The hotel was clean, the staff was very friendly and the breakfast was great. This was a high spot in our trip. Bologna is an amazing town.
Clean, friendly staff especially Raoul. Good breakfast but it is not a4****, hotel. A good hotel for the price!

The hotel itself fitted our purpose. Best described as an Italian Premier Inn; It achieves what you need in a hotel without the frills and at a reasonable price.
The staff were friendly and helpful and rooms were clean and quiet at night.
So if you’re looking for a bed for the night and spending your day on excursions like we did then it’s absolutely fine.
If, however, you are looking to be immersed in Bologna then this hotel is literally on the wrong side of the tracks. It is situated North of the city train station (where the monorail from the airport connects) and not in the centre of Bologna (hence the price). Because of this it is not so touristy shall we say. The area is very much more “real world”, some would probably say rough.
But to be fair, it’s not threatening in any way, it’s just not pretty, just as the outskirts of any tourist city is to be fair.
So in conclusion: reasonably priced hotel, friendly staff, not pretty location.

Hôtel très correct, situé à 20 minutes à pied de la gare centrale, c’est peut-être le point négatif. Autrement c’est un excellent rapport qualité-prix.

Vado frequentemente all’HC3 quando sono a Bologna per lavoro. Continua a mantenere un buon livello per la comodità delle camere, la tranquillità della zona, la possibilità di parcheggio, e la colazione, continentale, standard senza fronzoli (le uova strapazzate ci vorrebbero però!) e ad un buon prezzo.
Personale cordiale e gentile. Resta il mio riferimento in zona CNR quando vado a Bologna.

Hotel praticamente attaccato a villa erbosa, quindi comodo per me che volevo stare vicino a mio marito. Colazione semplice e basica, con poca scelta, ma buonina. Camere molto piccole, per due. Alla fine un hotel che non eccelle ma comunque buono e comodo.

Oda temizdi ve çalışanlar da gayet güleryüzlüydü.
Kahvaltı çok iyi değildi ama yeterliydi.
En sevdiğim yanı ise otelin çok yakınından 11 numaralı otobüsle tarihi meydana ulaşmak çok kolaydı.

Vennlig personale, ikke supermoderne, men helt greit. Noe begrenset frokost, men utenfor sesong, og få gjester, så det er fornuftig med tanke på matsvinn. Eneste store minuset er sengen, den var aldeles grusom.

Camera pulita ma essenziale, sembra più un 3 stelle anni 70 (specie il bagno, con docciano fisso tra l'altro) che un 4 stelle moderno.

Resta un hotel comodo per la Bolognina
Ho alloggiato al HC3 diverse volte negli ultimi 15 anni. È rimasto pressoché invariato. Commento positivo e negativo, naturalmente. Con gli standard di oggi si considererebbe un hotel 3 stelle ( per quanto queste abbiano un valore limitato). Ottima pulizia, stanze comode e bagno non grande ma comodo. Colazione continentale ma senza uova strapazzate (solo sode). Buoni croissant e poco altro, frutta.
Per lavoro o soggiorni brevi resta un’ottima scelta per la zona Bolognina (CNR, fiere). Quasi l’unico in zona. Personale sbrigativo, ma gentile.
