“Hotel Donatello strikes a balance between cost and location in Bologna's city center; the train station and historical sites are easily walkable. I appreciate the reliable basics-air conditioning, consistent hot water, and soundproofed rooms-coupled with a 24-hour desk, making it a practical choice for short stays when exploring the city. While décor is simple, the pet-friendly policy and luggage storage are definite advantages.”
