This is a basic three star hotel, but good value in an expensive city. Or rather, on the edge of it. Don't worry about that. Comfortable, clean rooms, decent size bed and bathroom (shower only). Plenty of parking (free). Excellent bus service every 10 mins to station and cirty centre (20-30 mins), from early til midnight. 15 mins from airport.... more

We stayed here for 4 days, and since we had a car for touring other cities and countryside, we wanted something with free parking and an easy ride into Bologna in the evenings. The Imperial was perfect for this. The room was spacious and quiet, and spotlessly clean. The air-conditioning worked well, and the bathroom was huge, with a whirlpool... more

Very reasonable prices, fantastic and helpful staff, good breakfast. Very comfortable large clean rooms. more

We found this hotel via trip advisor and we are absolutely grateful. We were to arrive at Bologna late, coming from a tiring and expensive trip to Tuscany and Provence, heading to Ancona for the ferry. Imperial hotel was balsam. Just 5 mins from the highway, though we must admit we were a bit confused trying to find it. In... more

I selected this hotel based on other reviews and the excellent price when I needed a place to stay the night coming in and out of Bologna Airport. I opted to take a taxi from the airport and highly recommend this as a subsequent bus ride was not worth the 15 euro price difference (1 euro for bus, 16 euro... more

This was a nice hotel, but was quite far away from everything. The bus stop drops you off right next to the hotel, which is nice, but it added a good half hour trip to anything in bologna. There also wasn't too much around. The hotel was comfortable and clean, and the staff was friendly. I would probably stay there... more

The Imperial has gotten a lot of praise on this site, but there's certainly not much "imperial" about this ugly building, situated well out in the sticks. The location is very sad indeed (should be convenient if you're going to the fair however) and must bring down the total mark. Nothing wrong with the room though, quite the opposite, it... more

The hotel is of a good standard. Our room was spacious with flat screen tv, limited channels in english but we only put it on to catch up with news & sport so not really a problem. A small fridge but ample space to keep water cool. In room safe which is always a plus. The bathroom was large and... more

Nearly everything about this hotel is perfect, rooms clean, great breakfast and free wireless. The only drawback is the location. Its a good 5-6km outside of bologna so walking to and from it is not an option. But the bus stops just outside the hotel, it goes every 15mins and costs €1 and drops you right into heart of the... more
