4/10 Fair

Train station hotel.
The hotel had such great reviews, I was expecting a lot. It didn’t start off well when I arrived at 4:45pm and my room wasn’t available. The front desk staff apologized and provided a drink at the bar. Very nice, but really not acceptable. The room was clean, but very simple, and showing signs of wear. Also, this was a non-smoking room, but it still smelled like smoke. It wasn’t super strong, but as a non-smoker it definitely smells. So, if you are sensitive to that, you might look elsewhere. The area around the hotel is typical train station. Didn’t feel unsafe, but a little rough.

Starshotels are a great option in great locations through Italy and main cities through Europe. Profesional and atentive at the same time. This onevin Bologna is perfect if u are taking the train to diferent places around. No so louxuious as the other hotels of the same company. It was our second time in 2 years and we,'ll be back for sure. Also to the other ones they have. Better do the Booking directly with them. Not only a better price but they provide personal Transfer wherever you want to go. Also complimentary drinks, upgrade and a bottle of wine. NONE of those, advertized by Hotels.com are available now they merge with Expidia at ONE KEY horrible REWARDS program.

The property was right by the train station, walkable to many areas in the city, and near many places to eat and shop. It was convenient, clean, and the staff was so kind. The rooms were also a great size, and clean. It was a great place, and I would definitely stay here again, as well as any of their other locations around the world.

4/10 Fair

This hotel was conveniently located across the street from the train station. This was probably the best part of the hotel. When we checked in there was plenty of staff, but half of them were doing nothing (maybe managers). We left our bags and came back as our room wasn't ready. I came back after the normal check in time and we were told the room was ready and someone would bring out bags up. We waited 10-15 minutes and no one came with our bags so we went back down to the lobby to get them ourselves. We were told our room was ready, but when we got to it, there were no towels and I had doubts housecleaning even did anything. The second day we never got any new towels or a new bathmat so we had to use a hand towel for that. Additionally someone took out the trash but didn't replace the trash bag. There were no signs on the nuts and cookies and I assumed they were free, but they were not and I was charged like 15 euro for them! The communication between the front desk staff and the baggage staff was bad. We waited 10 minutes to retrieve our bag upon checking out. I'm not sure why the front desk people can't retrieve bags instead of calling and waiting for 1 person. The security person near the elevator seemed to be the most helpful at times, which seems ridiculous to me. There were a bunch of times I needed help and didn't even bother going to the front desk. I would probably not stay here again.

Conviently located for the station but about 20 minute walk into the historic centre. Hotel was good and clean. Bedroom was average size with a good bathroom with bath. Rooms did however feel quite dated. Breakfast was very average.

If I have negative review, only TV because I don’t know how to use it clearly. Maybe I just asked to front staff but I didn’t it, therefore maybe this is my fault. Other things are very excellent for me. Almost (All?) staffs can speak English well, therefore, I can talk with staff easily, especially check in.
