The hotel has an excellent location in the historical center of the city. All amenities for its category are available. The staff is competent and friendly. Cleanliness is at a high level, as well as all other services offered by the hotel.In the interior, old components have been preserved, which I like very much. You can feel the spirit of the historic city.I highly recommend it for a business or leisure stay. All photos and information materials correspond to the reality.
The temperature in the room could not rise above the minimum for the season to a bearable level, which is a problem for me.

The location is amazing. It’s close to a lot sightseeing spots but the best for me: it’s close to a less touristic and less posh area like the jewish quarter and university area. The building itself is also really beautiful and with its many balcony’s you can also find a sunny spot to enjoy your coffee with a great view. The common lounge area is also very beautiful and a good spot to hang out when you want to escape rain or the crowded inner city.
If you are very sensitive to noises you might need to adjust. It’s an old building and you can here some noises around you, like vacuuming cleaning or water running from the shower next door.. but no conversations or anything like that.

The location was perfect for those who are looking to have a homebase and then be able to wander amongst the beautiful scenery. It is close in proximity to a number of museums, the Tower can be seen from your window if you have that side of the hotel, there are multiple little shops and restaurants within a 2 min walk. The room itself was large and comfortable and the staff very friendly. They have parking for those who have a rental car (like myself) for a charge and I felt very safe leaving the car unattended for the two days I was there.
Not the hotel, but just a note that driving to this hotel is a challenge for folks who are not used to driving in Italy, the streets are narrow and because it's in the heart of a very touristy portion of Bologna it takes a bit of nerve. Once you're there and can park - it's all forgotten, but the maps don't prepare you for the narrowness of the streets and bold pedestrians and motorcycles. Would all be a non-issue if you took a taxi or other form of transportation to the hotel from the airport (as an example).

Second time staying here, perfect location in center of Bologna and in walking distance to Piazza Maggiore, San Stefano Piazza, and many other places of interest. I walked to Pinocoteca Nazionale from the hotel u dear the porticoes. Lots of dining choices around the the hotel’s location.
The only thing this visit as the Wi-Fi was spotty. Kept killing out on me which made it hard for me to check on flight status and train connections. If I was a business traveler this would be especially aggravating, but as I.’m not it wasn’t that big a deal no I would stay at this hotel again.

Very central hotel in the middle of the old part of the city. Surprisingly easy to reach by car and a great locked car park at the hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff and good breakfast. Clean and large rooms. For a nice dinner or glass of wine very close to the hotel we had the restaurant InCantina just 100 m away recommended by the hotel. Highly recommended. Very close to almost all sights in Bologna
Although we went in low season it got a bit pricy when parking and breakfast was added on site. The beds were a little too firm for our taste.

In the middle of it all, right beside the two central towers of Bologna. A great place to stay, day and night. Walking distance to all you have to see in the city. The terrace has an amazing view of the city. I skipped breafast for 15 Euros - would have paid it for the view alone, but since I only get coffee and a croissant, I walked to one of the many cafés around. The people at the reception were always kind, attentive, courteous - a real delight!
The decor was a bit on the spartan side. The toiletries were just OK.

The hotel is in a fantastic central location - within easy walking distance to the Towers. On a small piazza with cafés and bars yet very quiet. Steps away from the trendy and lively 'ghetto' district - so a vast array of places to eat and drink. Lovely comfortable quiet room. Lovely terraces.
Breakfast at 15€ pp is a bit steep when there are so many local cafés to choose from - however, we did not go to look at the offerings so they could be good value for money if that is what you prefer. No bar service for the lovely terraces - so a strictly BYO!!!! No table and chairs on our balcony which would have been nice to relax on. Personally like tea and coffee in the room.....

This hotel was conveniently located in the main tourist center. Everything was within walking distance that we wanted to see. The staff was very friendly and helpful! Plenty of restaurants and shopping all within a 20 minute walk or less. There was a great little bar to hang out just in front of the hotel Plaza. The room was a good size with a nice large bathroom, the shower was a little small. Overall would definitely stay here again.
I’m 6’3” and the shower is a little tight for someone my size.

Best location ever.....right in the center of Bologna's old town, close to restaurants, pharmacies, gelateria(s)(!), and tourist sites. Elevator was a blessing, bell service great, very friendly front desk (especially Martina). Good A/C. We didn't do breakfasts there, so can't comment. Beds very good, bathroom really good, good wi-fi. Met our expectations completely. Note: if you're driving to the hotel, be sure to ask for specific driving instructions as the city is so old, many streets are narrow and therefore one-way.
We liked it ALL!

it’s a very good hotel in the heart of Bologna which I booked accidentally because I was physically kicked out from other place I booked on Booking.com and they didn’t do nothing to help me. So I must to find a new place to stay and it was a pleasant surprise that I booked such a wonderful hotel and checked-in immediate. I highly recommend you to stay in the Hotel San Donato, the stuff is very nice and friendly, the room isn’t big but has it all, the AC works perfect, also the balcony is nice but could be better if you put there a table and chairs. the rooftop is wooow, amazing panoramic view!
a bed could be a bit wider
