Top Bologna Hotel Reviews

Savhotel Fiera Bologna

Savhotel Fiera Bologna

10/10 Excellent
"What a welcoming, bright, modern hotel! The staff at the front desk are so helpful and kind. They gave us suggestions for restaurants, tours, coffee shops. We walked to the historic city centre in less than 30 minutes, and there is a Coop grocery store just 5 minutes away. The rooftop terrace has tables and lounge chairs- it's a relaxing spot. We didn't use the jacuzzi as the water was cool. Rooms were cleaned daily by a friendly, hard working team. I would recommend this hotel!"
