Threadbare tired rooms and surroundings, breakfast buffet poor due to not replenishing food or cups, if you go down to breakfast after 9, you'll have to wait for the slow service of replacing cups, cheese, ham etc Wouldn't stay again!

I stayed here for 1 night and found the hotel needs some money spent on it. Ok older hotels can have some charm, but there was no charm here. My room was basic, bed uncomfortable, tv had lots of 'missing channels' and bathroom was tiny. Breakfast was ok. The plus side is that hotel is ideally located in the centre... More

We traveled to Bologna in low season, hence we had a good deal from the hotel. 41 EUR one night is a decent price for a hotel in Bologna. I would've imagined the hotel was once before a grand hotel although now its decor's a bit out-dated. But it managed to maintain all facilities and cleanliness very well. Double room... More

Hotel Palace has a unique, old world feel. As you enter, you see a check in desk straight out of the 1930's. They still use boxes for mail and keys for the doors (not cards or pass codes). The staff were always friendly and always helpful and had very little trouble communicating in English. The rooms are not modern. The... More

Yes, the hotel is not very special one, but... it is really in the heart of Bologna in a small, quiet alley , so everything is within a reach. The neighbourhood is great, the hotel building is historic and marvellous... La Piazza del Nettuno and the Cathedral are across the street... We were two years in the same hotel, because,... More

The hotel itself looks like it is an old hospital that was renoed in the 70's to become a hotel. Kinda scary. The room smelled like smoke/dog, however was clean otherwise. The staff were not very efficient, serving others who arrived after us, even despite our heavy luggage and apparent position in queue. Everything was just ok.

A Palace that is. Certainly not anymore. It needs a lot spending on it to bring it up to anything like it should be. Stayed here with a group for 2 nights and it went wrong from the beginning. Hotel was over booked and some of our group had to go elsewhere, not good when organised to be together 20+... More
