Best Western Hotel San Donato

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, right in the heart of the city, only steps away from the two towers. The staff were amazing in every way, we felt pampered and important. Our family room was spacious and well proportioned, although the entrance To the bathroom wad a bit tight and the extra sofa was a bit uncomfortable. Breakfast was substantial, and there is a free coffee and tea service in the lobby all through the day. All things considered, highly recommended!!! less

Would you believe! As soon as we sat down at the Terrazza surrounded by beautiful red geraniums, we realized we had already been five years ago! Unknown to us, we chose this Hotel for its location. Indeed, it is a stone throw away from the city centre and right in the middle of the mini square there is now a lovely cafeteria which serves drinks and typically Italian specialities. In the past, rubbish bins were stored there! As for the Hotel itself. . . it needs updating. . .where has health and safety gone? I asked for an iron and I was presented with one which had the red and blue wires showing! Telephoned reception before reaching the Hotel and we were promised a kettle with all the trimmings in the room. On request, we were given an old fashioned kettle with two small plastic cups which seemed as if they had been taken off an aircraft in the days of plastic cutlery on board. It is such a shame that we also had to remind them that we prefer a hot shower rather than a cold one! Would love to go back but surely at less than 300euros a night! less

Tucked away in the Old Jewish Quarter of Bologna, Italy is the San Donato hotel. I had only one night this time, but I hope it's not the last time I stay there. The staff was friendly, my room was great, but it's the location that's fantastic! Breakfast outside on the balcony overlooking beautiful Bologna was fabulous. I'll definitely check to see if a room is available the next time I go back... less

I am very glad to choose this hotel. We have a stroller and the hotel is easily accessible. The room was nice with a terrific view. Breakfast was 5 euros/person but it really worths with the variety and taste, simply marvelous. Location was great. It was a pleasure to sit at the terrace and have a cup of cappuccino while enjoying the view of two towers. The only thing I didn't like was that the hotel was too obsessed with recycling. I like environment friendly hotels but it was too much with the recycled toilet roll (I've seen better recycled ones) and insufficiency of towels. less

fabulous place in the right position. The hotel decor fits in with the surrounding buildings. The rooftop terrace is great and the staff will serve you up there if you wish, although i took my drinks up there myself. The hotel is clean, the staff are friendly and the breakfast is a typical continental breakfast. If i was to find fault with this hotel, it would be the wifi, which was hit and miss in different areas of the hotel, but otherwise, it would use this hotel again. less
