Brand new hotel with excellent staff

Literally just opened the day before so a couple of small issues which were dealt with promptly but will definitely be ironed out soon. Staff were excellent, very attentive and friendly. Great hostel/hotel with a good vibe. I’m sure it will only get better with time. Highly recommend a stay here for all ages.

Great location!

We had a great stay at this hotel.
The staff were so friendly and very helpful especially Andrea Arru.
We did arrive when the hotel was under renovations which really did not affect our rooms and they were speedy quick doing the renovations elsewhere.
The restaurant was not open while we were there, which would of been nice.
The location of the hotel was perfect for walking.
Definitely recommend

When I arrived I was told that I would be staying at another hotel due to hotel construction. The hotel staff said they sent me a message which I showed them I never received. I was escorted to a hotel that was $10 less than what I had paid for my original hotel. The hotel staff at the Holiday Hotel is rude, the toilet is broken, and the electronics keep making loud noises.

Hotel is old and need renovations in some area. Staircase has funny noise when walking on it. Did not expect hotel to be that worn down. I had booked 2 rooms, the more expensive room I booked is not much better than the cheaper one, only extra snacks on the table. Despite all these unfavorable conditions. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

This hotel was NOT good… we checked in and went to shower only to find out the shower doesn’t drain at all, you can shower for 1 minute max and then it takes 5-7 minutes to drain. Notified the hotel immediately and nothing was fixed in the 3 days we were there. The room had a balcony but the metal rolling cover over it was broken so we couldn’t use it or get any airflow in the room. They were also doing renovations on the floor above ours (which we weren’t notified about in advance) so we paid full price for a room where there was EXTREMELY loud construction from 8 am until 6 pm every day we were there. Nothing about this hotel was relaxing or comforting… we were miserable while we were there. If the room had been refundable we would have moved to another hotel.

Good for the night on a budget

The hotel is in a great location of Bologna. Hotel staff is very nice and available 24/7. Shower heat and water pressure was good. Bed and pillows a bit hard but manageable. Unfortunately, there was a lot of noise from the room above and from the neighborhood in the early hours of the morning 4-5am. If you are a very light sleeper you may need to avoid. Otherwise, this is an economical convenient choice if you’re on a budget.

Great location both near station and into centre. Nice area with lots of restaurants, cafes, shops and supermarkets nearby. Both Andrea and Roberto at reception were very helpful, friendly and the best part of the hotel. The rest not so good. I asked twice for a double bed and I received two beds joined together with a gap between. The shower was so small I could barely get inside and could not move once inside. Gets the award for the smallest shower I have ever seen. If you are a big person it will not work for you. Hotel was very clean and the room was spotless.

I don't take pleasure in writing a poor review of this hotel because the staff seemed to do their best and it's their livelihood to work there but it was a big mistake booking this place and I did so based on the number of 10/10 ratings which must be fake reviews or written by travelers with low expectations.
We realized within minutes of checking in that there were issues: a tiny room, a rock hard bed, a small and cheap shower enclosure, and no closet.
I quickly returned to the front desk and asked if we could check out due to it not being to our expectations. The pleasant gentleman informed me that it was too late to reverse the charge since we had checked in already but we could check out the next day instead of staying for two nights so I accepted that and we soon went out sightseeing and for dinner.
Overnight we found the room to have thin walls. We could hear a baby crying intermittently from somewhere down the hallway and at one point someone must have been having an issue getting their door to latch because they slammed it shut about five times in a row.
On the positive side the room was clean and the hotel is in a decent location.
The next night we checked into the nearby I Portici hotel which was only about $100 more per night but a massive upgrade in terms of quality, style, condition, vibe, etc. and it was well situated on the main street so no need to walk down quiet side streets late at night.

OK hotel in good location

Room was a good size and the bathroom was large, but this may have because it was equipped for a wheelchair guest. Decor rather tired. Needs investment.
No food at this hotel and no tea/coffee making facilities in the room.
Immediate area location of the hotel is downmarket, but the train station is only 10-15 minutes walk and it is only a similar time to walk to the sights in the historic centre. 5 minutes from the main shopping street and lots of restaurants. A good location for a tourist hotel.

Somewhat Okay, with glitches

We stayed 4 nights in Sep 2019. The entire stay, the air conditioning did not work, was under maintenance. The first 2 nights we couldn't sleep in the 80+ degree stuffy room. The 2nd major downside was there are absolutely no free electrical outlet in the room. One has to UNPLUG the TV or lamp, which made it dark. These days it is a must to provide suitable outlets in room to charge camera batteries, laptop etc. The included breakfast from 7-10 was hard to get a table after 8am. The 1 lady cleaning the tables did a good job but was stressed out and overburden with duties. This is the fault of hotel management for that. The staff seems short handed with all the work.
Otherwise the location was 15-20 minute walk to town center. Hotel has 1 elevator, that maintenance uses also, so prepare to account for that.

Enjoyable stay at this hotel. Excellent location, close to all amenities but in a quiet area. We had a superior double which had plenty of space and a very comfortable bed. Bathroom had a bath and separate shower. The room was air conditioned which was very welcome in the heat but it leaked and the dripping through the night was a little disturbing. Took a day to get repaired as it was a sunday when we reported it. The 30 degree heat may have also been the cause of a stale smell in the bathroom when we first got the room.
