Hotel Imperial - Bologna

Optimal solution for an economic business stay in Bologna. One of the most "plus" of this hotel is free Internet in room, connection with decent reliability and speed.

Nice,clean and not-too-expensive hotel. Outside Bologna, but you can reach the historic city by bus (in front of the hotel) in about 20 minutes.I gave it an 8 !!

I highly recommend this hotel. Situated outside of the main city it is just a 30 minute bus ride to city center(#25). The bus stop was just 50 meter from our room. Room was very clean and the breakfast was excellent. If we come back to Bologna we will stay here again.

Bus 25 from train station as well as downtown. Look for bus 25 via del Gomito. Is literally the last stop on the bus. A bit way out in the industrial area with nothing nearby. Makes it quiet though. Free wifi and Internet computer in lobby.

The woman at the reception desk was very agreeable. She printed us the list of cultural events (concerts) of the day and evening, phoned to each of them to ask about prices and explained everything to us. The breakfast was good (buffet). This hotel was really nice. I would go back. It is not in the city centre, but the bus stops in front of it and leaves in front of it, and after midnight you can also walk home (approximately 40 minutes of walking, 3 km distance). There is construction work next to the hotel but we did not hear any noise.

The only thing to appoint is that the breackfast is not enough and far from the general standard of the hotel

Although the hotel is located in an out of the way location transportation to town was good and staff were able to provide the necessary information on times etc.

For the price (31 euros) very good, but the quality of the bed and mattress are very poor (to short and old) I slept in a room for handicapped people

Very helpful staff.

Very nice and quietly!

This hotel is beautiful.Lovely spacious rooms. Very nice decor throughout. Well signposted and the lady on reception very nice and helpful. We intend to go back to Bologna simply because this hotel was so good and a great price. Definite bargain. Slightly out of town but there is lots of parking in the town (ask reception for map) and there is a bus that stops outside the door of hotel.

Rien à dire, surtout pour le prix demandé à cette époque de l'année(40 euros début août). En période de foire, c'est une autre affaire... A 15 minutes du centre ville par le bus dont le terminus est à 15 mètres de l'hôtel. Calme, sauf quand des clients discutent sous votre fenêtre

A clean hotel. Good prestations. Cheap price but outside of city center. A car is welcomed, but there is a bustop, just a side the hotel.

It was a nice hotel. The surroundings are not so beautifull, but for a short citytrip that is not a big problem. The distance to the city centre is very short. The staff was very helpfull.

Excellent relationship between price/quality. Very good bus service to downtown.

Very good stop over hotel very clean nice breakfast, well kept rooms

8 is my "good as it should" - so that is a "perfect". But something that is a must cannot be considered "excellent" when delivered. It was my first stay in this hotel. The hotel is nice, people are VERY kind and did in fact try to help in every matter and even off the regular lines. You should just be working on the wireless service (for Mac) because this was the main reason for booking here and it didn't work. I would probably come back to this hotel because I found everything in order and the employees so gentle. If sight is important to you don't take room nr. 131 It has a window to an internal very narrow "court". I was here for work. Regards, Ph.

The people that work in the welcoming area are so qualify in lenguages and excelent to give us informations.

Massima cordialità , professionalità e pulizia. Albergo ottimo, ristrutturatato da poco . Ottima anche la colazione

We are a senior couple and we would certainly recommend this hotel. It was clean, quite and quite close to the city centre. The bus was only about a 20 mins ride into the centre and was virtually just outside the door. There were good internet facilities. We would certainly stay here again. It was good value.

Ottimo. Anche se distante dal centro di Bologna, il capolinea del Bus 25 è a 10 metri dall'uscita dell'albergo, preso il quale si arriva al centro in 10 minuti.

We enjoyed our stay at this Hotel and would gladly return. Reception Staff were very friendly and helpful, giving us excellent advice for eateries, etc.

Camere, bagno e sale confortevoli, puliti ed accoglienti. Accesso WLAN gratuito in camera.

Hotel Imperial exceeded my personal expectations. It's a 4* hotel in my opinion. Excellent quality and services offered. I'm sure I will book again at Imperial next time I will be in Bologna.

Excellent service, spacious rooms, wonderful location, easy to find, breakfast is very good especially if you considered the rates, people are very very kind and helpfull!!! Thank you very much we enjoyed staying there even if it was for one night :)

Excellent location out of centre but only 20 minutes by bus from the door of the hotel to the city centre. Highly recommended.

I've been in Bologna for the Half-Marathon (beginning of September) together with my wife. The hotel is far from city center but bus stop is close to th exit and in 20 minutes we got to Bologna main attractions. The room was cleaned, large and totally noiseless. Internet point in the hall is for free and people are really kind. The breakfast, included in the price, is really pleantiful and good. I suggest this hotel.

The location of hotel is little bit far from the center of city and you must pay 2 euro for bus to go and back from there.But room is good.

E' solo lontano dal centro e se non si ha la macchina la sera non è facile da raggiungere a piedi.

Ideal for transit. Cheap, safe and clean.

Excellent rapport prix/qualité. A conseiller.

We were very pleased to spend a night in this nice and clean hotel. The personal is very kind and competent. It was exactly what we wanted to get.

Everything was excellent. we stay one night only but we can recommanded this hotel: small price, good quality.

It is one of the best hotels I have stayed in Europe.

Recomiendo el hotel a cualquiera que viaje a Bolonia, esta a unos 20 minutos en bus urbano desde el centro, creo recordar que el numero 25. Gente muy amable desayuno incluido en el precio y muy buenas habitaciones

This is a holiday inn with a very friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. Only small problems existed such as not working internet connection. There is no iron to borrow etc. However the employees are very helpful to do what they can.

Perfect and tidy hotel, even better than 3star, a bit far away but: quiet! and: busstation direct next to the door with only 15 min. to the center, climatized an everytime on schedule! So more than ideal to stay there!

This hotel is a perfectly designed Italian middle-class hotel (with regards to facilities) with high-class room and food quality - for Italian standard. We paid 33€ for the room incl. breakfast. It was the cheapest and the best quality hotel during these two weeks vacation. Within a stone throw to Bologna and the airport, but not easy to find. Poor street signs.

Ordentliches Mittelklassehaus am Stadtrand, aber mit direkter Busverbindung ins Zentrum (Linie 25 im 12-20 Min.-Takt, sogar sonnatgmorgens). Gutes Frühstücksbuffet. Zimmer aber leider nur mit kleinem "Bullauge" und auch die Klimaanlage schien nicht funktionsfähig zu sein, daher Luftqualität verbesserungsfähig. Trotzdem sicher nicht die schlechteste Wahl in Bologna - für 39 Euro pro Nacht in jedem Fall gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.

Good option for those with a car and on a budget, who aren't so much concerned with the immediately surrounding neighborhood.

The hotel was amazing! Great, helpful staff...wonderful FREE breakfast, tidy rooms. The location was prime for us too because it got us a little away from the city noise and such. The bus drops you right in front of the hotel, which was convenient. 100% recommend the hotel!

The Imperial is located on the outskirts of town but has a bus stop right outside the hotel and is very regular, every 20 minutes and on time. It was a great way to see your way around Bologna on your way into town. Make sure you try the tortellini, bolognese of course and bolito misto. Also there is great gelato on the square behind the two leaning towers.

Excellent hotel, easy access to downtown (train station and historic center) by a frequent bus, which stops right by the hotel. The bus ride takes about 10-15 minutes. Clean well equipped rooms, fantastic breakfast. Highly recommended.

I had stayed at this hotel in August and what a decline, there are currently many construction workers that are working on the hotel extension staying there. They are a bunch of noisy arrogant rude I could go on for weeks. they have NO REGARD for hotel guests and conducted themselves disgracefully blatently smoking in non smoking rooms areas and hallways. They were drunk and very noisy after 3 phonecalls to reception the last being at 0200hrs they finally quietened down a little. My advice to travellers is do not use this hotel until construction is complete, prior to this I would have scored this hotel 9/10 at present sadly 2/10

Would have been a fantastic stay if the sheets had been clean. They were used, filthy and smelly. Staff refused to change them and said the sheets are changed only every second day and if I wanted to get clean ones I would have to pay 10€ extra, also because I'm staying with the cheapest room rate. Sorry, but no matter how cheap a room is, I'm expecting at least a clean bed.

Really Fine!

Favoloso albergo l'Hotel Imperial è un'ottima struttura, lontana dal centro di bologna ma raggiungibile in pochi minuti con la linea 25 che fa capolinea davanti l'entrata,l'albergo ,composto da un corpo centrale e da una depandace, è nuovo e molto curato, noi siamo stati sistemati nella depandance e siamo rimasti molto sorpresi camera grande e super attrezzata con tv al plasma e sky, bagno accogliente con vasca idromassaggio; colazione a buffet ottima e abbondante e con cornetti e brioches di vario genere sempre caldi, cereali, yogurt, pane e salumi di vario tipo;ampio parcheggio,quitidiani e postazione internet gratuiti, personale della hall e di sala molto cordiale...l'ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo, noi abbiamo pagato 129€ per quattro giorni e rispetto alle offerte degli altri alberghi, anche di categorie inferiori, non è male. Lo consiglio a tutti e se dovessi tornare in emilia romagna sicuramente alloggereri presso l'hotel imperial

Excellent price/quality ratio. The position is not central, but frequently running bus 25 brings you in 20 minutes to Bologna center, so that you can avoid traffic stress.

Great value for money: payed 46 euros for a double room with breakfast, just perfect! nice staff; free internet in the hall; free parking. I do recommend it, no doubts. of course it is not in town, but you can't get everything! if you are in bologna with a car, that's your best choice.

Staff, especially reception, were very helpful and curtious. Very clean and modern, breakfast really good with lots of choice. Bus ride from the centre of Bologna meant that either taxi or public transport was needed to get to restuarants and sites of interest, very little in the immediate hotel area.

Perfect stay for working around Fiera or going to airport; easy to avoid traffic in tangenziale.

Rooms were spacious, quiet and immaculate, breakfast was as expected, and the hotel staff efficient and friendly. The hotel is out of the centre of the city, but it is an easy and cheap 20 minute bus ride from right outside the front door to the station. If you want to stay right in the city centre, then choose another hotel. Otherwise, it is impossible to fault this hotel for the price that you pay.

Do not look any further than this hotel! Easy to reach and very good quality hotel. We must stress the frequent bus sevice from front doorof hotel to the city centre - every 1/4 hour during dy an every 30 mins during late evening. We paid €40 per night and was amazing value!

Big hotel comfortable. From the central station, take bus 25 direction "via del gomito" until the end. In the bus don't be afraid if the landscape doesn't look great, the beauties of Bologna are in the other direction of the bus 25.

Fantastic hotel and very friendly and helpful. As mentioned by others, the bus stop is just outside the hotel and takes 15-20mn to get into the city center. Tickets are available at the hotel. Very easy to use (we travelled with 2 young children). Highly recommended hotel.

È un ottimo hotel, sia sotto il profilo della sua ubicazione, che della tranquillità, della qualità dei servizi e del confort

Very very good! ottimo!!!

Overall a good hotel, nice clean, modern rooms. Our friend loved the wi-fi access. Breakfast ok. Only note would be the location - not the nicest area really - from what we could tell there was a prison about 500m away! Apart from that its not bad.

Near new hotel hotel in countryside but city bus at front door good car parking in hotel

Hotel Imperial was a very nice hotel, and offered a good breakfast. The bus ride in to the city centre took 15 min, and buses ran quite often. Taxi from city centre was about 13 euros, so not too expensive. The room was clean, nice bathroom, and acess to internet, either in the hotel lobby or wireless. 5 nights for 177 euros is very cheap, I would stay in this hotel again.

First problem: Hotel is at least a 30 miinute bus ride from the central station--far from the main part of city. It is at the last stop of bus line #25 and if you're not careful you can end up taking the bus in the wrong direction. Second problem: Situated in what appears to be an industrial area and there is construction going on all around it. Looks like a war zone in a third world country--no exaggeration! Did not feel safe. Room was quite small and minimially decorated--reminded us of a small room on a cruise ship. Shower door broken. Seems to appeal to business travelers not tourists. Breakfast was generous but very automated--push a button on a machine for the type of coffee you wanted--does not have a personal touch. We paid 99 Euro with a no cancellation policy. Overpriced. A rip-off. Big mistake. I paid more than is atually listed on on the web site at this time. Would never, ever recommend it to anyone.

Excellent very comfortable hotel with good services in very central location.

I was visiting the Bologna Children's Book Fair. At this time all room rates are inflated therefore the price vs quality ratio is not good but under optehr circumstances this ratio would be excellent. It's a basic hotel with small rooms, very clean, but a little far from everythign.

We've stayed one nigth in Bologna and it was very nice. The hotel imperial is a very good place. The breakfast buffet is very varied and abundant. The location is very faraway from to the center downtown, but there is a bus (number 25) that it goes from the hotel door to the center downtown in almost 25 min. It is necessary to known its timetable to move in Bologna.

Excellent service and a beautiful contemporary style. Very convenient to bus, and only 15 minutes by bus to the train station. Very nice breakfast, and also provides shuttle service to the airport for 10 euros.

Ok, this was a last minute booking while we were in bologna. The room itself was awesome. The bathroom was big and a big shower 3 weeks into vacation this was a delight. A fridge and actual channels that had english speaking programs yea!.We were happy about room. Directions and location, a bit out of way we got so lost,and bad directions off web site. they have a restaurant and since we were so tired we went there and were served frozen (stoffer) type dinners for the same price as restaurants cooking fresh. It was aweful why even bother. This ruined our 1 night in Bologna (known for some of the best food) go out! the breakfast served though was awesome! A complete 360. I would stay for a stop over but not extended because it isn't near anything. The price for the room and breakfast was great. We met some great people from Napa, ca who had the same dinner experience and we had a good laugh.

While the hotel was in a remote location it was a fine establishment. The breakfest was good and well attended to. It was not too difficult to reach from the train (20 min.) and was easy to get to the historic centre. The staff was friendly and we thouroughly enjoyed our stay.

It was OK!

If you don't mind being away from the heart of Bologna then this hotel offers outstanding value for money. The hotel itself is a short bus trip of about 15 minutes from outside the railway station and stops directly outside the hotel. The bus service operates every few minutes. The hotel is very modern and spotlessly clean. Rooms are large and very well equiped. Staff were extremely helpful, efficient and welcoming. Breakfast is excellent but the other meals, ordered from the Bar, are not up to the same standard. There are very few shops or resturaunts near the hotel so don't rely on stopping off for a meal or snack on the way.

Imperial is a nice and comfortable hotel. That's a pity it's not in the center of the city... I would recomend it to everybody especially to couples.

The hotel is very nice--quite modern, clean and well appointed. Access from centro storico via bus is excellent. However, it is a bit far from the center for someone who wants to spend evenings wandering about. There are few options in the immediate area for restaurants outside the hotel. It is best suited to business travelers with a car.

WE STAYED 3 NIGHTS IT WAS VERY GOOD. THERE IS NEAR,A BUS STATION TO THE CITY CENTER.WE ARE SURE WE'LL BE BACK IN OUR NEXT STAY IN BOLOGNA.

We used a double room for 2 nights. We were very satisfied that we could take a bus directly from the hotel into town. Put this thorouly into your web site

A very nice little hotel convenient to Bologna. We stayed only one night en route to Berlin from Naples. Our room was beautifully furnished with hardwoods, and the bathroom was done with very nice marble tile. The walls, however, were fairly thin and in the bathroom we could unwittingly make out the conversations of our neighbors.

Great restaurant (Pino) on via stalingrad. A bit out the way but very charming place (old converted mill). Bologna is a well kept secret and I'd like to keep it that way... so perhaps you shouldn't come here, after all!!!

Excellent hotel. We used this hotel on our way between Venice and Florence for a stopover after staying late in the day in Venice. It was the perfect location (off main highway) for our itinerary. The concierge gave us an excellent recommendation for dinner not far from the hotel, and we enjoyed eating a delicious dinner with the locals. The hotel rooms are lined in beautiful woods and the large bathrooms appear recently updated with tastefully selected fixtures and tiles. Everything bright and clean. Contemporary and functional decor. Free parking on site and wireless internet were bonuses. Would not hesitate to recommend this quality hotel.

Albergo davvero economico ma di buona qualita'. Le stanze sono silenziose anche se non spaziosissime. Si trova in posizione decentrata ma facilmente raggiungibile in auto. C'e' una fermata di autobus vicinissima. Colazione a quattro stelle per il resto tutto a tre ma basta e avanza per il servizio messo a disposizione. Consigliatissimo .

Accoglienti a buon prezzo

Ottimo Hotel, servito anche da mezzi pubblici, vicino a Fiera e tangenziale. NB: sconsigliato a chi si vuole spostare piedi, vicino vi è il nulla turistico.

Ottimo albergo sotto tutti i punti di vista. camera spaziosa ed iper organizzata, compresa la vasca idromassaggi. colazione, di tutto di più. gentilissimo il personale, interessante la postazione internet gratuita. per quanto riguarda i collegamenti con il centro nessun problema, l'autobus n° 25 fa capolinea di fronte all'entrata dell'albergo. se non vuoi la luna nel pozzo, questo è un ottimo albergo. complimenti alla proprietà. consigliatissimo agli amici

Schwer zu finden.Zimmer sauber und geräumig.Frühstück sehr reichlich. Für die Durchreise sehr geeignet.

Close to the last stop of a bus [very easy to reach the center], employees very kind, strongly recommended!!! Una vera piacevole scoperta, il mio ragazzo ed io lo abbiamo scelto perche' abbastanza vicino al luogo dove si sarebbe tenuto un concerto. E si e' rivelato un posto davvero bello anche come atmosfera, la stanza ed il bagno confortevoli e puliti, al check out sebbene fuori tempo [lo show ci aveva provati...] ci hanno offerto ugualmente colazione e caffe', c'e' anche una cucina interessante per eventuali pasti in loco... definitivamente promosso a pieni voti! ;) Un peccato non aver posseduto una fotocamera per immortalare il posto, ma le foto sul sito sono veritiere! :)

My 1st enquete was wrong, we are husband and wife! no restaurants in neighbourhood, the indicated one (corner) was closed. Found another one farther away

Good hotel,clean, quiet, bus stop in front of hotel to station and city centre

This place was fantastic value. Very nice clean rooms with spacious bathroom and comfy bed. Fabulous breakfast with warm pastries, fruit salad, cheese and hams, yoghurt, cereal, juice etc. For 41 euros a double this place is great value. The only drawback is that it is not near the old town, but it is so easy on the bus that it hardly matters. Just go out of the train station, cross the road, go down to the right a few meters and you are at the stop for the No. 25 (Via del Gomito) bus which stops right out the front of the hotel. And when you are heading back into town it drops you right at the main Piazza. Too easy!

Casi imposible de encontrar. Salir por la tangencial de Bologna en la salida 7bis. El autobus 25 te deja en el centro de Bologna en 10 min. Nuestra habitación era espaciosa, no muy limpia y con ventana a la parada del autobus, junto a un alberge. La gente de la recepción fue muy amable. El desayuno bastante bien y abundante. Para el que vaya a moverse por otras ciudades, (Mantua, Ravena, Modena...) una vez que sabes llegar está bien en relación al precio.

We had been stayed at the Imperial two nights and it is just much value for the money. The room and toilette were very spaciousness and it had fit in 4 stars hotel. The breakfast was very delicious with a big variety of the different food and it had been included in the price of the room. The buss connection to the city was very good as well because buss station is just in the front of the hotel and the buss takes you to the city center. We used the buss instead for car second day of our stay 'cause it is cheaper and more convenient. The only thing which is a bit disturbing is a ugly surrounding but thinking on everything the hotel provides to one for the quoted price it is VERY WORTH to stay there. I should point that we had been there with a child (5 y.o.)and it was very convenient and children up to 12 y.o. stay there for free if they

Wonderful.it was much better that what we expected for the price we paid. bus trip will take bout 15 mins but try to avoid the rush hour.

First of all, this hotel has some major advantages: air conditioning, free WI-FI internet connection, and a private bathroom in each room. These three things alone would normally triple the price of a room closer to the center of town. Depending on how much you value these amenities, the trip out to Hotel Imperial may be worth it. This hotel is on the outskirts of Bologna-- the #25 bus is very conveniently located, but it takes about 20-30 minutes to get into the center of town. Some travelers might like to know that the #25 bus stops at the train station, so it would be easy to catch the bus to the hotel. The location of the Imperial is unfortunate, especially since there is NOTHING near the hotel (except for what appears to be a broken-down car lot, some corn fields, and a falling-in barn). The hotel offers food services, but it is overpriced, rather tasteless fare reheated out of the deep freezer. In a city known for great food this is nothing short of a disaster. That said, the rooms are very comfortable and clean, and you really can't beat the price. But if you want to soak up the nightlife of Bologna I would look elsewhere.

El hotel está fenomenal, el trato es fantástico, el desayuno muy bien y tener parking a tu disposición gratis es una ventaja. Lo único malo es que está bastante alejado del centro con unos alrededores feos. Pero el bus para en la puerta del hotel y es frecuente.

Quality hotel with very nice staff..

Just make sure the customer knows that is too far to walk from the train station. We walked from the train station because we thought it wouldn't be far it ended up being nearly a 2 hour walk and around 5 miles using their directions. Tell them to take Bus 25 across the street from the train station.

One of the best hotels on our Tuscany trip. The hotel is brand-new and therefore clean and up to standards (aircon etc.). Breakfast is very generous and staff is nice. Free internet is also included. The int and ext design of the hotel is very simple, sometimes resembling a better hostel, but during our two-night stay we could live with that. The price/quality ratio is outstanding.

Difficult to tell from the map on the site exactly how far out of town this hotel is! This wasn't a problem as the number 25 bus stops at the hotel door EXCEPT for when the buses were on strike! The room were lovely and staff very friendly. Excellent breakfast, wonderful service.

Excellent quality for the price, i.e. if you're aware of the location of the hotel outside the tangenziale. Good bus schedule with the bus stop just outside the hotel and possibility to buy tickets (1 euro) in the reception. Only one complaint: A better map is needed, we took via Stalingradi in the wrong direction and needed one and a half hour to reach the hotel instead of five minutes! Use the map which the hotel has on their cards!!

W-lan all over in the hotel. Perfect and very cheap.-

La struttura è bella ed accogliente, da migliorare il servizio di ristorazione pranzo cena, colazione ottima.

The room was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was large and comfortable. The staff was kind and helpful. The only problem was that the location was far from indicated on the map. It is about a 15 minute bus ride from the station! It is nearer the freeway than to the city center.

Îòåëü íîðìàëüíûé. Çà ýòè äåíüãè-ýòî ïðîñòî ñóïåð! Çàâòðàê ñ êîëáàñîé!

Massimo albergo, del servizio, qualita`, comportamento dei impegati, tutto e` massimo. Per me` il 1 e` Lingotto di Torino, e il 2 e` questo albergo.
