We did not have AC. We were told they are not allowed to turn the AC on in Balogna until May. The room was very hot . The room was very nice. It looked newly remodeled very nicely.
The breakfast was pretty nice. Alot of road construction for transit going on. Overall I would say it is pretty nice. Im assuming when they are allowed to turn on the AC it will be alot cooler in the room

Super friendly staff and all of them very helpful, helped with directions to the Ducati museum, which bus to take downtown, selling bus tickets in the lobby and the morning cappuccinos! Very quiet and beds were perfectly firm. Location was very good for our activities and there was a very good restaurant nearby.

This hotel is over 3 km away from city center and the train station. We walked the distance and with luggage which was not easy but definitely doable. The area looked sketchy but but maybe it is normal for locals. We used the free bikes to ride to San Luca and then to city center which was cool. Hotel was ok but even triple room felt cramped.

This property was great. Not close to the centre of the city but a short bus ride (#13 bus) got us there quick. You can buy bus tickets at the front desk, or on the bus directly. The staff treated us great! The rooms are very spacious, very well kept, and super clean. A bit on the older side but still nice and big. No pool. No balcony. They brought us a baby crib with extra towels for the children which was very nice. No breakfast offered but there is a mall close by (near the bus stop) with a GREAT cafe to eat at. The mall also has a grocery store. Overall we enjoyed our stay. We would return here in the future. kid/family friendly resort.

This property is very clean, the front desk staff are very friendly and accommodating and will do anything they can to help you. The room is comfortable with a nice sized bathroom (which we found isn’t always the case in some hotels in Italy). The property also has an on-site laundry room where guests can do their own laundry. There is also a grocery store and great little restaurant within a short walking distance of the hotel. Although this property is about 2 miles from the city center, the bus stop is only 1/2 block away, making it very easy to access the city center. The only negative is the bed pillows were a bit too hard for our tastes...but we would definitely stay there again.

A very charming property, Hotel Maggiore Bologna was the perfect choice for our four-person party at the end of our trip to Italy. Front desk staff were absolutely welcoming, as well as professional. The rooms were set up with everything we would need for the evening, and were very clean and tidy. There are a few restaurants within walking distance, and we went to one of the three recommended by the hotel and enjoyed our dining experience there. In the morning, staff rang a taxi for us, and we were able to get to the airport in a timely manner. Grazie mille.

This hotel has great local transport links with bus stops either side of the hotel on the main road into town and is a short taxi ride (c.10 euro) from the bus/train station and airport. There is an Areobus stop not far from hotel on the way in/from town.Regular bus tickets are available to buy (1.5 euro) from the hotel reception on a use or return basis. It has friendly, clean but slightly dated decor, a small bar, free wifi and friendly reception staff...we didn't go to breakfast but is smelt great! The rooms aren't quiet however and we were woken by sirens in the early morning (around 6am) that we presumed came from the nearby hospital clinic. There's a great bar and a couple of restaurants/pizzeria down the road, as well as a large supermarket type mall to check out.

This is not a five star hotel, however it is very clean, accomodating, and convenient.

A single line ran me to most places I wanted to be. I loved the restaurants nearby and having a supermarket within a block. The refrigerator was a life saver.

Breakfast was so-so, but adequate. The wifi is a bit aggravating if navigating more than one page, but was free (check your particular reservation to be sure). The walls are pretty thin, but I didn't have but one night of noisy neighbors out of 2 weeks. Pretty good for the price I got.
