you look on their website it's 40 Euros cheaper. I have had this happen before and the hotel usually offers breakfast or matches the price but here they didn't want to hear anything and were quite rude at check-in.

Modern hotel very close to the central train station with level paving throughout the route... good for wheeled luggage!

Reception staff were very friendly and check in and out was quick and efficient. The hotel has a clean, modern feel throughout. My room was spacious and, despite using 'do not disturb' so that I could get up late one morning, the room was still serviced after I had left as late as just before midday that day!

The location is safe and, aside from other guests having conversations right outside my door and slamming their doors (not the hotel's fault; people are generally very selfish these days and lack etiquette), it was very quiet.

The shower was particularly spacious although the shower door functioning did make it hard not to flood the bathroom floor!

This is a good hotel and I highly recommend it.

Bad Luck or Bad Process?

There were 3 people checking when I arrived (around 11pm). I was annoyed at the thought I might have to wait 5 or 10 minutes before I could get my key. 45 minutes later, I was still waiting. When I did get a key, it did not work. I came down to be told I needed to wait for the next guest to check in - another 20 minutes! Eventually I was upgraded to a suite (which was decent) but all I needed was a clean bed as I was off at 6am the next morning. : (

Very convenient location for bus and train station. Staff friendly and room was comfortable and clean. However, dinner and lunch menu was confusing, nothing written down when we asked to see a menu. Apparently there is a set lunch and dinner but the waiter did not speak good English so we had difficuty communicating. We did had dinner which consisted of an appetizer, main dish and assorted deserts available. Breakfast was included with price of hotel, we arrived around 9 a.m. and found a buffet, eggs and sausage were cold, no one replenishing the table, breads and fruit looked as though they had put out from the previous evening. Coffee was available out of a machine. I would give low marks for the breakfast.

I had stayed here in the past a few years ago when it was called something different so thought I would stay here again. Unfortunately the experience was not as good. We had booked 4 rooms with twin beds and unfortunately it took us 2 hours to get through the check in process as they did not have enough staff on. They had not given us twin beds like we had booked and the rooms were extremely hot as they had not turned on the aircon for the building as they deemed it not Summer yet so sleeping at night meant you were either in a furnace as it was so hot or you had to open the windows and as most of the rooms face onto a very busy road you felt like you were sleeping on the road it was so noisy. They could easily fix some of these things and the hotel would have then got a higher rating but I won't be staying here again.

Worst hotel I have ever stayed in!

Awful experience in this hotel. Initial room was at front of hotel which was on main road and extremely noisy. I complained to reception staff who agreed to 'upgrade me' to a quieter room. Many issues with room including internet not being available in room (I had to work whilst staying at the hotel so only option was to work from hotel lobby), temperature not being able to be controlled from room resulting in room being way too warm, kettle provided with no milk or coffee (staff told me it was their policy to provide teabags only!) and tv not working. Walls extremely thin and due to the floorboards in rooms, evry step made bin other rooms nearby can be heard. I had two terrible nights sleep in this hotel. Breakfast also awful - cold coffee, cold eggs and bacon. Cereal and yoghurt only decent option. Nowhere near a 4 star hotel!

Hotel is in a good location but if you get a room facing the road is a bit noisy. Interestingly, the council does not allow AC before 15th of April so when we got there the room was quite hot. If you get a room facing the internal courtyard (lovely and quiet although 20 euros more expensive) then you can open the windows and cool off without suffering too much form the street noise.

Had to ask for cups at the bar as none replenished by the coffee machine. I had a fantastic stay but a little more attention to detail would have made my experience fantastic.

Ok hotel but a bit basic

The hotel was quite nice, but a bit basic. No tea and coffee making facilities in the room, so had to buy them at the bar, I asked for a cup of hot water as I had a teabag with me and was charged a euro for this, which I thought was a bit steep. They had a selection of all you can eat buffet in the evening, but being a vegetarian we thought there might not be enough for me, so we ate out. When we returned, the hotel was hugely busy so it is obviously a popular event, There was not much for vegetarians, so we had made the right decision, but there was a lovely atmosphere so we had a nice drink in the bar. There were quite a lot of cake and pastry desserts, which we saw were served the next day at breakfast time. Wouldnt probably go here if I wanted something special, but it was nice enough and good value, so would stay if I was in Bologna again. I think not being able to have a drink in your room was the worst thing, because it was so hot. Well placed to visit the city.

A perfect place to be in snowfilled Bologna

We were very satisfied about the hotel, it is very clean, stylish and reasonably priced. Unfortunately the weather was not great when we were in Bologna but the hotel offers Sky Sports, which meant we didn't have to leave to find a bar to watch the 6 nations, much appreciated :) The hotel is located at the beginning of the main road into the city centre, so we didn't spend more than 10 min to find a trattoria with excellent food. The staff at reception recommended where we should go, very polite and helpful. The breakfast was very good, with a lot of selection of cakes, breads and hot food. The only minus was the machine-made coffee as one gets used to the great coffee one can get in the bar. The only other minus was perhaps that the hotel bar could not make cocktails or that the gym was too small to be considered such but otherwise we had a fantastic stay at this onderful hotel

I had a good stay there and would stay there again. As with many hotels checkin was slightly clumsy, but the breakfast was good, wireless worked, staff were friendly, and the location is but a short walk from the central station. Overall it was excellent value for money, too.

Yuck

Way prettier on screen. In an ugly location. Very tacky decor, poor quality food for breakfast, bad wine at the bar at night. Funky clientele.Overall worst hotel of our stay.

Wishful Thinking

I only wish that all the hotels on our sojourn through Italy and Istanbul had been as nice as this hotel. The 4 Viale Masini Hotel was all one wants in a hotel--comfort, clean, great breakfast, a very good restaurant in the hotel for lunch or dinner, and a 5 minute walk from the train station in Bologna. All this and at reasonable and fair rates. How wonderful!

Nice modern hotel with amazing breakfast

Very modern hotel a few steps from train station. Amazing breakfast with huge selection of fresh fruit and other items. Very nice staff, aiming to please. It was very hot in Bologna, and we asked for ice several times (not usual for Europeans?) and they fixed us a bowl from the bar. The neighborhood around the train station is not the best, but walking to our hotel did not seem unsafe, even late at night. Lovely walk to city center under the porticos.

clean tidy hotel

Typical Italian city hotel. Very clean,tidy with efficient staff. Breakfast usual odd continental fayre - not to everyone's taste!

Rooms very clean with a/c. Nice shower/bathroom. Nothing tired or worn.

Ideal position for train st which is only 150m along the same road and only 15 minute easy walk into the centre of Bologna - a beautiful historic city! Lovely places to eat/drink. The city oozes class

Bologna

Very noisy entrance. No real restaurant service. Parking Garage did not exist. Had to park in piblic garage for 14 euro. Will not stay in the same hotel again. THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN BOLOGNA ARE EXTREMELY NICE AND HELPFUL.
