Bologna hotels near Palazzo Marescalchi

Pros: Location and reception staff

Pros: Perfect central location. The staff are professional, polite and friendly. The hotel has a lovely bar area. Rooms are very clean. Sheets are changed everyday.

Pros: AMAZING SERVICE.

Cons: THE MAIN DOOR AT LOBBY WAS OPEN AT TIMES WITH NO SECURITY. THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE SOMEONE AT THE FRONT DOOR. SPECIALLY IN HIGH PEAK HOURS TO MONITOR BETTER WHO ENETRS AND EXITS HOTEL.

Pros: the location is great even though very hard to get there.

Cons: We got there late at night and could not get to the street. The stuff is nice and polite. the hotel was too kitchy for us, the price was very high for the value. The room they gave us was very far and noisy from the motors of the a\c. With this cost you would expect more!

Pros: beautiful room. given an up grade as we're Leading Hotels members.

Cons: breakfast room and food could have been better.

Pros: Beautifully presented property. Staff were attentive and went out of there way to make our stay memorable.

Pros: Service was excellent! The best I have ever experienced. Real 5 star service from the doorman, front desk, restaurant staff, bar tender, housekeeping, etc., all the employees were extremely courteous, helpful, attentive, and professional. Hotel is very nicely and tastefully decorated, lots of artwork and fancy walls, ceilings, etc, and our room was very comfortable. They gave us a free upgrade upon check-in (from a deluxe room to a grand deluxe). Location is perfect - it is right in the middle of town, close to all the attractions, restuarants, and shopping. Yet the inside of the hotel is very quiet and relaxing. Breakfast buffet (included in our room rate) was AMAZING!! Excellent food, lots of choices, and of course excellent service from the staff. I think it would be OK for kids, but it is probably better suited for adults. My wife and I had a wonderful time and I highly recommend this hotel!

Cons: There is a small gym which I would have liked to be bigger with more equipment The grand deluxe room was a good size, but I think the standard rooms are quite small, especially for what U.S. tourists are used to.

Pros: Location.

Cons: Service is good but not great. Some lack of organization. When is fully booked , service can suffer. Old fashion.

Pros: It was the best hotel I have ever stayed in . Room, food, everything just perfect.

Pros: Great Hotel. Very well appointed. Excellent location in the heart of the city

Cons: Nothing to improve upon!

Pros: The location, the decor, the turn down service, the perfectly quiet room, the breakfast which was excellent, the attention to detail... but above all the staff - from the moment we arrived each and every staff member was so helpful, polite and kind to us, they all made us so welcome and that really made a lasting impression. As I said every single staff member we encountered was wonderful, particular mention to David at the front desk who was outstanding with all his help, he made us a dinner reservation, gave us recommendations, booked our train tickets. There was nothing he could not help us with! He even gave us recommendations for Venice! Thank-you to all at The Grand Hotel Majestic. We will never stay anywhere else in Bologna!

Cons: The bar prices were VERY expensive

Pros: Proximity to the train station

Cons: The hotel is extremely dated, and we were placed in a smoking room, which we didn't even realize still existed. The room smelled disgusting, and we had to keep the window open to circulate the air...and also to cool us down because the heat setting in the room was unbearable and not adjustable.

Pros: Location is great- very short walk from the railway station and very adjacent to the road into the main square with easy walking distance to it. Hotel was excellent- friendly and professional staff, Room was very comfortable with good view to from the front of the hotel to the Pincio steps and remains of the Papal place and no noise from what is a very busy thoroughfare during day and night. If I visit Bologna again, would certainly look to stay at the hotel as first choice- no question

Pros: The room was exceptionally clean with towels changed daily. Very good shower. The bed was very comfortable and the air conditioning was good. Lots of choice for breakfast. A good 20 minute walk to get into the centre of bologna but the hotel is on a bus route with regular buses running so not a problem.

Friendly & helpful staff. Great value for money & would thoroughly recommend to anyone visiting Bologna.

Pros: The hotel was clean and the location was great!

Cons: I had booked a room with a sofa bed and the receptionist gave a us room without. I had to double check my booking and show it to them to have them move us to the correct room.

Pros: Amazing building inside and out. It’s so beautiful I was literally walking around with my mouth open. And rooms are really large. Staff is amazing, breakfast is good!

Cons: Breakfast service very poor

Cons: This hotel has one serious thing to complain about which dramatically affects comfort of staying. Its air conditioning system doesn't work at all. The apparatus in the room blew out warm air which according to hotel staff was "no more than 25 C". In all other rooms I tried to change for the situation was identicall. It was very hard to stay in the room, it was very hard to sleep in it, no relief after coming from the street, considering that temperature in Bologna during my stay was up to 35 C, etc. It's pointless to discuss other things regarding comfort of staying if basic physiological conditions aren't met. Hotel staff provided poor explanation that the problem was because of the high temperature outside. However, at the reception air conditioning was good, shops in the buildings next to the hotel didn't experience any problems, and hotel in Agrigento where I stayed last year also had no problems with air conditioning though temperature was higher than 40 C. The situation didn't improve even after temperature in the city became around 27 C indicating hardware problems. The minor issue was that on one day maid didn't change the towels and just hanged again used ones and didn't do bath accessories refreshment. Don't recommend this hotel at all despite any its advantages. Luckily Bologna is small with plenty of choices.

Pros: The location of the hotel, the very friendly staff.

Pros: I liked the location and some of the staff were good also the breakfast was generous

Cons: The bed was very hard and the pillows were the worst, just exactly like rocks. The AC was pathetic, my room was like an oven so I moved to another as the porter said the AC was broken in my room. There was not much improvement so finally the third day they gave me an electric fan. Very noisy but it helped somewhat. I am returning home very underslept and with a very stiff neck from the dreadful pillows

Pros: The hotel was excellent, clean, good staff, very good breakfast. We had a corner room at the front a beautiful room The hotel is about 800metres from the train station and about the same to Piazza Maggiore so easy walking distance to all the major attractions and restaurants
