Although it is clear that this hotel has a lot of fame behind it and is kind of old-school, it offers spacious rooms with original original equipment which is much better then today's standards of other hotels in Italy. Other hotels offers perhaps newer but definitely smaller rooms for a similar price. In rooms,sometimes something is missing somewhere - some cover, etc., but otherwise everything is done with quality material - stone, wood and clean, well-maintained and functional. We had a room with a balcony, a fairly large bathroom and we were very satisfied.

There was no instruction in English in the room.

Very comfortable room in brilliant location. Less than a mile from the city centre and just a 7 minute walk from the airport bus - which only cost 1.5 Euro when we arrived!!Cheapest transfer to a hotel ever! The breakfast was included and the room was cleaned every morning. The staff were very helpful. We had a large room with a big balcony, though they don't all have that.

Nothing to say here, except that it would have been nice to have a couple of chairs on the balcony.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Grand Hotel Elite in Bologna! From the moment I stepped into the hotel, I felt warmly welcomed by the incredible staff. A special thank you to the gentleman at reception who went above and beyond to make my visit unforgettable – his professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail were truly exceptional. The breakfast was nothing short of amazing – a delicious spread that catered to all tastes. The fresh pastries, savory options, and, of course, the coffee were simply divine. I started each day with a perfect cappuccino, and it was honestly some of the best coffee I’ve had in Italy! The entire team at the hotel was outstanding. Everyone I encountered, from housekeeping to the restaurant staff, was friendly, helpful, and made me feel at home. Their dedication to providing excellent service was evident in every detail. The hotel's charm, cleanliness, and central location only added to the experience. I can’t wait to return to Bologna and stay at the Grand Hotel Elite again. Grazie mille to the whole team for making my stay so special!

Everything was perfect

A very beautiful room in the style of the 80's! We really liked the price/quality relation, size of the room and hotel's location. The bus stop is 3 minutes from the hotel and there's really nice bar/restaurant street in a 15 minutes walk from the hotel too. There's also a good self-service laundry just around the corner. Looking forward to booking that same hotel for my next trip to Bologna

The air conditioning system is probably old so you can hear it work at night, but it's not too disturbing. The water-pressure is also a bit poor, can be improved. Everything else really exceeded all expectations, thank you!

The stay was very pleasant and comfortable. The staff at the reception were incredibly kind, polite, and welcoming – they truly made a great impression. The room was clean and cozy, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was relaxing.

The elevator was quite small, which made it a bit inconvenient, especially with luggage.

The rooms were very well furnished. The location is great, with a bus stop nearby that makes it easy to get around the city in no time.

The blankets weren’t very comfortable to sleep in, and some surfaces were a bit dusty, but otherwise there’s nothing to complain about.

The room was big and clean, big bathroom, many towels, there was air conditioning. The hotel is easy to find, there is a bus stop not far from it. Airport is in 20 minutes from the hotel.

The air conditioning system was pretty loud, so we should turn it off at night to be able to sleep.

The place was magical, not a super modern facility but has a nice vibe and a great location very close to the center. The room was very spacious, and the staff were very nice. The receptionist Edoardo was very friendly and helped us with information about the city. Great value for money I will go back when I am in Bologna

Great location. Build to be a real hotel in its time. It is old, but well preserved. Room was really big and comfortable.

Appereance is a bit shady and does not justify the acctual value of a place. Small touch in dressing the place is needed to refresh it.

the staff was very friendly. the receptionist Roberto was very nice and very helpful man!

The hotel is furnished in a bit old style, but I liked it. The staff was busy with polishing and keeping everything clean..
