The hotel is located in a nice calm area about 20 minutes walk from the train station with several nice restaurants within a few minutes walk. The room was very spacious and clean with comfortable beds. I would definitely come back next time I stay in Bologna.

Considering the overall high standard of the hotel, we were negatively surprised by the staff. Even though they were friendly, there were several misunderstandings during our stay. First, we were told that we did not pay for the stay and need to do it again (we did pay in advance). We were given a receipt with a completely different sum, which turned out to be for a different room. Later, when we asked for a second card, we discovered it did not work. Turned out, they again activated it for a different room number! And when we were leaving, they told us we should pay for parking and some things for the minibar - we used none of it and did not have a car. It may be that their IT system did not work but from a 4 star hotel, I would expect to have these basic things sorted.

Receptionists - great all of them, ready to help, smiley, positive! Breakfast - really good! Enjoyed a lot the coffee in the morning. Room - pretty good size, clean, with spacious toilet. Other staff at the hotel - cleaning ladies/gents, waiters at the breakfast area, other helping staff - ALL GREAT! All of them greeted us every morning, smiling with a great energy, you could just feel it.

Rooftop area could be better. Even though it is winter season, it could be used much better. Heater can be provided, and area could become a small area of interest for the guests.

The staff was the best! The receptionists were so friendly and helpful and always smiling, a pleasure to enter the hotel and discus with them. Big thanks to Simone whi recommend us local places and where to eat in the city. The room is big, the bed and pillows very comfortable, AC was cooling down the room in a couple of minutes, very well optimez and not so noisy. The hotel is located in a quiet area, however there are planes passing by, over the hotel, but they are not disturbing. Great value for money, daily cleaning and changing towel + toiletries even if you didn't asked for. Great attention paid to details and customer care.

The breakfast was the same each morning, maybe it would be an idea to consider different breakfast some days so people staying one week to be able to have a variate of meals in the morning. There might be an additional light in the bathroom for make-up and have walk-in showers instead of bathtub.

We chose Savhotel because we wanted the efficiency of finding a taxi during the wee hours of the morning for our 6am flight as well as it's proximity to the airport i.e the hotel would call us a cab as opposed to finding one ourselves since the Marconi Express (Monorail) to and from the airport only opens at 5:40am. We didn't opt for breakfast as we decided to walk into the city centre. The hotel would tell you that you could take a bus or it would be a 40min walk. We love walking and it took us 30mins each way. It wasn't a deal breaker because the distance would work up our appetites or helped us digest the delicious offerings in Bologna and you know that the food here is sublime.

Regrettably, I can't rate this hotel higher because we arrived at a period when the hotel switched from ACs to heating even though the weather was still in the mid 20sC. Hence, we could not cool our room, which got to 25+C and were advised to open the windows or they could provide a fan. We opted for the latter because we tried opening the windows but we would always get a pungent waft of cigarette smoke. Hence, for a 4-star hotel, I really think they could've done better.

This was our third stay at Sav Hotel which says it all.It remains one of the best hotels we have stayed at in Italy. The bedrooms are excellent,the aircon is powerful as well as easily adjusted - not something that is always the case especially in 38* heat, breakfast choice first rate and finally / most importantly every member of staff is friendly,efficient and a pleasure to deal with.Everywhere is spotlessly clean too.If you are going to Bologna this the top choice.

Nothing really.The only suggestion we would have is for simple maps of the area to be provided for those of us who don't always trust our phone directions.We were give a map of this type at another hotel in Rome and found it very useful.No criticism - just a suggestion

Good breakfast; Good location (the exhibition center and the city center are easily accessible; Very friendly and attentive staff

Room is big with bench, desk and 2 chairs. The bed is very confortable and you get 2 pillows, which is very appreciated. Super clean. Staff is very nice. Breakfast is vast and very good vallue for the money 10€/pers/day. I recommend the hotel, and we will certantly be back. Location si about 30' walk from city center, train station 15-20' walk. You can also get a bus very close by. Supermaket and Snoopy's restaurant 5' away. 15' from the airport by taxi - is cost 18€ one way. The train to the train station is more expensive for 2 people and pretty far, so get a taxi.

Nothing here.

Very friendly and helpful staff who go out of the way to ensure you are comfortable, clearly service is what Savhotel prioritizes and it shows! Hotel bikes available for free to guests which I was going to use but we took a cab in the end to the centre. There's a great little roof terrace with a jacuzzi that made me wish I'd brought swimming shorts tbh! During the night we had some crazy guy outside the hotel shouting in the street for a while and we phoned reception to get them to try and get him to leave. In the morning they offered us a free breakfast for the inconvenience, even though it was clearly beyond the hotels control, we didn't actually take the breakfast so instead they kindly gave us a discount on the room instead - fab service! Hotel is lovely and clean throughout and we'll definitely stay here again when we return to Bologna for the wonderful Lasagne and Ragu Bolognese! Highly recommended!

Nothing that we experienced

The hotel sent us very helpful instructions about how to find our way to it. This is useful as it is a little out of the centre of town. We arrived by train and bus which was fine and only involved a very short walk. The welcome was warm and helpful. Front desk were very helpful during our stay. The room was just what we expected from a modern hotel and was just what we needed for our one night stay before flying back to the UK. It was a very wet evening and so we were glad that the hotel had a restaurant which is usually outdoors but this night was definitely indoors! The food was very good and imaginative, beyond that in some other big hotels. It was also very reasonable. It meant we looked forward to breakfast and were not disappointed! All the staff were very friendly and helpful with advice and taxis etc.

It was great for what we wanted but it isn't somewhere to stroll into the historic centre of Bologna but it is only a very short bus ride.

The staff really made me feel welcome from the moment I stepped in. The room was quiet, spacious and clean. The bathroom had a large rain shower which was super nice. I really liked the breakfast, there was a large selection of different items from hot English breakfast to cereal. The location was convenient, within easy walking distance of busstops, the Bologna Fiere conference center and several good restaurants.

I recommend going to restaurants nearby as the food in Bologna is beyond amazing, though the hotel restaurant is still decent.
