Franklin, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This hotel exceeded my expectations given previous Expedia ratings. The staff are not that friendly and the hotel corridors and reception are very dated but my room was spacious, incredibly clean and in a superb location. Highly recommend booking this as a cost-effective base in Bologna.

older property, not pleasant staff.
Catalina, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Cozy room with wood floor and classic wood decor and 1970 ish tech panels. Room in 1st floor was generally quiet and spacious. Room is clean daily by staff, but did notice a thin coat of dust on some old panels. Bathroom is spacious with a separate bidet and small shower stand. Bus stops, supermarkets, and some restaurants are within walking distances . Price is reasonable $60-$70/night.

2/10 Terrible

The room smelt like cigarettes so they turned off the AC hoping that would solve the problem but then the room got so hot so we changed rooms at night. We woke up and the room was so hot so we complained and eventually had to change to another room!
Joanne, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Amazing customer service and communication skills!
Benyam, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a lovely room with a balcony. It was really more of a suite and suited our group of three singles traveling together. Our room was large, with plenty of space to spread out. The staff was great.

Basic

Average condition hotel. We had two rooms as we were a family of 4. Both rooms comfortable, clean. No amenities in the room. Restaurant only open for breakfast.
Janice, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Lovely hotel and great sized rooms. Quite a walk from central Bologna, around 30 minutes but it is an easy route to take. Good transport connections outside the property.
Faye, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Helpful staff and decent on-site parking area. The parking area and the streets surrounding the hotel are a little narrow, as is typical of Bologna, but can successfully accommodate at least a mid-sized SUV. The room itself was very spacious and had plenty of surfaces for use and storage. Lots of amenities and lots of windows that can let in natural light (with adjustable blinds). We would've liked to be able to adjust the shower water to be hotter, but had no issue with the sink/wash basin tap. The beds were very large and comfortable. Very reasonably priced breakfast. There are also several small sit-down and take-out restaurants within walking distance, as well as a couple small grocery stores. Around an hour's drive away from the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari, though it will take longer during the race weekend due to traffic. Also within walking distance of the train station and multiple bus stops. We enjoyed our stay, and the extremely spacious room was definitely a big highlight!
Cynthia, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hotel is very old, and it shows in the interior, I also think some furniture on the porch would of been a nice touch. When we initially arrived the power didn’t work, but that was a simple misunderstanding, which was quickly resolved upon notifying the staff, who kindly came to alleviate the problem. I’m not a fan of secret fees When we initially arrived we had to pay extra for cleaning, this was not stated during booking so we had to drop another 24 € upon checking in. I’m not a fan of this, I think cleaning should either be included in the booking price, or the fee should be stated upon booking. But I understand that this is standard practice in Italy, still not a fan of the practice.

Rooms and place is old, needs to upgrade. The construction in front of the hotel is very inconvenient. Good thing we had parking space at no charge.

2/10 Terrible

"(...) don't forget to review Grand Hotel Elite." I received this message after my stay. Are you sure you want to hear from me? I'll try not to be offensive, as I could tell the staff were doing a great job trying to compensate for what the hotel itself failed to offer. The entire building should probably be demolished and rebuilt from scratch. We only needed a room for a few hours, as we landed in the evening and had an early morning appointment in town. For that reason, we couldn’t be bothered to make a formal complaint at the time. To be honest, I still don't know where to begin. I’ll just mention that there was something that looked like a dishwasher, bizarrely placed in the middle of the room.
Stefano, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The staff were friendly and the room was clean. The shower head holder was broken this was reported to staff but it was not fixed for our stay. The breakfast was not worth 8 euros. It was a choice of cold bacon and cold scrambled eggs. Toast. A cold boiled egg.The coffee machine was broken. Plus a continental breakfast. As you walk into the hotel it is very dark wood as it is a retro hotel but looks very old. There is no evening meal availability as the restaurant is closed.
