8.4/10 Very Good! (289 reviews)
We spent one night at Salute Hotel Group (SHG Hotel Bologna) on our way back to Canada after a week in Dubai. Exhausted, hungry, and desperate to go to sleep, I did a quick hotel search on Expedia and selected SHG because it had connecting rooms and it was close to the airport and train station. SO glad I did. SHG is an old, but charming hotel with an excellent restaurant. The staff are polite, but not friendly but it didn’t bother me. As black Canadians, who have traveled around the world for years, I have learned the nicest, friendliest, people are housekeeping, not reception! I would highly recommend SHG, and when you do add the breakfast option. Lots of healthy choices, fresh and tasty. Worth every penny! Next time I am in Bologna, I'm definitely staying at SHG Hotel Bologna.

we stayed here for a few days before our cruise leaving out if ravenna. this was our first time in italy and this hotel and its location is exactly how i pictured italy. it’s a boutique hotel, on a cobblestone street. the rooms are a decent size and the staff was very helpful from the time that i booked (answering email questions for me, booking & confirming our transfer to the cruise ahead of arrival). the location is great. there’s plenty of things to see and do within walking distance. i would recommend and would stay here again.
