      Very good hotel. Good location, clean room. Some fittings slightly dated. Staff were friend and helpful. My fiance and I stayed here in late-November, 2012. Since it was quiet, we were upgraded to a larger room for free.

      "Good airport hotel" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Dec 11, 2012

      For a hotel near the airport this hotel fit the bill. Close enough to make it there on surface streets with the way marked with clear signage. For those of you with a car there is a gas station right next door and free underground parking. The attached restaurant has surprisingly good food. Room is showing it's age, but that being said, I didn't really need alot since it was just a convenient place to stay prior to departure. Walls are thin and you will hear all sounds from your neighbors. TV basically had only BBC for English entertainment. Free wi-fi.

    A short guide to Bologna

    Famed for its medieval towers, Bologna's well-preserved historic center is where visitors can climb the Asinelli Tower for panoramic views of the city's red-tiled rooftops, including the Basilica of San Petronico on Piazza Maggiore. Extending from the piazza, over 40 km of porticos provide shelter for pedestrians. About a 10-minute stroll east, the venerable University of Bologna dates to 1088.

    Great location for catching trains, easy access to shopping, great gelato next door ;). Only down side was the noise level at night, the room was stuffy and we had to open the window which made the street noise a bit of a distraction. Very friendly staff, and a lovely breakfast.

    We chose this hotel because it was close to the train station and mid-city centre. We were two adults and two children and had a room with a double fold-out bed and two single beds - hardly any space between them. The room was very hot and when we enquired we were told the airconditioning had broken down - it had been hot - this was midwinter!Then we […] discovered the restaurant was closed on Saturday nights! This is a rare experience as all hotels I've stayed in with hotels.com have been excellent. Read more

    Our room was nice, the bathroom was very nice. The furnishings looked a little worn, but not bad. The location is just the best right across from the train station if you are traveling around Italy. The hotel is also an easy walk to piazza maggiore, shops and restaurants. We had excellent service in the hotel bar and at the reception desk.

    I booked a room for 4 adults and was given a normal room with a sofa bed thrown in. Very uncomfortable to say the least. The air conditioner did not work properly and the staff looked at it twice and claimed it good both times. On the good side the location of the hotel couldn't have been better, the staff was excellent and the price was very good.

I'm still questioning why I decided to visit Bologna (it just didn't do it for me). But if you do visit, whether on business or pleasure, this is a great place to stay. Breakfast was included and was served […] in a nice and modern dining room with beautiful banquettes. Our room was clean and spacious. I highly recommend staying here. Read more

    The strongest point of the hotel was the staff. The front desk people were extremely helpful. They printed train schedules and explained the system, called restaurants to make reservations, and were in general, a great source of information about any questions we had. The breakfast restaurant staff coulnd't have been more friendly and helpful, as well […] as the people who took care of our room. The location across from the train station was good for our visit in that we made several day trips during the week to nearby cities. Read more

    I stayed at the Starhotels Excelsior this last weekend with a friend for a quick two-day trip to Bologna and Ravenna. The location could seriously not be better for the train station, you can literally see it from the doors of the train station. Unlike many hotels in Italy, it's not at all hard to find. We arrived quite early during the day, around […] 9am, but they still let us check in without a problem. The rooms are spacious and extremely well-furnished. I've become used to rather worn hotels/B&B's in Italy and was happy to find myself in a hotel more reminiscent of the USA or England. Everything worked and was clean - which is often not guaranteed in Italian hotels. All of the people we interacted with were more than kind and helpful. Livio at the front desk directed us to a lovely pizzeria called the Rotunda after we asked for his recommendation - it was wonderful. Probably the best pizza I've had in Italy, good wine, and great prices. The included breakfast was also a pleasant surprise. Most hotel breakfasts in Italy are composed of a cafe, a croissant, and maybe some juice if you're lucky. At this hotel there is an enormous spread with just about every breakfast item you could want - including eggs and bacon. We were in heaven. Any time I return to Bologna I will definitely be at this hotel. Read more

    You can't beat the location right across the street from the train station, so it is a perfect option for a stopover between Florence and Venice. It isn't cheap, but it is extermely clean and modern, and much roomier than expected. The bathroom is much larger than you find in the typical Italian hotel, with full bath tub and television. And the complimentary […] breakfast is also far superior to budget options. Free wireless Internet in the lobby is ideal for cheking in via laptop or smart phone. Not much to do in the immediate neighborhood, but in easy walking distance to the city center. Read more

    We were only able to stay 1 night, but were very pleased with this hotel. The staff was very helpful and we were able to check in early. Since it is right across the street from the train station, it is very convienent. The tour bus stop is near by, there is a airport shuttle across the street, and the old city center is an easy walk. The hotel is clean […] and modern and the fairly large room nicely appointed with a large, 1st class bathroom. We were most impressed with service. Since our flight left very early, we were going to miss the included breakfast. We I mentioned this at check-in, the clerk offered to have a bag breakfast delivered the night before. They did, and it had a nice variety of bread, an apple, yogart, and cookies. This was the nicest, hotel on our European trip. It does have a business feel, so it might not be for everyone. We loved it! Oh... and at great price. Read more

    This hotel did what a hotel should do best: Provide a stress-free travel experience. Everything just, well, worked perfectly. The front desk staff were exceedingly pleasant and helpful at every turn. The room was comfortable, clean and spacious, with one of the biggest bathrooms we've seen in Italy. The bed really comfortable. The American-style breakfast […] more than adequate, and the service excellent there too. I expected the sound to be a problem, since we faced the train station, but two sets of double-glazed windows meant we heard nothing from outside. For train travelers, the location is perfect -- really, directly across the street. For others, maybe not so great; there are certainly more attractive streets. But most of the big attractions are only a 10-15 min walk. I'd stay here again in a minute . . . except Bologna itself doesn't have much pull. Read more

    This hotel is conveniently located opposite the train station, but a bit of a trek to the Piazza Maggiore and the central area of Bologna. The building is modern and clean, but is sadly one of the few buildings in the city to be completely devoid of any character whatsoever. The rooms are fine, a little small, but a decent amount of storage space and […] the bathrooms have a very good shower, but no bath. Breakfast is served in the basement level restaurant, and I would say it is well below average for a four star. The hot offerings are some very thin bacon, hard boiled eggs and an intensely yellow tray of scrambled egg. It was very uninspiring. There are a few cereals, yoghurts - some of which were out of date, croissants and a couple of cakes, plus a collection of tinned fruits. The bedrooms are equipped with a small safe which I would highly recommend not using as I had a significant amount of cash go missing from mine. The front of house manager took very little interest when I reported the incident. I was really disappointed with my stay at the Starhotels Excelsior and would not return. Read more

    Lovely hotel. We were given an upgrade to a suite which was amazing. Hotel located across the road from the railway station and only a short walk from the centre. Very quiet despite the location and AC worked wonderfully. Staff pleasant and helpful, breakfast was good. Bar prices were inflated. Would recommend to anyone.

    We were travelling on business and needed to catch a train to a nearby town. The hotel location was perfect...a walk across the street and we were at the train station. The lobby was modern and bright and the staff was very helpful. Very spacious, modern room. Good breakfast Also, just a short walk to the centre of town. Will definitely stay there […] again on our next trip. Read more

    Overall it was hard to fault this hotel. The staff on the front desk were very helpful, the public areas in the hotel are smart, and the bedroom and bathroom were comfortable and spotlessly clean. The hotel is very convenient for the main station and only just over 10 minutes' walk from the main square in Bologna. The only adverse comment I'd make […] is that there were some loose wires from the sockets in my room and one of the light fittings was dicky. Also, the selection of food at breakfast was a little basic for the grade of hotel. Read more
