Hotels near Cippo Della Ferrovia in Bologna

For his category it was just good, I was expecting something much better, a large room, a park bed for a baby with extra bed, a rest bed and pillows and clean. Unfortunately, the washing machine was shut ... The breakfast was relatively poor for the hotel category and not something special. As far as the location is concerned, it's not in the center but it has a bus stop outside which is very convenient because Bologna is a very good bus network, and I wouldn't suggest it as a good choice when you have a cart child. As regards staff, he spoke English but basics, and we could not easily understand by asking for information on activities (which is unfortunately true throughout Italy).

We checked in as part of a tour group at around 8 pm from Rome. We were tired and wanted to sleep, but discovered that our room's AC wasn't working. We included a picture of it with no display. Buttons are not responding at all. We ask our tour leader to help us get this problem fixed. Had a big day tomorrow, so we needed as much rest as we could. Front desk said they'd fix the problem, but no one showed up to our room. After waiting for sometime, they said they had fixed it from their end, but it was clearly not working at all. At almost 10 pm, we were told by our tour group leader that they were going to switch us to a different room. Frustrated, because we had already unpacked our things/clothes so we could get up and move early morning, we now had to repack everything then unpack again. What's worse is, they didn't have anyone from the hotel itself assist us with transferring, but had our tour leader act as their bellboy! They gave an excuse that they were understaffed. No apologies,no compensation, no thoughtfulness or professionalism. It was even borderline racism because they used our tour guide as their bellboy when this whole fiasco was their fault! Just because we're Filipino doesn't mean we get treated worst than any other paying guest of this hotel. We're very disappointed with their service, and will spread our negative experience with as many review sites as we can. This NOT how you treat guests of your hotel.

On first approach, it was clear to see that this hotel is quite far out from the city centre however explains why the prices are a lot cheaper. My partner and I stayed here in July 2022 for 4 nights and I must admit, we loved the room and overall feel of the hotel. Rooms were very clean and beds were very comfortable. We slept amazingly!! If it was just based on rooms alone, we would give this hotel five stars. However… We booked this hotel mainly because it had a pool. When we asked about the pool, we were informed we needed to book a 1 hour slot if we wanted to use it during that day. This was due to covid measures which were still in place at the hotel. So we did. Booked a 1 hour slot for the pool the following evening. When we arrived at the pool on the lower level, we noticed that the changing rooms were locked and the showers were turned off…due to Covid. Now I would typically understand some reasoning for certain covid rules but this just seemed ridiculous. A couple who were using the pool in the hour slot before us informed us to use the small shower cubicle to get changed as this had a frosted glass door on it and is the only bit of privacy you get down there. So we did! We ended up booking the pool out another two times on our stay but as reception advised following our first pool visit, get changed in your rooms then head down to the pool (assuming you don’t need to get the key from reception to unlock the pool). Towels were provided by poolside although on the first day, there was only one towel left for the two of us. On my final visit to the pool on the morning before we left, I had to go to reception in my swimming trunks because the pool was locked. Something I felt uncomfortable doing in the first place but as there was no changing facilities and the towels were locked by poolside, I reluctantly went to reception where the man behind the desk got angry at me being there in my swimming trunks. Simple solution would be to open up the changing facilities down by poolside to prevent this but hey, that was too obvious. Upon pointing out the fact that the changing facilities in his hotel were locked because they won’t open them due to Covid (which he should have known), he eventually calmed down and mentioned he understood. On our visit we also used the electric bikes which were at reception for a full day at the cost of €25 per bike per day. The system is far to complicated for what it needs to be and should be made simpler by just having reception deal with the booking. Once eventually booked, we were given the keys to the 2 bike locks, helmets and some netting for our hair (another odd covid measure which doesn’t make much sense as you will sweat through the netting anyway). As I was away to take the bikes out, I noticed that all four tyres were flat. Surely this should be inspected by the staff before the bikes are taken out?! Unfortunately staff appeared clueless on what PSI the tires had to be at and as he pumped up the first

Hotel is outside of city center. Took 10-15 min by buss. Bussstop is 5min from hotel. Airport is 15min away by taxi. Paid 21eur. Depends on direction, room has a nice view of whole Bologna. Bed is large and comfy. Bathroom as well. Provided free water bottle. Free WiFi worked well. Beside hotel there is a big supermarket and good local pizzeria in front of supermarket. strongly recommend. Staff were helpful. Just one minus was all USB connector were out of order. Other el connector worked well. Totally very satisfied and want to be back.

A very nice hotel with good amenities. Very friendly staff. The breakfast was decent. Bring a hairdryer as the hairdryer supplied is ok for short hair, but not great for long hair. There was only 2 plug sockets in the room and one in the bathroom. This makes charging modern day phones, watches and other equipment very difficult. Especially if one of the plugs is located behind a cupboard. The kettle was balanced on the air con unit which isn’t ideal. A shelf would be a good idea. There aren’t any draws to put away underwear or tee shirts so be prepared to live from your case, however there is a clothes rail. The beds are made everyday and fresh towels if required. We used the spa which was lovely, although the pool probably was a clean. We will definitely return as the location is excellent, about 8 minute walk to the station.

Good structure, even better than other ”three stars”. Varied breakfast with quality products. The private parking of the structure is very convenient: it is true that the hotel is a bit far from the center of Bologna so you need a means of transport to get there, but those who frequent Bologna know that finding parking in a more central hotel is practically impossible. I had some problems (and I wasn't the only one) with customizing the card for entering the rooms. The room numbers were swapped and more than one person found themselves with a key that didn't open or belonged to another room. Overall a good stay even if the prices, here as elsewhere, on the weekend of the fairs rise disproportionately

Amazing service, very kind staff. Very nice sized room and comfortable bed. Very clean and with attention to details. Very good breakfast with a lot to choose from. A bit far from the center by foot, but a small bus ride from the nearest bus station.

An excellent structure, excellent value for money, excellent for those who go to the Bologna fair, more inconvenient for those who have to visit the city. Public transport stop near the hotel but with a service that is nothing short of catastrophic, with heavy and repeated delays, then it is difficult to buy a ticket on board if you don't have coins, only a few cards are accepted and, today, a card can only make one ticket . If the inspectors find you without a ticket, they don't want to listen to reason and fine you 75 euros, a shameful service for such a beautiful and rich city.
