“Time for a touch up”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

For any first timers in Bologna the Mercure is an excellent choice.As previously noted in is opposite the main station and the drop off point for the airport bus. Historic Bologna is small enough to walk around and the Mercure is just on the edge of the historic centre. So 20 minutes walk will find you in the heart of the old city and indeed walking is the best way to see this under-rated gem.

Hotel is spotlessly clean and rooms are a good size with excellent king sized beds. Complimentatrey mineral water is provided.

The down sides are that the decor is a little tired, it was probably last updated in the 80's and is below par for a 4star hotel chain; although this is probaly reflected in the good value pricing. Finally the bathrooms could do with a re-design - although good sized rooms the shower is squeezed over the bath and you find yourself tucking your elbows in to avoid belting the shower enclosure.

“Very conveneint place in Bologna”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

I had to catch an early flight next morning.This hotel is just in front of the train station and few minutes from the town centre.So, it is possible to wander around and pick one of all the small restuarants around.It is just 15 minutes to the airport.Price is good and very convenient.Rooms spotless.Two bottles of mineral water are complimentary.Staff kind and efficient.

Room Tip: choose a room opposite the train station and on the upper levels

“Good for business trips”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

The Bologna Mercure is located opposite the station, which is convenient for travel by train or air (the airport bus stops at the station). Getting to the sights takes a 10-15 minute walk.
It's a good place, with decent rooms and good service. Breakfast is allright, certainly better than the traditional minimalist Italian start to the day.
It's probably not the most picturesque hotel in Bologna, but convenient, especially for a business trip.

This hotel is situated in a perfect location, facing Bologna central station. Rooms are spacious, bathroom a bit old fashion. Perfect breakfast in a nice area facing the garden, professional service at reception, french spoken. Perfect hotel for business trip.

“money compensation for stolen camera”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011

in August I wrote the review about my camera and other equipment had been stolen from this hotel, however the management of the hotel helped us to get the compensation back.
And after several months we have received 50% cost of our loss.
And they also promised to install video surveillance in the hotel.
I would like to thank you the manager of the hotel, she was really helpful and kept her promise.
And I would definitely stay in this chain of hotels again.
