Stay at hotel centrale bologna

Liked: Great location and helpful staff. Good breakfast! Always cleaned the room when asked. Bravo. We would stay again on balance. Even better was a fantastic trattoria just around the corner.
Disliked: Room we were in needed a bit of decorating or updating. We did look at another room but decided to stay. Stairwell area also needs updating. When we got there the room floor was dusty in places. Bed mattress was not to my liking for comfort and pillows were hard.

Quite bad experience for the...

Liked: The breakfast was the only part that was much better than everything else. Plenty of choices, everything very tasty.
Disliked: The room itself was very bad for the price I paid... I think I had the worst bed in maybe 10 years: incredibly small (children size, not for adults) and hard as a rock. I couldn't sleep at all...Then the shower had very low pressure... Almost impossible to have a decent shower...

Liked: We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Hotel Centrale during the first and last nights of our first-ever trip to Italy! Traveling as a party of three, we unanimously agreed that this was our favorite hotel experience of the entire week-long adventure. The staff truly elevated our stay. We interacted with two receptionists and a delightful woman who managed the breakfast area—all of whom were incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming. For our 1st night, we stayed in a cozy studio apartment located away from the main property. The room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The master bed was exceptionally comfortable, while the pullout bed, though a bit squeaky, served its purpose for a good night's sleep. The studio included a kitchenette, which we didn’t use but appreciated having available. The bathroom was large and stocked with shampoo that left hair feeling soft (a small but noteworthy detail!). Returning for our final night, we stayed in a triple room in the main building. This exceeded all our expectations—the photos simply don’t do it justice! The room was surprisingly spacious, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully equipped with a table, kettle, mugs, tea, coffee, and cookies for a cozy touch. The renovated, modern bathroom was another highlight. We were pleased to find two pillows per person, as the other hotels we visited provided only one per guest. The breakfast was a delightful way to start the day. The spread included a variety of pastries, breads, cold cuts, cheeses, and fresh tomatoes, alongside some fruits. The hot options featured scrambled eggs and a type of salami. Yogurt, juices, coffee, and tea rounded out the selection. For those who prefer dining out, the hotel is surrounded by an abundance of charming cafés and restaurants. Overall, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting Italy—it truly set a high standard for our trip. Thank you, Hotel Centrale, for making our trip memorable!
Disliked: Our only minor challenge was with the doors and locks, but this was more of a cultural adjustment than an issue specific to the hotel. We occasionally pushed when we should have pulled (and vice versa), and locking doors required some trial and error. That said, these quirks underscored the sense of security provided by the hotel. + while the wifi was great in the triple room (main building), it was significantly weaker in the studio apartment (separate building).
