Proper, fully serviced professional hotel in a world where this is not always the case. More than adequately staffed and all the amenities you would expect. Breakfast good, plentiful and something for everyone - scrambled eggs particularly good; self-serve coffee from machine but the staff will make cappuccino, etc, if you ask. Hotel is convenient for the rail station - just a 10 min walk away - and the Marconi Express monorail to the airport (we did it in under 25 minutes, door-to-door). 10-15 min walk to the Centro Storico. I liked the well-staffed bar and comfortable public lounge. Tea and coffee in the room which was replenished every day. There was a hair dryer which did dry hair but not much good for styling as not hot enough, so if this is important to you, bring your own. All in all, I was pleased with my choice of hotel.

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.

Location was excellent and near the train station, hotel could store our luggage for pick up for a train later in the day (mark of a fantastic hotel in Italy!), room cleanliness was fantastic (seriously - props!), the provided soaps were lovely, bed was comfy, rooms were quiet after all the tour groups were tucked in for the night (caveat: One night a tour group came back late, and the guide was clearly giving instructions at around 11:30pm and woke us up. I'm a light sleeper.) Overall we enjoyed our stay, but wished the price was a bit more palatable, and included breakfast for such a steep price.
