Beautifully renovated hotel in central location in Bologna. Very friendly and efficient service. Fluent in English. Large and clean room, free wi-fi all over the hotel. Beautiful breakfast room, good breakfast. Very cosy bar. The only two downsides I want to mention are: only one plug next to the bed for the lamp, so you cannot charge your cell phone... More

I loved this hotel. The rooms were comfortable and showed absolutely no signs of wear. The restaurants and lounge had a nice amount of swank. With only a 5 minute walk from the train station, it was a real value for the price.

I have stayed here twice. Have had good service by the front desk most of the time. At night, when I had problems, they provided no help. Breakfast is very good. Rooms very clean. Cannot beat the location and reasonable price. Here is the issue....if you are in a room over the large banquet rooms and they have a late... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking time to leave a comment on your experience with us. I would like first of all to apologize if you didn’t receive the assistance you were looking for at night.

Bologna is a city underrated and therefore it was a nice surprise. Like the city this hotel was a nice surprise since it is a good quality hotel (4 stars) but at the same time it was cheap (the cheapest one in my 4-city Italian trip). The room as cozy and had everything I needed. The bathroom was nice and... More

We received a warm and friendly welcome upon our arrival. This continued during our stay with staff more than happy to suggest and book restaurants and recommend ways around town. When it started raining, we were given an umbrella to use. Room warm, quiet (despite the road) and comfortable. We enjoyed breakfast, particularly the squeezed orange juice. Would recommend.

It's difficult to evaluate a review of this hotel without knowing the writer's prejudices. Mine are that I like old buildings, old architecture of every kind and modern plumbing. They rarely go together, and if someone tries to put them together there can be a stylistic clash which is uncomfortable. My first reaction to the I Portici hotel was that... More

Very clean and nice rooms. Staff was friendly, kind and helpful. The location of the hotel is excellent. We were very impressed with breakfast as well. The only hickup was that the bed had no headboard.
