We didn’t know what to expect but we were pleasantly impressed! Leonardo checked us in and also gave us great restaurant recommendations. We got to our Jr Suite and it was spacious with a brand new bathroom, lots of closet space and an oversized king bed. We had breakfast included and it was delicious, a great way to start the day.

Parking was a breeze, safe, and ample. Our room - junior suite - was spacious and very clean, with a fully stocked minibar. Breakfast is incredible, although it would have been nice to know that we could order an omelette a la carte. (We found out the last day.) Fried, scrambled, boiled eggs. Meats. Yogurt. Fruits breads cheeses. Almost any breakfast item you can imagine. The hotel restaurant is very good, although mainly meat based with a limited menu, but there are a couple of fish and vegan options. We were disappointed that they don’t allow dogs in the restaurant, even if the hotel itself is very pet friendly, and offers a cute, doggy welcome bag. They also have a nice grassy area for toileting. The bar has a great selection of top shelf liquor, and a variety of excellent, self-serve snacks, although there was a French couple repulsive enough to eat the olives straight from the serving dish, instead of spooning onto a plate. The bar has a very efficient staff, and was open late. Overall, I would rate this hotel as one of the best we’ve visited in Italy (and we live here!), and we will definitely be staying again when we visit Bologna in the future!

Savhotel Amelia Bologna was an excellent experience.
We reserved a junior suite, and it certainly was the right choice. Our room was very spacious with plenty of places to put our luggage. The restroom was also very spacious and clean.
The hotel is well laid out and the amenities are top notch. We took advantage of the evening bar, as well as the gym. Both were very nice.
The hotel is conveniently located, and we were able to walk to local bars and restaurants.

Above all, the best part of this hotel is their service! Annapaola greeted us upon arrival. We had a long day prior, and her delightful demeanor made our evening much more pleasant. We asked for a recommendation for dinner to which we could walk, and she quickly shared one of her own favorites. This was a restaurant that we never would have found ourselves, but was possibly one of the best meals we have ever had.
In the morning, she again greeted us as we checked out, and volunteered to hold our luggage and call a taxi after we returned from breakfast, which she did a couple hours later.
Service like Annapaola provided is not common, but makes one’s travel experience a 10+!

We will not hesitate to return to the Savhotel Amelia Bologna!

Staff were incredibly helpful, easy check in and umbrellas available if it’s raining outside. Rooms were spacious, light and airy, with a massive bed. 15 minute/€25 taxi ride from the airport and 5 min drive from the train station. Roof terrace was lovely to sit on with great views of the city and can take your own food and drink up. Would 100% stay here again

Austere might not be the right word, but the complete lack of charm or even the thought of making you feel comfortable undoes the efficiency and exacerbates the sterility of the place. A further deterrent for feeling welcome is the abrasive front desk staff. The one redeeming factor was the bartender at the most likely repellent bar I have ever frequented with a blaring tv, the seating dispersed in either side of a gangway illuminated by floodlights that would fit a tarmac more usefully. In spite of the inhospitable
environment I enjoyed one of the better martinis I had outside of London and New York. Hats off!

When I booked I liked the reviews about cleanliness and comfort -and it was !
We slept really well and the beds were very comfortable.
I liked the look of the roof terrace as I thought Bologna would be hot - which it was . However we didn’t seem to be able to get served up there .Though we did carry a coffee up after breakfast and it was quite nice to be able to sit up there it wasn’t quite what I thought . The breakfast had a good range of food choices . I needed a twin room as I was with my son and sadly none of the ‘upgraded’ rooms or rooms on higher floors with better views had twin beds . It was walkable into the centre - though quite a long walk - which wasn’t bad as we clocked up our steps !! A bit far from the train station so we had to take taxis when we did day trips . I think I will probably stay a little closer in next time - but it was a good hotel .

Look nowhere else - this is THE hotel in Bologna

5*+ rating for this special hotel in Bologna. For my first trip to Italy, my stay at this hotel made the entire experience that much more special. From the moment I checked in, to when I checked out the entire concierge team were welcoming, friendly and gave great tips on what to do and where to go. I was very surprised to have received a room upgrade - west facing, simply the comfiest hotel bed I have ever slept in and, a gorgeous bathroom with decent water pressure. If I had an extra day to my trip, I would have spent it in the hotel really taking advantage of the bar, lounge and restaurant. Or, just sleeping in - the bed was that comfortable. When I return to Bologna, I will only stay at Savhotel Aemilia.

The sheets and bedding are so stretched it's itchy.

They lock you into your reservation so you can't cancel after checking in knowing that the property is awful.
