Hotel Fiera - Bologna

8.5

Excellent price (only 32€!). The hotel is in a very isolated area, it is strongly suggested to have a car. Chaotic and disappointing breakfast; few tables for the guests in the hotel (be prepared to fight to find a table) and very cheap quality of food and beverage.

8.9

great place to stay next time i will stay here and do a day trip to venice (large parking station 4 stores in walking distance to city ) and get value for money and guys keep your eyes on the road in the nearby streets!

6.1

the hotel is very close to the street and the railroad, so during the night you can easely hear the trafic sounds. It's not quite at all... but if you want to spend a few money (but not during fairs period) and have a nice service you can choose it. the rooms are not soundproofed....

9.2

Not the first time here. However, this time round the shower was not properly cleaned. Also our room was next to the elevator and so there were a few vibrations whenever it was used. Otherwise, excellent value for money.

7.9

General speaking, the hotel is very good, the room I had was clean and comfortable; the only problem I had is that it faced the street which is very noisy at any time. Considering the low price paid for a double-single use I can consider myself satisfied.

9.8

Not our first time here. It is close to motorway but still not far from city centre. Very convenient and cheap.

9.6

We stayed three nights at this hotel. The room was very spacious and modern, as the hotel is quite new. First night we stayed in the upper floor, and since it was so hot outside, the air conditioner could not cool the room enough. The staff was kind to change our room the next morning, and for our surprise, we got even better and bigger room from the second floor, which was a lot cooler. Excellent relationship between price and quality, and breakfast was also included in the price. Although the hotel is about 4 km from the Bologna city centre, the bus connections are very good and cheap. We would definitely go back anytime, and would recommend this to anyone travelling to Bologna.

7.6

Broken air conditioning, a bit noisy room, otherwise it is very good value for the money

ottimo hotel

6.3

Hotel Fiera was not easy to find as we arrived at night. Bologna is a big city. Best to have a good GPS or map and not just rely on direction from Google Maps. :o) Hotel was clean and the restaurant downstairs was not bad. The staff speak poor English even at the reception, and the receptionist didn't seem willing to do more than his job description says (we needed help with decyphering some medicine we received for our 6 months old baby who had a fever - instruction were in Italian only). Bologna was just a stopover for the night after visiting San Gimignano (very recommended) and before heading off to France in the morning, so I can't say much about the city itself except that it's much bigger than we expected it to be. The price is good for what you get but the location seemed a bit away from everything. But anyway we were told you cannot drive into the city and can only go by taxi, so maybe if you take the taxi into consideration (I think they said it would be about 15EUR) then maybe it's an ok location, although you need to consider the extra costs involved. If you have kids or prefer to have better access, I would recommend staying nearer to the center, pending your budget of course.

8.8

Good breakfast. Big rooms well cleaned. Price-Quality: excellent!!

9.6

What a great deal. If you are driving this is the place to stay. It is out of the city center but not that far.

2.6

the only plus of this hotel is the price. it`s low. but everything else was the terrible. the stuff were very unwelcoming, the carpet in the room was dirty, there was only one towel in the the bathroom for two people!!! besides that, they charged the money before our arrival!!!

8.4

A great deal for the price! The rooms are very clean and are more of a 4* standard - although don't expect the same from the breakfast and the view from the window. The reception staff are helpful and efficient. The hotel is at the very outskirts of Bologna, but if you're arriving by car, this may actually be an advantage, as there's no problem with the free parking. To get to the city centre by car, drive to Piazza dell'Otto Augosto, where there's a huge underground car park for €1.60/hour and then walk further south. A better option, however, may be taking a 3-min walk along the unassuming Via Giovanni Casoni to the first junction with Via Ferrarese, from where the frequent bus 25 takes you straight into the old city.

5.9

Camere pulite ma piccole. Arredamento camera buono. In bagno non ci riesce a muovere (il WC è incastrato tra doccia e bidet). Materasso troppo duro. Colazione scadente. Avevo chiesto una camera silenziosa e nel mio piano sono stati alloggiati gli studenti di una gita scolastica, che hanno schiamazzato per gran parte della notte. Nonostante la mia richiesta, non sono stata spostata di camera e nessuno ha minimamente provveduto al silenzio.

9.8

Fiera more than exceeded our expectations. We paid very little for our stay and had a jacuzzi tub and a very large room.

7.9

Good quality for money if there is not a fair going on. They should put a good description of how to get there by public transport on their web site though. It is much more easy than it seems. From the central station, take a number 25 bus in the direction of Dozza (coming from the station, you have to cross the main road) and alight at the Casoni stop. Follow the road sign (to the right) and it is only a 5 minutes walk. The bus also runs to the city centre until after midnight. The surroundings of the hotel are not very inspiring, but seem to be alright.

8.1

i hane been well. the breakfast was excellent and abundant.

9.1

Rapporto qualità prezzo imbattibile, ristrutturato di recente, belle camere.

9.1

We stayed in a double standard room. Reception and services were really excellent. Position of hotel to city: with car or public transport: minutes. Really good. Surrounding is something else. All hotels are positioned like Fiera here, and you just forget it, but is not worse then anywere else. Hookers on the corner, Burgerking on 100 meter, busy in the morning, but the hotel has really green forsidegarden and you easily acces to anywhere. Top !!

7.0

The room where the morning breakfast is served, was too small for accomodating all the guests!.

8.6

I used also restaurant, Was excellent

8.2

the room is excellent for the price you pay- but be prepared, because it really IS noisy!!!

9.1

This hotel is excellent value, rooms are spacious enough, the bathroom was very clean, with a shower cabin large enough for two people. Buffet breakfast was great!

8.4

Very good room and breakfast. Real good value for money

8.6

I must say that the hotel was not awesome, but it cost us 40 EU the night, with breakfast included. So, I'd say that you get a lot for what you pay.

7.9

quite small and noisy room but clean. close to fiera. good price/quality

7.8

Absolutely simple hotel to drive to/from the airport and access to autostrada, that is why we chose it. However we found it very difficult to get the bus into and out of the city center. Luckily we had help from friends that live in the area otherwise we would have spent a great deal of time riding the wrong buses and missing our stops. If you stay here because of the driving convenience, do more research on bus numbers, stops than we did.

9.4

The only spot is the outside lightening (too strong) on the front rooms and they're not completely dark in the night.

9.8

Good!!!!

6.3

The price has risen since our stay in June (€10), the restaurant not yet open. Breakfast room very small and little space. For buseness people ideal.

10

real surprise: three star hotel for real bargain, 45 eur single (king size bed, big room) + 6 eur indoor parking.

7.1

Hotel was clean, staff friendly. rooms smelt strange. loud surrounding, close to big roads. Breakfast was o.k. Breakfast room small and the service could have been better.

9.4

Wonderful place to stay for the price of 17 euros/person. It can be easily a 4 starts hotel but with the price of a hostel. The best in Bologna!!!

9.9

A cute hotel, that worth more than 3 stars!!!Well-designed rooms, nice atmosphere, tasty breakfast and caring staff.

9.1

Great hotel for the price. Really conveniently located and easy to find, just off the ring road - also close to the airport. We had two rooms - one with a very large double, and the other with three singles. Rooms are pretty large, well equiped and clean, and buffet breakfast included in price. Easy to drive to centre of Bologna from hotel, and there's also a good pizzeria within walking distance. - Couldn't really ask for much better at the price.

8.6

the price of this hotel varies greatly depending on whether there is an exhibition at the Fiera. I think we stayed there for only 40 Euros a night, which was a bargain. If you drive, it was a short drive into the Centro. There is an excellent restaurant/Pizzeria just round the corner. Italian food at its finest. Nice stay.

9.4

A great hotel if you have a car, the trip into town was only 10 minutes and there are a few parking lots on the outskirts of the limited traffic zone. Our airconditioning worked just fine and once the shutter was closed, the train noise was significantly reduced. We thought the breakfast selection was great and especially the standard of coffee on offer.

6.5

Hotel at very cheap price but in crappy district. Internet was a complete rip-off, especially compared to other Italian hotels we stayed at on this trip. Room was quite good - modern and clean - but without character. Price excellent, therefore a reasonable place to stay if traveling on a small budget.

9.8

We booked 2 triple rooms for one night and were impressed by the size of the rooms! The train close by is quite loud, but we couldn't hear it with windows closed and were not bothered by it during the night. Staff friendly, breakfast simple, parking in front of the hotel, close to the city centre, great value! We would definitely recommend it!

7.7

Mi sono trovato abbastanza bene:ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo

8.1

Mi son trovato molto bene in questo albergo. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Stanza pulita, spaziosa, LCD e doccia idromassaggio. Colazione davvero super. Consigliato.

9.4

Hotel Fiera is a business hotel with a full and significant breakfast included in the price. We walked to a nearby restaurant, Rococo, for delicious seafood. Closeness to Bologna a real plus. The staff was very helpful and the rates were excellent. We stayed here at the beginning of our trip and again at the end of it. Smooth driving to hotel with excellent directions.

8.7

Nice room, quiet and comfortable for a honest price. Hotel's position in very good to get to the Fiera, quite far from the center but well-linked by buses. Only the breakfast was a little poor, just one flavour of jam, about juices only a red one, and not so good, I think if the breakfast was a little better, Hotel Fiera would be perfect! All in all, a good place to stay. Nice trip

7.6

The hotel is quite far from city center. Bus stop to city center is walking distance but on the far side. The room is clean, new & bed is comfortable albeit small. The receptionist is somewhat helpful, but not the nicest compared to all other hotels I stayed in Italy. Next time I would probably prefer to stay in a property closer to city center. But the hotel is a very good value hotel.

7.9

Hotel was very clean and pleasant although far away from any facilities. Definitely would need a car. Would stay there if travel on business but not for holidays as there is no nice views around the hotel. breakfast was average, not many options available.

9.7

The hotel met all our standards. An excellent hotel for such a low price. Of course it's location is not very good but you may easily get to the city center by bus. The bus stop is 2 minutes walk from the hotel. And by the way there is an excellent restaurant just near the hotel where we tasted the best pasta in Italy!

9.2

Rapport qualité/prix exceptionnel. Nous avions une chambre spacieuse avec balcon et une grande salle de bain. Le seul problème est que nous étions à côté de l'ascenceur qui était bruyant. Chambres en excellent état de très bon standing. Petit déjeuner très correct

8.7

perfect

7.7

the hotel itself is really nice, the only bad comment I would do is about the noise. The hotel is situated on a very busy road, and also close to a railway, so it was difficult to sleep! the railway is working most of the night, because is transporting goods, so the wagons are longer than a passenger train, and also for a longer period of time, and very very noisy. the rest was fine.

9.8

We have just returned from the Hotel Fiera in Bologna… I have never written a review before but felt this hotel really deserved a mention. Hotel was spotlessly clean, staff very friendly, very efficient. It's very easy to find it, because is situated 500 meter from the tangential exit Nr. 7 - and it's even written Via Stalingrado, that helps a lot! For those with cars - excellent! We left our car on the hotel parking and took 20 minute walk in one direction which took us to the old town of Bologna. Hotel room? Very clean and spacious. Breakfast? Typical Italian - with several types of cakes. To conclude: A very nice hotel that looked good on the reviews and turn out even better.

9.7

it was a very clean and friendly hotel, always there to please. the rooms were unbelievable, i would recomend this hotel to anyone.

8.2

The hotel is really close to the exibition and not so far from the center. Rooms quite small but OK. We tried the restaurant too and it's not so bad at all.

9.4

renewed room!!! Fiera was already a great choice for business, now it's even better.

6.3

un buon rapporto prezzo qualità; ottimo ristorante in qualità e prezzi

8.9

Rapporto qualità/prezzo ottimo. Stanze spaziose e pulite (la nostra aveva anche il balconcino). Il centro e la stazione sono facilmente raggiungibili con il pullman (che ferma a meno di 5 min dall'albergo) e l'auto. Colazione ottima. Hotel molto frequentato da giovani.

9.9

Excellent location for those who have a car, next to the speedway and the airport. New and very clean rooms, very comfortable bed, modern TV set (LCD on the wall). Fridge full of beverages. Excellent bathroom, modern, clean, very nice and spacious. Breakfast room also very good and spacious with a nice design, nice ambience. Very good relation of the price to proposed stuff. I recommend this hotel to all, those who drive should try it.

7.0

Very far to center. If you are stranger, will be a bit difficult to walk to centre, you may takee a bus. Is a Quiet and relaxing place. Surrounding are industrial, not very charming. But the services are also good.

9.8

really great hotel with wonderful room. Only bad thing was distance -You have to use taxi or bus to go to downtown.Otherwise I can highly recommend!

9.9

This hotel was a great place for us to stay for one night. 10 Euro cab ride to the city center.

8.8

5min by car to the center of Bologna.

8.4

The hotel was being refurbished, so no resturant or room service was available. But the breakfast room was great and the builders didn't make too much noise early in the mornings.

8.8

Excellent rapport qualité prix (notamment en été au mois d'août). Les chambres sont spacieuses et agréables et certaines sont dotées d'une terrasse. hotel un peu proche de la rocade mais le centre-ville est à 3 minutes en voiture (parking du 8 novembre)et il y a aussi des bus. Très bonne adresse à Bologne

8.9

nous sommes restés qu'une nuit mais hotel très agréable, très bon rapport qualité/prix, calme, un peu eloigné du centre ville seul inconvégnen, restaurant fermé en été et difficile de trouver de quoi de restaurer dans les environs le petit déjeuner pourrait être perfectionné

7.8

Hotel muy barato. Estupendo para el precio que tiene. Los alrededores son bastante feos pero está relativamente cerca del centro de Bolonia y muy cerca de la autopista de circunvalación. Muy buena relación calidad precio. Ahora bien, que nadie espere belleza y/o glamour en las habitaciones.

9.3

Ottimo hotel, in zona vicina al centro. E' preferibile utilizzare mezzo proprio soprattutto di sera. Camere perfette, personale cordiale.

9.8

super rapport qualité/prix, très classe

8.6

standard better than price should indicate

9.5

This was by far the best hotel we stayed at during our stay in Italy. The room was immaculate, modern, with all the ammenities needed, for a very reasonable price. It was almost like a boutique hotel room, the only drawback was that it was very near the convention center and far from the city center. There is one bus line that takes you straight to it from the train station, once you get off it you have to walk one long block to get to the hotel. This hotel block is somewhat empty and dark at night, so it may not be a good choice for a single female traveler, but if there is more than one person, I would highly recommend this hotel. The staff was fully bilingual and extremely helpful, we had to leave early the next day so we didn't get a chance to sample the breakfast buffet, but I think if it was in line with all the other services it would have been great too. I would highly recommend this property if you don't mind being outside the historic city center.

7.9

A little hard to find...but rooms are fine...

8.3

I stayed in Fiera in June 2007 with my girlfriend during our Italy roundtrip. Fiera is very conveniently located near the Bologna tangenziale freeway, however, in order to get to the center it is necessary to use the car or bus. The hotel is very clean and I liked the modern look of the rooms very much. Also the breakfast was superb. For the price - we paid only 45 EUR per night with Venere reservation it provided excellent value. Now the downside - the surroundings are scary. From our window we could see some whores looking for the customers near the freeway, and the in the street that leads to the bus station there are some Arab or Gypsy bars with creepy people crawling around. Therefore, it is the best to party on one of the balconies as we did (if you are lucky enough to get one of the rooms with a balcony) or go one of those wonderful restaurants in the Bologna center by car or taxi.

7.5

The location is convenient for the travelers who have cars. The rooms are clean and comfortable. We traveled in Italy for 10 days and this hotel is definitely good value for travelers to stay.

6.6

the bath is too small!! The room is ok.

8.1

Modern hotel with good price and nice rooms

7.2

Very convenient for the Bologna Fair. But you will need a taxi to get back to the Hotel after about 8pm from the city centre, as the buses to the Fair stop running. It is on a busy road which might keep you awake unless, like me, you're tired.

9.9

The hotel employees are very welcoming, everything is excellent. Next time when I come to this place again, Hotel Fiera will be my first choice and best choice.

8.7

We stayed there on Feb. The room is clean and breakfast is good. Though its location is a little far from city center, its reasonable price compensates the inconvenience.

8.9

Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel was very clean and smart.

5.5

My son and I stayed in a twin bed room and it was very small, no room for walking around. Clean,yes, bathroom clean, but my complaint would be the utter lack of reality for the menu downstairs. We ordered two plates of pasta pomodoro and they attempted to charge us 26 euro. This is outer space. Even a poor homeless barbone can get spaghetti with tomatoe sauce for a few cents. There were no other choices nearby for eating and no good walking to anything. However, on the flip side, and amazing, the breakfast selection was very fine and oppulent. Cannot recommend this property, although clean.

8.9

Fantastic quality for the price, the rooms were beautiful! Wireless internet in rooms was a huge bonus! Not the best location, but the bus that comes near the hotel takes you straight to the city center.

8.6

Very good and cheap hotel, we're a band and we had a show at Estragon (Parco Nord) and that venue is in a walking distance from the hotel. Thats great!

9.9

Davvero da consigliare. Stanze belle e pulite.Personale gentile e cordiale. Stanze con doccie o vasca Jacuzzi. Colazione ottima ed abbondante. Per € 50 scarsi pagati cosa pretendere di piu' per una matrimoniale? Tre stelle superiore per noi . Frigo bar cassaforte, pay tv e wifi completano il tutto. Eccellente!

6.6

personale dipendente (soprattutto di reception) un po' scontroso... rapporto qualità-prezzo buono... collegato discretamente col centro (ma non di notte...)... un autobus (viaggio di un quarto d'ora...)

9.7

This was my first time in Italy and this hotel was the first hotel we stayed in on our trip. The price was unbelievably low and we couldn't find a similar price anywhere else. Great hotel and I recommend it to anyone. The only disapointing thing was that we could hear the train outside.

9.4

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, belle stanze spaziose e pulite, ottima colazione, hotel in generale nuovo. Purtroppo non vi sono pullman che passano fuori l'albergo, ma in 10 minuti a piedi si arriva al centro fieristico (dal quale fino alle 7 di sera partono tutti i pullman per il centro). Ottimo per chi ha l'auto, ma comodo anche per chi è a piedi e deve recarsi al centro fiere di bologna.

9.5

For what you get, this place is an absolute bargain!!!!! 4 star hotel, excellent service, great breakfast, spotless rooms, very spacious and luxurious bathroom... a top find!!!! It is a bit far from the centre of Bologna, so cab it there from the train station (6 Euros). Once there, get the hotel to tell you where to catch the bus from to get back and forth from the centre. Once explained to you, it is very easy and only takes about 10 minutes. Would stay agin for sure!!!

6.6

It is a good hotel, but really far for the city centre. It is necessary to take the bus 25 (not indicated in the web hotel) to arrive, and the bus stop is far 500 ms from the hotel. Nevertheless, it is a cheap and confortable hotel in the surroundings of Bologna

9.6

Our stay at Fiera was excellent. We had a nice, big room with a terrace facing the street. The bathroom was big and clean, as was the rest of the room. If there is a trade fair going on, though, prices will go up. We paid 45 euro for a room that is 250 during fairs. But if you can stay here when there isn't something going on, you really can't beat the quality for the value. It is a little bit outside the city center, though. Very nice, great breakfast, too!

9.5

we stayed in a spacious comfortable, modernly furnished room. the hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. the breakfast's were lovely with a wide variety of choice and the overall stay was great.the price we paid was extremy good as we went out of fair time, however if you are planing on visiting bologna made sure you go when there are no trade fairs on as the hotel avalilablity goes down and the hotel prices go dramatically up.

9.0

Ottimo albergo facilmente raggiungibile in auto. Personale molto professionale e camere ampie ed arredate di tutto. Peccato, per l'utilizzo professionale, il WiFi a pagamento e decisamente caro.

9.2

Il rapporto qualità/prezzo in agosto è incredibile: le stanze sono grandi e con tutti i confort, in un altro periodo sicuramente costerebbero due o tre volte di più. Gli unici nei sono il parcheggio piuttosto piccolo e la zona, che è lontana dal centro (relativamente, Bologna è piccola) e piuttosto brutta e mal frequentata.

7.7

it's 3km from the center that its possible to do walking. Only - are that the hotel is situated in a area with light dressed girls hanging on the streets

8.4

Excellent rapport qualité-prix. Nous sommes très satisfait de cet hôtel, les chambres étaient agréables, la salle de bain très spacieuse, le personnel aimable et compétent. Le petit déjeuner est très copieux. Seul petit bémol, la réduction de 4% offerte sur Venere.com ne nous a pas été appliquée.

3.8

staff molto poco qualificato, questo hotel non ha idea di cosa significhi "ospitalità". la mia impressione è che gli ospiti diano fastidio!

8.6

Excellent hotel but far from historical center .Vehicle needed .

7.4

The hotel is situated at the Bologna Fiera area, about 15 minutes by bus from the historical center. The hotel is on a remodelling process. The room assigned ( Nbr.305 ) was already remodelled, and it looked great. Good breakfast, in spite no hot foods availability.

9.2

Excellent hotel. The room's comfort anf equipment levels were well above the 40 euro price tag. Highly recommended.

8.6

had e probleme with air conditioner in the room

8.2

We were 10 people in a small group flying late into Bologna. Hotel Fiera was perfect for us for a one night stay. The price, rooms and the breakfast was good and the staff wery helpful. The onliy thing I can say bad about the hotel is that one end of it is wery close to the railroad. We were in 5 rooms and 2 rooms were on that side of the building.

7.1

Ambiente pulito, tranquillo e senza fronzoli. Dotato di parcheggio privato e garage. Ideale per viaggi di lavoro.
