Bologna, Emilia-Romagna hotel rooms at the Independent

"The staff was excellent, the stay was very enjoyable, it was a perfect location-very close to the shopping and the historical centre but it also had underground parking. This is a rare find. We found the king bed much too hard for our comfort but it was otherwise a perfect stay. "

"Freindly warm greating from reception staff. Hotel was lovely and clean and so was our room. Our room was very accommodating for our family of 4. Lovely spead of food for breakfast. Night time was lovely and quite with good views of the city."

"Clean room, good location"

"Rooms were clean, quick check-in time, courteous staff."

"Great location, close to train station and convenient for old town. Room was clean and comfortable. "

"Starhotels Excelsior is on par with a good Hilton or Marriott. Excellent location directly across the street from Bologna Centrale, which makes arrivals and departures effortless. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay. The room was very clean with a comfortable bed and good linens. Minor quirk: I had to hunt a bit to figure out the bathtub drain knob, but nothing serious. Breakfast was a highlight. Scrambled eggs and bacon, a strong bakery selection, fresh juices, yogurt, and deli items. Plenty of choice and good quality. From the hotel, it’s about a 20-minute walk to Piazza Maggiore, passing through lively streets full of shops and cafés. A solid, reliable choice for Bologna."
