Mercure Bologna Centro - Bologna

Although only stayed one night, if coming by train with bags, you can not beat it. Direct walk to the sights under covered sidewalks. Nice bathroom but it was easy to hit the hot/cold mix handle while you showered. Helpful staff.

This hotel was very convenient to the train station, but was a little bit of a walk from the activity in the city center. The room was ecclectic and had nice view of the courtyard - the only thing it seemed to be missing was a clock. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A Mercure chain hotel older and less maintained than the usual standard Mercure.

We stayed for four nights, arrived by train from Venice, exited train station and crossed the street and checked in. Check in was very easy and quick and to our surprise we were given a complimentary 24 hr. city bus pass. The front desk was very responsive whenever we asked for directions, recommendations for restaurants, etc. The buffet breakfast which […] was included in our rate was very good, it included cereals, yogurts, breads, pastries, fruits, sliced deli meats and cheeses, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, and sometimes salad, fruit juices, teas, and a self service espresso, cappuccino machine. Besides being located close to train station, there are bus stops right out the front door, and it is a short pleasant walk about 15 mins. to the center of old town. We took 2 side trips by train to Parma and to Ravenna. This was our first trip to Bologna, we found the people helpful, friendly, not very many tourists, and the food was the best we have had in Italy. Read more

Not a good choice overall... Rooms are old

Genuine Expedia guest review

Stayed here for 2 nights. The staff was very helpful, and the rooms were nice. It is right across from the train station, and near the bus station.

We stayed at the Mercure Bologna Centro in October, 2011, and found it to be very nice. Across the street from the train station, the hotel is conveniently located for travellers. If you have allergies, you have to be careful as some of the "non-smoking" floors still smell of smoke from the air vents. Nonetheless, my wife and I enjoyed our stay, and […] would definitely go back. Read more

The room was clean and well equipped. Staff courteous and extremely helpful in directions to sites and recommending great, but fairly priced restaurants. We extended our stay an extra day and all was handled with dispatch.

I had a wonderful time in Bologna. My only two gripes about the hotel are rather minor. One the first room I was given, on a non-smoking floor of the hotel reeked of smoke. It was quickly changed to another room. The other was the recommendation of a restaurant in the gustatory capital of Italy. I hasw recommeded to a resaturant after asking for a good […] to a place that gave me my lasagne 3 minutes after I ordered it! Just a little disappointing. The restaurant the second time was much better, after explaining my concern. Read more

We only stayed here one night, so we could have a proper *taste* of Italy. It was right across the street from the train and bus station which was very convenient, however you had to walk to the center of town. The room was nice, however, they only gave us one towel which we didn't notice until it was too late. Our flight leaving Bologna left early […] in the morning to Sicily and we were in a rush. I was annoyed with the shower because I kept hip checking the temp guage and getting either a hot or cold shower....and I am of average size. Read more

We just needed a hotel close to the train station but this hotel was much nicer than expected. It is not only a first rate hotel, but it is directly across from the train station.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Location across from Main Train Station not only gave us quick access to airport bus and trains to Parma, but also was hub for local bus lines that got us all over Bologna. Loved our room overlooking quiet garden and high quality linens & towels. The Breakfast Buffet was very good -- the usual eggs, bacon, cold cuts , cereals, etc. were supplemented […] by platters of fresh melon, morning croissants and bakery quality breads & cakes. Front Desk & food service staff were professional and attentive. Only bothersome aspect of our 5 nite stay was that walls and doors between rooms lack sufficient insulation and we had noisy neighbors for couple of nights. Overall, we had excellent experience and felt the Mercure is excellent value for the level of service and location. Read more

Good location - right across from train station with easy airport bus access; within walking distance to main plaza/city center (about 15 min. walk). Room itself very basic and small. Thin walls. Extremely small shower - can barely turn around. Staff friendly. Skip the breakfast. It's overpriced. Other options available outside of hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I cannot imagine staying at a more appropriate hotel if you are a tourist. The service is wonderful, it is a beautiful small italian hotel, the roof garden is everything the pictures show. With all this, the location is still the prize. It is impossible to have a better location.

The location was great. Right across the street from the train station and yet one of the nicest hotels we were in. Close to everything (10-20 minute walk). The staff was very nice and this was the only hotel that actually gave us a complimentary glass of wine because I wrote in the comments that we were on our honeymoon.

Goog value hotel

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was my second stay here within 2 months and both times were excellent. I cannot find fault with the service, comfort, cleanliness, breakfast or location. It is directly across from the main train station which is super convenient for the airporter bus BLQ. Normally, I never stay near a train station, but it felt quite safe. The hotel is about 10 […] minutes from the main square and easily accessible by several local buses. There is a huge outdoor clothing market 5 min away from the hotel on Fridays and Saturdays. This hotel is brilliant value for money. The rooms are clean, tastefully decorated, comfortable and quiet. The Front desk staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. On my second stay, their system showed that I was a returning guest and they upgraded me to a superior room! You will not be disappointed with the Mecure Bologna! Read more

Positives- Excellent value for money. I couldn't say enough about the staff of the hotel, they were very friendly and helpful. Room was basic but nice & clean. Location was great. Walking distance to all major city sights. Negatives- Room was very warm so we had to open window at night. Unfortunately because of location of hotel near train station it […] was a bit noisy outside. Read more

Great location, reasonably price, older style rooms, not catering too much for the English speaking client, unlike other hotels in Italy, who offer BBC entertainment tv channel, otherwise ok

I was very happy with my stay here, from the outside it doesn,t look that nice, but inside it wa very nice. I was staying here for one night on my return journey, but when i arrived at Bologna Station i had a problem with my connecting train and could not get through to my friend who was meeting me at the other end, so went to the hotel and they were […] so, so helpful, especially Elena and Roberto. The breakfast was very pleasant worth the ten euros. My only complaint, in the bathroom, the tiles on the floor were a bit chipped, and the bar across the floor from the bathroom/hallway stuck out so i kept hurting my toes. Bologna was ok but i would not want to spend time there again. Read more

Can't really fault this Hotel but didn't enjoy staying here. Perfect for connections to the rail station & BLQ Airport bus outside the station for 6 euros. Hotel lacks character but is usual top quality Mercure type Hotel inside.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Stayed here for two nights and it was very nice. Right in front of the train station and close to the center. Did not try breakfast but there are plenty of places to eat. Good quality and very clean. The shower could have been bigger for the size of the bathroom.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location of the hotel is ideal. According to Belgian standards the hotel has 3 stars and not 4. But we were very happy with the service, bar, internet connection and THE GARDEN. It is really an extra so close to the city center and the station and so quiet. Also the room view on the garden is excellent and quiet during the night time. The rate is […] absolutely acceptable.

Nice hotel and across the road from the central station and short walk to some restaurants. Got uncomfortably warm in the room as the air conditioner could only heat. Apart from that the staff were very friendly and helpful and I would stay there again.

just right in front of the train station, very convenient. Buffet breakfast, with a reasonable additional charge, was good.

This hotel was very close to the Railway Station and only a short walk to the centre of Old Bologna. It has a nice garden area in which to relax and was very quiet despite being so close to the station. Service was excellent.

The hotel is in a great location if you are getting the train- literally opposite the station. The room was extremely good value and included free WIFI, free bus tickets and free bottled water. The hotel also has a computer and printer in the lobby that can be used free of charge. The breakfast was good and there is an option of sitting outside which […] is nice. The customer service at the hotel was excellent. They had checked us into a garden-view room without being requested, which was lovely. I don't think there was anything to complain about! Read more
