Loved by Hotel Donatello guests
"Our room was a bit unusual; two bathrooms, one with a toilet, bidet and sink (but had pipes in the wall for previous shower) and a second with a sink, toilet and tub with a shower wand attached to a wall rod but no shower curtain or splash panel."
"Excellent breakfast buffet, a selection of pastries, cold meats, breads, cereals and yogurts."
"Great location, 10 mins walk from the station & only 5 mins to main square & historical sites."

“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.”

Convenient stay near the station
central locationfriendly staffluggage storage
The hotel's location IS great. The train station and many interesting places are nearby. The staff was friendly and very helpful . I used the luggage storage, because I had a late departure.
The variety at breakfast was minimal.
Location
9/10
The proximity to the train station made arriving and departing very simple. It is only a short walk. Several nice restaurants are nearby, offering diverse dining options for lunch or dinner, so I had many choices.
Rooms
8/10
The room was compact, but it provided everything I needed for a comfortable short stay. I appreciated that the heating worked GREAT. The room was kept spotlessly clean by the housekeeping staff throughout my visit.
