3.1 / 5 3.1 / 5 Melissa [Godalming, United Kingdom] on 22/09/2004 (Other)

The bathroom was good, great shower and location was excellent.

Basic and dated rooms - not boutique as the website claims.

Overall: This is not a boutique hotel compared to some I have stayed in. The reception is very impressive, so too is the bar. However, this is not reflected in the guest rooms as should be the case. Boutique hotels are usually minimalist, trendy lighting and with a cutting edge. The rooms here are very insignificant, carpet not only on the floor but running up the sides of the walls in the bedroom, dated mahogany furniture and old fashioned standard lamps. There was only one bathrobe for a double room, one tea cup but 4 pairs of slippers! The only difference between a Superior room and Deluxe is the Deluxe is slightly bigger so I would definitely not bother with an upgrade again. Tinned fruit for breakfast was not very impressive and think the hotel could have done a bit better on this front. However, the staff were excellent, very helpful and friendly. It was a great location, by the train and within walking distance to the attractions. The downside is that it is portrayed as a boutique hotel, when the only part of the hotel that is boutique is the reception and bar and most definitely not the rooms.  (1324562)

Overall: There was no restaurant facility due to 'Temporary closure' but excellent breakfast facilities were offered and a limited bar-based menu at other times. This was the major short-coming of the Bologna hotel. Closeness to the railway station was a big PLUS!  (97848512)

the location is good and all the service is good

the cleaning is good but the timing on it could be better if you are out all day from 9-4 o´clock you expect the room clean if you put the sign out PLEASE CLEAN THE ROOM

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
