Like other reviewers commented, the Imperial Hotel is indeed not very central but public transport in Bologna is quite good and cheap as well. There are busses running to and from the hotel from early morning until midnight every 10 to 15 minutes. The bus (25) ends and starts at the hotel and takes 20 to 30 minutes to the... more

The Hotel Imperial is a farily nice hotel; clean, nice rooms with excellent air conditioning and large bathrooms, satellite TV (with English), refrigerator, and a nice breakfast buffet. The bus stop is right there (it's the end of the line so it takes a while to get into town). Problem is, the hotel is difficult to find off the main... more

We were very impressed with this hotel. It looks completely new and was spotless. Bedroom was very comfortable and bathroom was immaculate. We had the use of a fridge. Breakfast was excellent in attractive surroundings. Air conditioning was good. But the bedroom decoration was a bit naff considering it looked new. It was all dark wood panneling. The hotel has... more

Just returned from a 6night stay at this hotel. It's good value for money. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast very good. On New Year's Day breakfast was later then normal but as we went down earlier the staff did their best to prepare breakfast for us. The hotel is a bit far out of Bologna centre... more

This hotel is great value for money. Had all the feel of a luxury hotel for a fraction of the cost. Breakfast selection was very good indeed, staff were always friendly and helpful. The bedroom had everything you would need and the bathroom even had a whirlpool bath which was a nice way to relax after a hard days sight... more

This is was an excellent hotel. I am not even sure why it was only 3 stars other than they didn't have a restaurant on-site. The staff was very nice and helpful and spoke good English, and the breakfast was the best hotel breakfast we end up having in Italy. We arrived very early because we came by night train... more

Courteous staff; fantastic breakfast was included in our lodging; room was very nice. We were very impressed! We arrived late in the evening after the kitchen had closed but they were willing to fix us a little something to eat; air conditioning went off around 8 am, however, and this made packing for our departure uncomfortable. Still, a great place... more

We stayed here in late May 2007 and found the hotel to be very nice and clean with a friendly staff. We spent 4 nights here, but only one day exploring Bologna, and the rest we took day trips to Venice, Florence, and Lucca. This was a great central location for such trips. The hotel is not in the city... more

I stayed at the hotel from the 10th to the 12th of November and what a gem. For the price that I paid it was a bargain. I was a bit nervous as I had paid so little but when I got there I was relieved and somewhat excited. The hotel is almost new. The reception area is light coloured... more
