Bologna House Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

The Starhotel Excelsior is located directly across the street from the central train station, thus is very convenient for those arriving to Bologna by rail. It is also very easy to come in by car without having to battle the traffic of central Bologna and parking is very easy. The hotel is a 15 minute walk to the central square. The walk is pleasant day or night on streets lined with shops and restaurants. The area around central station is lively at any time and feels reasonably safe. The hotel itself is quite modern. Rooms are large and quiet despite its proximity to the bustle of the train station. The quality of the rooms and service is extremely good for the price.

Very close to the Twin Towers and the main campus of Bologna, a very small hotel. Very clean and the room is not small. After staying, I went out for a lap and came back with a welcome fruit. The breakfast was underground, slightly darker, but it was also cleverly designed according to local conditions. Looking out the window of the room, you can see the corner of the twin towers. It is very quiet at night and sleeps very well. The front desk staff is very handsome and uncle, the whole hotel style is very artistic, and overall it is still very good stay experience.

I have stayed in this hotel before, so I booked it again this time, but the experience was not as good as the last time! The room was small and a bit crowded. I stayed for two nights and when it was cleaned the next day, tea bags and toiletry bags were not added. Not friendly enough. The location of the hotel is very good, just a few minutes' walk from the train station and within walking distance to the city center square. The people on the hotel are very friendly! However, the price of the hotel is not cheap, especially on weekends.

Two stars because it is a nice hotel with comfortable beds. Thats about it. It is certainly not a five star hotel, which it purports to be. We arrived around 8pm and advised reception that we needed to leave for the airport at five am. At some point reception advises that the booking was for one person and they had to charge us for the second. I have never heard of this! So for the extra person for our 8 hour stay, they wanted €100! What the hell for? I looked on a booking sight and showed the receptionist that I could still book a room (which would come with a free bottle of wine) for two people for exactly what I paid. Receptionist kept saying that it would be more if i booked through the hotel. Lets follow the logic here. Why would i book directly through the hotel if the same room is less on a booking sight? The most irritating part is that she kept laughing inappropriately for some unknown reason. The male receptionist kept insisting that the € 100 was for the ”free” hot breakfast. We reminded him that we had to leave before breakfast was served. He assured us that there would be a cart full of food in the morning before we left. Long story short, that did not happen. There was a cart with coffee and a few pastries. But wait, there's more! The man at the reception in the morning told us that if we had asked, they would have made us breakfast. That would have been nice if it was ever suggested by reception at check in! A real five star hotel would have just taken the initiative to prepare the bagged breakfast for us given the conversation had the night before. I also enjoyed how the staff talked down to us insisting that a €100 per person euro fee is totally normal. Because I've never stayed in a hotel before! Thats sarcasm btw. Again, this certainly was not a five star experience. And just to compare apples to apples, we stayed at a four star hotel when we arrived in bologna 10 days earlier. It was 1/5 the cost, the staff much more accommodating and was just as comfortable and nice. So do yourself a favor and ignore the alleged five star rating and save your money and nerves by staying anywhere else.

Perfect stay, few steps away from the train station and the historical center, right in front of the Montagnola Park. The room was perfect, ready despite my early arrival. A huge thanks to Tommaso and the whole front desk team for the kindness and the professionality, you really made the difference! See you on my next visit!

This hotel is a hidden gem in the edgy student area - it is beautifully presented, immaculately clean and is staffed by warm inviting people who simply cannot do enough for you . On entering the room we were met with welcome biscuits … Within 30 mins of arriving we had a knock on our door asking if everything was ok and presenting us with chocolates … the same happened the next night. Breakfast is delicious - a wonderful spread plus food cooked to order should you so wish They presented us with a list of restaurants which may interest us and made reservations for us too Some of the warmest and most obliging staff I have encountered on my travels

We loved this hotel. Everything was brilliant from the lovely staff to the comfortable room, (with a superb shower), and the generous breakfast. Our only regret? That we didn't stay in Bologna longer. We intend to remedy that, and when we do, we will definitely stay here!

I think it is relatively convenient because I walk along the arcade ７～８ minutes from the station. There are several hotels in front of the station, and I stayed almost all, but I think it is a good choice with the balance of cost and content. However, if you use the railway frequently from Bologna station, the station front hotel may be good. Before the Marconi express started operating, the bus stop of the airport bus was near the hotel and it was convenient, but the bus was lost and the central station (and the opposite side, so the underground passage was extended 々 It can be said that the superiority of the location is not a prospect. Because it is an old hotel, the quality of the room is ok, but it is always kept clean and there is no dissatisfaction at all. There were many friendly staff, so I didn't feel uncomfortable. After getting off the lift, it is forced to go up and down a little step to the room, but it is not so painful. Is breakfast a little worried, and the service has fallen a little compared to the previous? Well, it tends to be similar in other hotels, but the coffee service seems to be changing to the basic self, and I have served many delicious cappuccinos that I had made very good before. It seems that it is not serviced unless it asks if it is the effect of reducing the staff. The food choice may be only this time in the degree that it is less comfortable. I felt rich and delicious as usual. For myself, as long as this breakfast service and quality are maintained, this hotel wants to leave as an option.
