4/10 Fair

Train station hotel.
The hotel had such great reviews, I was expecting a lot. It didn’t start off well when I arrived at 4:45pm and my room wasn’t available. The front desk staff apologized and provided a drink at the bar. Very nice, but really not acceptable. The room was clean, but very simple, and showing signs of wear. Also, this was a non-smoking room, but it still smelled like smoke. It wasn’t super strong, but as a non-smoker it definitely smells. So, if you are sensitive to that, you might look elsewhere. The area around the hotel is typical train station. Didn’t feel unsafe, but a little rough.

Starshotels are a great option in great locations through Italy and main cities through Europe. Profesional and atentive at the same time. This onevin Bologna is perfect if u are taking the train to diferent places around. No so louxuious as the other hotels of the same company. It was our second time in 2 years and we,'ll be back for sure. Also to the other ones they have. Better do the Booking directly with them. Not only a better price but they provide personal Transfer wherever you want to go. Also complimentary drinks, upgrade and a bottle of wine. NONE of those, advertized by Hotels.com are available now they merge with Expidia at ONE KEY horrible REWARDS program.

Convenient location and spacious rooms.
The hotel was great! Spacious, clean, and comfortable room. The location is very central and convenient, right across from the train station--but the room was totally quiet. I also used their small gym, which is basic but fine. I highly recommend. I would stay here again.

The hotel is directly opposite the main train station. You can walk into the town, which is convenient. There is also a wide connection of transport links.

Extremely friendly staff all around. They were able to accommodate an early checkin, which was very helpful. Large, beautiful and clean family room with nice extras (such as great coffee and complimentary water). One of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve experienced as well with high quality and well prepared food. Very convenient location to the train station (just across the street). I’d certainly stay here again on a future visit.

8/10 Very Good

The hotel itself was great with good breakfast and bar, and it was right across from the train station so super convenient. The female front desk rep was very pleasant and helpful during checkin. Our room did have an a/c leak from the ceiling and staff came right away to fix the problem. We walked around the block and thought the Bologna Food Gallery and Pure and Bio gelato place were great, but the back side street smelled and was a bit shady.
