This place is a wonderful gem for anyone looking to explore Bologna. It’s in an incredibly central location with most places no more than a 10 minute walk from the hotel. The rooms are clean and well furnished, and wonderfully quiet at night, with blackout curtains to ensure a good nights sleep. They are a touch on the smaller side if there are two of you with a few suitcases, but otherwise zero complaints. We also had a lovely balcony with a view of the Bologna tower which got the sun in the morning and was a great place to have morning coffee. The staff are incredibly helpful and always on hand to provide help, tips and recommendations for the city. Breakfast is a great spread of fresh fruit, cold cuts, cheeses, bacon, sausages, an array of pastries and yoghurts, with the dulcet tones of Angelo singing along to the radio whilst making coffee! Definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting.

Corona d'Oro is a 4 star, comfortable, friendly and extremely clean hotel in the heart of Bologna, 5 minutes from the Piazza Maggiore. My friend and I were warmly welcomed by the courteous staff who spoke both English and Italian. Our single rooms were on the first floor at the front of the hotel. A pleasant location and - with the balcony doors open - rather lively. I loved lying in my bed, listening to the sounds of the city slowly waking up. If you prefer a somewhat quieter experience, simply close the doors, and all the noise disappears. The rooms are well maintained, very clean and equipped with all modern cons. Most important: the beds are very comfortable. My marble bathroom came with a good shower. The beating heart of the hotel is formed by a light and airy lounge with a glass roof. Its cosy chairs and sofas are a nice place to drink coffee or tea and rest after a day in beautiful Bologna. The hotel's restaurant Casa Azzoguidi has recently undergone an extensive renovation and is exceptionally beautiful and elegantly decorated. Modern chic, very Italian and quite cosy at the same time. Unfortunately the restaurant was fully booked during our stay. The menu looks promising though. The restaurant also serves as a breakfast room where a well-cared-for breakfast is served in the morning. The choice is relatively limited, but the quality of what is on offer is very good. A fine hotel to which I certainly hope to return.

The hotel is centrally located in a beautiful cobbled street, the staff from the front desk to breakfast/bar were all so charming and helpful and nothing was too much problem. The downstairs communal areas are lovely and breakfast was delicious. Our room was really well appointed and comfortable and had a walk in shower rather than shower over bath that so many older European hotels have. Lovely towels and products too. I would choose a room at the front of the property if you can. Furnishings all very attractive. It shows that it is privately owned and cared for.

The Hotel Corona D'Oro is a former palazzo located down a side street backing onto the old Ghetto, about 3 minutes' walk from the main square and the fountain of Neptune - it could not be better located. Rooms are double-glazed and noise is really not a problem. The layout is a rabbit warren but well signposted, so there's no need to get lost. Our room, while small and slightly old-fashioned in feel, was extremely well equipped, with no shortage of storage and a generous bathroom with extensive counter space for emptying washbags onto. An intelligent nightlight in the bathroom stopped midnight stumbling. The establishment was happy to supply fresh milk for our morning tea. The associated restaurant has an adjacent cocktail bar with a barman who clearly loves his job: it's hard not to be knocked out (in every sense) by his specials. The menu is ambitious: we had a very decent meal there on our first night (though eating well in Bologna is not a challenge and there are many good places within walking distance). An excellent breakfast is served in the restaurant: as well as an extensive offering of hot and cold foods, eggs are cooked to order. We were there in blood orange season and the freshly squeezed juice was a joy. The front desk team is clearly high morale: friendly, welcoming and as helpful as one could wish. We will certainly return here when we come back to Bologna.

The room was a bit small for a 3 night stay. We'd probably upgrade. The lightweight duvet is synthetic and hot. There's a cellular wool blanket in the wardrobe which we swapped it for (much more comfortable) - but then the help switched it back! The pillows are a bit on the hard side too.

The location was perfect just a very short stroll from the Piazza Maggiore. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the restaurant provided us with an excellent dinner. The kitchen is visible from the dining room so it was great to see the food being prepared. There is a very nice cocktail bar attached to the restaurant. We did not try the breakfast as we went out into town

There was really nothing to fault, the water pressure in the shower was weaker than we would have liked.

Breakfast offering and service was not in line with other hotels of similar class that I have stayed at recently. Sometimes waiting staff were efficient and brought beverages quickly, but at other times the request was either forgotten or took too long. The hot breakfast choices were sub-par; there seemed to be a chef working in the kitchen, but apart from scrambled eggs to order, all other 'hot' items had been cooked a long time before, and left in unheated trays on a cold surface. Not very appealing. It didn't upset us, or ruin our stay, but for such a good hotel it was a surprisingly lacklustre service.

A well run and efficient hotel. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was good and stretched over a reasonable amount of time. Check in and out times were reasonable and not like many of the U.K. Hotels who have now stretched check in time to 3pm/4pm which is not great for the customer.

The first night was disturbed by excessive loud noise from outside but the hotel were excellent in changing our room and remedying the situation.

We arrived early evening and we had two members of staff great us outside as our taxi drew up. They greeted us by name and had kindly upgraded one of our rooms. Check in was quick. We had a welcome gift and our room was perfect. The location is right in the middle of Bologna. We asked for a resturant recommendation and the reception booked it for us and gave us a nap with clear instructions. After dinner we returned to the hotel and enjoyed drinks the back terrace. Breakfast was very nice - all the staff were wonderful and we will return.

I really can’t think of anything.

This is the third time we’ve visited Bologna and the third time we have stayed at this lovely hotel. The staff are friendly, the hotel is spotlessly clean, the rooms are lovely, beds are super comfy. The restaurant and bar are great. Breakfasts are good, plenty of choice, and the location is perfect. So central. Bologna is a lovely city to visit, and this hotel is a real gem.

The location was exceptionel. The staff was very friendly, and provided an exceptional service. The hotel is beautiful with an historic decor.

It was quite pricey compared to other stays. The room was a bit small, and it was a bit disappointing that you had to pay for the coffee in the room. Other 5-star hotels provide coffee-tabs complimentary.
