Grand Hotel Elite

“The other reviews are very harsh. Sure, the hotel is of old fashioned style but it's well maintained and the style adds to its charm. I did not have breakfast but the options seemed quite limited, but it was also cheap. The AC leaves a lot to wish for, as it's very noisy and doesn't get lower than 25 degrees. Compared to other nearby hotels, it's very cheap and the value for what you get is great”

“I had a very positive experience during my 1 night stay at this hotel. The hotel is not too far from Renato Dall’Ara Stadium and Bologna Airport. I paid roughly 64 euros for bed and breakfast which I found to be of good value. The hotels location suited me as I went to see Bologna play Juventus. The staff are helpful and well organised. The breakfast on show was impressive with plenty of options available. The hotel has an old fashioned nature compared to most hotels and this is why I liked it so much. The lift is a bit small and there was couch in the dining room with a slight tear. The bedroom had a decent view from it which is rare in the majority of hotels. The old fashioned well maintained nature of this hotel has been harshly critiqued in my view on some of the google reviews. Overall I would happily return to Grand Hotel Elite.”

“The hotel was overall a pleasant place to stay. It was clean and well-maintained, although a bit dated. You can tell that it once had a certain charm and elegance, which still lingers in its atmosphere. The breakfast was not particularly rich, but it was satisfactory and covered the basics. The location is about 25 minutes from the city center, which may be slightly inconvenient for some travelers. On the positive side, the service was good, and the staff were helpful and polite.”

“The hotel was built in the early 70s and its iconic of that period of design.in places it needs maintenance but the rooms are spacious, it’s excellent value for money, and the breakfast at 8€ is bargain. The breakfast room is so 1980s! Wood paneled great light fixtures etc. I hope they retire it and do a total refurb. It’s in need of some TLC. The only downside is that the walk to the center (piazza Maggiore) is about half an hour. But it’s so much cheaper than the hotels in the center. I would gladly stay there again.”
