Hotel Astoria

· The hotel is very close to Bologna Centrale, 5 minutes and 15/20 minutes from Maggiore Square - The room was large with a double bed, a clean bathroom and the most important thing for the winter period (January) was HOT - Good breakfast, as well as the coffee · The room where breakfast is served is small - wifi in the room doesn't really work ok

Easy walk from train stn. Room clean bed comfortable breakfast very good. Up the next street is the best restaurant Il Veliero not expensive make a booking or you won’t get in

Very spacious and clean room. The room was very quiet so we slept very comfortably. The breakfast had different good things to chose from. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend this hotel

Hotel Astoria Bologna. We got off to a bad start when we were given the wrong room and staff insisted that was the one I booked...When i showed the booking confirmation booking a room with a balcony and view (rather than ground floor over the garage and car park) they realised their error blaming the booking system !!...Why can't hotels just say 'sorry'. The room, simply furnished, was fine and the small balcony a good place to chill after a day walking the city. The Astoria is NOT city centre, and for us two fit but 71 year olds we found the advertised 'short' walk (just over a mile) to the city centre quite exhausting. The Hotel area is quiet and we felt quite safe, even late at nigh walking back. Breakfast, served indoors or outside was pretty chaotic and typicaly Italian, lots of cakes and sweet things which were very good. It would have been nice to have had some nice coffee but the 'Coffee machine' was always out of order..'It needs a service' we were told...the 'auto coffee' machine served dark brown liquid bearing little resemblance to coffee ! A clean up of the outside area where we ate would have been nice. The Astoria is a mid budget hotel, but even so not cheap...but Bologna is not cheap, so market forces dictate. The Astoria is slightly down at heel and needs a good clean and smarten up. The many staff on duty were, on the whole, enthusiastic but always so busy...they also look after several nearby apartments served by the Astoria booking system. I would like to thank the hotel for sending a nice bottle of red wine to my room courtesy of the hotel for my 71st birthday..a nice touch. Would i go back ?...sadly no...in 2023 it just isn't good enough to take my £....

The Hotel Astoria as well, located near the bus and train stations and not that far of a walk from the center. The museum of modern art is only about two blocks away. The included breakfast was quite good. The staff were very helpful.

I was a bit worried about staying here after reading some recent reviews but thankfully we had a lovely stay. We were allocated a room within the main hotel as the room they first room allocated to us had not be cleaned. There was a mix up in the information reception received. Our room was clean with a very comfortable kingsize bed. The rest of the room had minimum furniture. As our stay was only for 2 nights it was not a problem. Only gripe was the noise of the extractor fan in the toilet, which automatically came on once the light was switched on, which was like a plane taking off.
