The location was GREAT! But beyond the location, the place was BEAUTIFUL! It was decorated very well, timeless in fact. It was a beautiful property. We walked our luggage from the train station - it wasnt a terrible walk. But returning to the train we took an Uber, as in August in Italy, it was warm. It was easy to get to the main sites in Bologna - VERY walkable. Super attentive staff, who went out of their way to make our stay more enjoyable. The breakfast had everything anyone would want - Great coffee, juices, croissants, Eggs, Bacon, typical meats from the area, fruits... with this who needs lunch! Although the food in Bologna is amazing! Our room was very spacious. We had a great shower, and as an American, we LOVE our Air Conditioning. The A/C worked VERY well. There was a fridge with a minibar - but you could also put beer or soda in the minibar (we removed water which we didnt drink, then returned to the fridge). The bed ... Possibly the most comfortable bed and sheets I have slept on. And if you like Sushi - about a block or two away - was a sushi place we ate at, that was AMAZING! 24 bucks to try anything and everything on their menu, and the food was spectacular. Frankly - the food everywhere in Bologna is spectacular. Alessandro at the desk went out of his way to make sure we had a great room, and new where to go and what to see.

This hotel is located very centrally in Bologna, within walking distance of the train station, in one direction, and the main commercial streets in the other direction. Therefore, very convenient. If you have a car, it offers paid parking with some very helpful parking attendants. Importantly, it is not located in the limited traffic zone of central Bologna (spoken as someone who has been stung by fines in the past). The rooms are very comfortable, and the breakfast is excellent. For example, in addition to coffee machines, staff come to take your coffee orders should you want it. Special requests have all been granted (e.g. additional pillows and towels) promptly. The gym has modern machines. Overall, this hotel slightly exceeded my expectations, and I hope to return soon.

We stayed at the Royal Hotel Carlton during our honeymoon, and it was a fantastic experience. The hotel itself is stunning, and our room was beautifully designed, and had a comfortable bed. The bathroom was spotless and luxurious. Eleanora at the reception desk was exceptional—she went above and beyond to make our stay special, providing us with personalized recommendations for dining and activities in Bologna and even tips for the rest of our trip in Italy. Her kindness and attention to detail truly made a difference. The hotel’s location was perfect, within walking distance to everything we wanted to explore, and the breakfast spread each morning was superb. We can’t wait to return!

It felt like you are back in 80th-90th - classic European hotel in style of years behind! Surprisingly, despite this retro style furnitures-lights-interiors, the items are truly well-maintained and are in really excellent condition. We were impressed by this hotel style, as well as by the stuff cordiality. The dinner at the restaurant was also excellent. The hotel has guarded parking. The breakfast is with a good choice. Moreover there is a well equipped gym, which is not obvious from the photos on booking. Overall we have enjoyed a lot the atmosphere and for sure to be back to discover the rest of it.

The Reception Staff, the Cleaning Staff, the Spa Staff and Breakfast Staff were Awesome. The room was very clean and the bed was wonderfully comfortable. The Spa was Amazing. The location was walking distance from train station, sites, shopping and very good restaurants. The bathroom was very clean, the towels were plush. I felt very good/safe in this location. I slept very well. I returned a couple of nights after because I very much liked the Quality I received.
