Hotel Maggiore

This hotel proves that it has 3 stars! The staff is very helpful, my room was clean and had everything that I needed for my stay. I booked a room without breakfast, and the hotel left 2 bottles of water and 2 snacks for me for free. Big Esselunga supermarket is within 5 minutes of walking distance, and the a stop is in front of this Esselunga. The location is good if you want to stay closer to the airport, or you can take a bus and in 20-25 minutes be at the central railway station. Also I was pleasantly surprised by a little present that the hotel staff left for me on the New Year's Eve and a bookcrossing shelf on my floor.

Hotel Maggiore went beyond my expectations for a 3 star hotel. The room had a walk in closet, a pants press, a tea kettle, a heated towel rack and a bidet, and the staff were excellent. When I checked in, the lady booked a taxi for us for the next morning. When I checked out the staff was very pleasant at 4 in the morning. The shower was kind of funky and it was near a noisy street, so you will probably need ear plugs, but the sink was the largest I have experienced in Europe and the shower was warm and I slept well (with my ear plugs). All in all, a great hotel for the price and location. My room had a sliding door and a balcony, which was a bonus even though I wasn't able to use it.

This is the second time I've stayed at this hotel. It is now my go-to place in Bologna. It really is everything a comfortable and well-run mid-range hotel should be: the rooms are clean and well-appointed; the staff are polite and helpful; the breakfast is extensive and varied. Close to the hotel there is a vast supermarket and two great Trattorias; there are bus stops serving the town centre.

Very large room with big bathroom and bath. High ceilings are remarkably clean. Walk in closet and safe that functioned well. There was also a FREE mini bar with water and some some snacks to take and coffee and tea in the room. Breakfast was very tasty and with a large selection. Fresh fruit was great, pasty and cakes as well as hot food and very nice cold cuts of local meat. Proper coffee too.

Excellent service, Reception 24 hours with highly professional and extremely welcoming staff. Check in was seamless. Our room was triple share as we were travelling with our son, it was very spacious, light and breezy and very comfortable. The breakfast staff were exceptional and remembered guests particular coffee order daily. The breakfast was delicious and for 8 Euro it is great value. It provided hot and cold foods which were always fresh and lovely. The hotel also has an offsite food menu which we used a couple of times which was beautiful food , no fuss and great value. The hotel also has a self service washing machine and dryer which I also used a couple of times. It was a great hotel , I was delightfully surprised. The property is outside of the city centre however we walked to Piazza Maggiore daily in 30 minutes. We. will be travelling to Bologna for the next 2 years regularly and this will be our go to Hotel without a doubt. It was absolutely lovely to stay here.
