Stayed in new wing. Underwhelming rooms and hallways - harsh lighting, budget floor coverings, no art etc. Electrical malfunctioned in middle of night resulting in emergency lights turning on. Had to relocate to another room half way thru night. No compensation, not even a complementary bottle of wine. Area isn't great either, but the hotel can't be responsible for that.

The hotel is located outside of the ZTL zone but just around the border so one might accidentally enter the ZTL zone, like us, when driving to the hotel. Best is to set route to avoid ZTL zone on Waze and don’t get lost. The hotel staff is super friendly and helpful. The car park is located literally next to the hotel and is gated and exclusively for hotel guest so a plus. Excellent breakfast buffet spread. The hotel has excellent dining options including a Michelin starred restaurant. The only thing we didn’t like was the uncarpeted floor in the room and relatively small shower stall. The hotel is in the city center so very convenient to walk around for sight seeing and shopping.

Petty customer response but othwise nice hotel
Lovely hotel. Reception helpful and recommended a lovely restaurant for dinner. Only gripe was they didn’t point out that Euro 15 beverage allowance I had could not be used with the mini bar in the room. Petty and irritating that it couldn’t be removed . Otherwise I would have given the hotel a higher rating

Well located close to the heart of Bologna, staff was nice but not over accomodating. Room was old, bathroom needs update and sheets of the bed were not comfortable. Elevators are small. I wouldnt stay there again.

The I Portici Hotel far exceeded our expectations. This was our first visit to Bologna and the location was the greatest benefit for us. It was within walking distance to plenty of shopping, dining, tourist attractions, and most importantly the train station. The Pizzeria Portici on the 2nd floor in the hotel was outstanding. The cafe downstairs had a kiosk where you could order in Italian or English which made things much easier. The service and the food were superb! The employees at the front desk were extremely helpful and they recommended an amazing Restaurante Osteria dell 'Orsa, which I highly recommend. When visiting Bologna in the future we will definitely stay here again!

Staff was uncommonly helpful, gracious & attentive. The buffet breakfast was the best I have ever had, in every category. Also, an uplifting setting, artful etc. my son and I thoroughly enjoyed our upgrade, given to us after my son reported a me at of fruit flies in our initial room.

It was summer and the Hotel could not get our room air-conditioning to work effectively or consistently without with continual noise of the system cutting in and out which is big problem during the night.

By far the most unique “family room” we’ve stayed in but it was great. We were a family of 4 with 2 little children and each had their own bed in this 5th floor (room 580) open space room. The elevator is tiny, the stairs are plenty but the room was great. It gave us appropriate space for our family and a huge bathroom for bath for the girls and showers for us! The hotel staff was very accommodating. The pizzeria on the 2nd floor was delightful abd the hotel recommendation for great dining was on poin (Osteria 051) We would define stay here again The only downfall was we walked to the Piazza everyday and it’s a good 12 minute walk

This is an efficient, welcoming, modern hotel; very friendly and helpful staff. It's very close to the train station, and then to the City Center. We walked everywhere we went, so it follows the location worked really well for us. Being along a main drag, Via dell'Independenza, it was always easy to find our way back tho it was our first trip to Bologna. Our room was functional and then some; very sufficient for our purpose. There is a bar on premises and a restaurant which has a Michelin star.
