I booked a single room as I am traveling solo. By American standards, the room was compact with a single twin bed, but this is what I booked, no surprise. The bathroom and shower were fine, as was the wifi and minisplit air conditioning. Staff is friendly and helpful and the continental breakfast buffet was good. I would stay here again if I ever make it back to Bologna .

Not worth the money. Only received one tiny soap for the bathroom, one pillow for the bed, air con barely worked, two tiny packets of shampoo. Unsure what you’re paying for because the cost is high and the hotel is bare bones basic and noisy. Location is good

We had a great stay at **Hotel Donatello in Bologna**. The location is very convenient and made it easy for us to explore the city and enjoy the beautiful streets and attractions nearby. Our room had a **balcony**, which was amazing and really added to the authentic Italian vibe of the trip. It was a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of Bologna. The breakfast included with our stay was very good, with a nice variety and a great way to start the day. The staff were very friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. On our departure day, they were kind enough to let us leave our luggage at the hotel so we could enjoy one more walk around the city before leaving, which we really appreciated. Overall it was a very pleasant experience, and we would happily stay here again when visiting Bologna.
