The hotel is located in the heart of what you could consider red Bologna (it is surrounded by red buildings). There is parking and it is included in your fee. The breakfast was good, but nothing extraordinary. Heating in the rooms could be improved. Here is the breakdown: The good: Price and location. You cannot beat either. You are within... More

I booked this hotel on booking.com and got a very reasonable rate for its location. The room was 74 euro per night which included breakfast. Hotel is a bit hard to find and unfortunately our GPS was of no help because it is located on a pedestrian street which the GPS can't account for so you end up driving in... More

This is a very nice hotel in a lovely neighborhood. It is worth the trip for the terrace alone: from the top floor you can see 360 degrees of Bologna roofs -- stunning. More

We stayed in this hotel for three nights which included a Friday and Saturday, and even though we were at the back of the hotel, noise from the streets was a problem (earplugs are standard issue, so I would suspect this is the norm). So I would not recommend this hotel for light sleepers, particularly as the internal sound-proofing is... More

The San Donato Hotel has a very good location in the center of Bologna. You are in walking distence to everything worth seeing. However the rooms are on the small side and very basic, and our beds were tired and the pillows flat and hard. The worst thing is the cleaning personal who makes so much noise cleaning the rooms...

This hotel is a in a great location and has many wonderful attributes. However, it's not the most stylish hotel, is quite dated but is clean, fuctional and comfortable enough. Firstly the location is hard to beat - it's right in the city centre near the university and the area has a real buzz about it. It overlooks the twin... More

Very well located in the center of the city, minutes walking to any major touristic objective in the Center. Hotel is located in an old palace, so it is an historic building. I fully recommend you to climb up to the roof (forth floor) where the city view is unbelievable. Staff was friendly and check in us at 12.00 o'clock... More

My partner and I stayed at the Best Western San Donato in early Oct 2011 for one night as a break from the trip from Cinque Terre to Venice. The location of the hotel is great, its about a 3-4 minute walk to the main square but is set back from the main roads enough so that its quiet. We... More

I can absolutely recommend this hotel. It is located in a stylish historic building that has been well modernized. The staff is very friendly and helpful, both at the reception desk and at the bar. They provided me with all the information I wanted. They always greet you with a smile. The bar (which offers various snacks and drinks that... More
