Great hotel. I would stay here for the incredible breakfast buffet (included in your room price) alone. The rooms were big, tidy and stylish. The staff was extremely helpful and very friendly. While the hotel is outside of where most would consider staying during a trip to Bologna, the bus directly in front of the hotel comes every ten minutes... more

I planned to spend the last days of 2009 and the New Years's Eve in northern Italy, touring as much as possible. Bologna is the perfect location for stay, such that it's possible to visit in day long trips Pisa, Firenze, Parma, Venice, Verona, Milano, Genova and ski in the mountains. Ramada Encore hotel is placed next to an international... more

We stayed here en route from Sorrento to the Lamborghini Museum in Sant'Agata so not sure how the location would work for people wanting to see the centre of Bologna. However, it is easy to find from the Autostrada and our room was very clean and spacious, even with 3 beds. The breakfast was fabulous, with fresh fruit, pastries, cakes,... more

We stayed for a week and found that there is plenty to do in Bologna in winter as long as you like quirky museums. The old centre was very photogenic and many restaurants/bars were open. Beds in the hotel were large (two singles together for a double bed) and comfortable. Public transport was good, we got a ticket between us... more

Location around 15mins from train station by bus. It is fine, because the bus stop in front of the hotel. Hotel staff is helpful and nice. Breakfast is quite good. Room is big for single. Just the wifi signal in the room were weak. It is easily disconnected. However, you can still try to connect at ground floor with stronger... more

all areas were spotlessly clean, room comfortable, bathroom very stylish and attractive, staff extremely helpful at reception and also in restaurant at breakfast with nothing too much trouble for them. All staff intent on making guests' stay as pleasant as posible. Only restaurant was a little bit disappointing on the evening we decided to eat at the hotel as some... more

Not the most attractive architecture on the outside, but the interior more than makes up for it. Make sure you get explicit instructions on how to get to the hotel from the train station and you won't have the difficulties we experienced. hint: street numbers on one side of the street bear no relationship to those on the other. A... more

Son, his girlfriend (they in their early 20s) and I liked this hotel very much. Modern, hardwood floors, clean, quiet, bathroom all glass, including the walls,. A 10-minute €1 bus ride from Stazione Centrale in the direction away from downtown. (#25 for "DOZZA" !!! Or you get a tour of the city.) Rate includes a full hot and cold buffet... more
