What guests think

Across numerous reviews,Mercure Bologna Centro is praised for its unbeatable location opposite Bologna Centrale and friendly, efficient staff, with travellers highlighting clean, comfortable stays, a pleasant garden, and generally strong breakfasts suited to short city or rail-focused trips.

Rooms range from modern to quite dated, with some small bathrooms and firm mattresses noted. Street-facing rooms can be noisy, while courtyard-facing ones are quieter; a few guests felt the immediate area is less appealing at night. Expect a practical base close to transport rather than a luxury stay.

Nettes Personal und das Hotel liegt direkt gegenüber vom Bahnhof/Bushof sodass man alles gut erreichen kann. Unser Zimmer war dem Preis angemessen, nicht renoviert wie die meisten aber sauber mit einem riesigen Bett und Blick auf den Garten. Das einzige was ich etwas schade fand, ist dass es abends oft auf der Terrasse der Bar sehr sehr lau war bis 2 Uhr und keiner etwas dagegen unternommen hat von den Angestellten. Wir würden das Hotel aber nochmals buchen

The room was excellent. Very clean, everything worked properly. Strong air conditioner. Super comfortable bed. Great location as it’s right across from Bologna Centrale and close walking distance from the historic district. Best of all was Pasquale. We arrived extremely late (maybe 1:30 in the morning) and he received us with a smile, great information, and concern for our needs. Just a wonderful person. And the quiet garden area is sublime for morning coffee.

Sort of a rundown that might be getting a facelift but it in our room. On the good side it is near the train station and the breakfast was expensive but very good. The internet was average and bed was large and fairly comfortable. On the negative side the bathroom is like from the 50s on Rte 66 could not even get into the shower. Tv did have a few English options but mostly just news, you can not control the a/c it was a tad warmer than I prefer. For the price is was not worth the money but does avoid a couple taxis if you have an overnight connection.

We enjoyed being just across from the train station since we were lugging several bags. It is a close walkable distance to the city center with great options for restaurants. The Mercure is nice and we had a renovated room and loved it. It was spacious enough for us. Loved our hotel host as well - so kind. She is English but can’t remember her name - maybe Sarah.

Loved the convenience of this hotel because we were only there for a couple of days. It's literally across the street from the train station, making it so easy to get into town. It's easy to walk into town from there as well. Lots of handy bars, shops, cafe's, etc right within a stones throw. The ONLY complaint was that it was a bit loud at night but our room faced the train station so maybe if you have a different room it wouldn't be an issue.

Hotel muito bem localizado para viagens curtas e para locomoção por ser em frente à estação de trens Bologna Centrale e ao lado do Parco della Montagnola. À noite as redondezas do hotel parece um pouco insegura. É bem próximo do centro histórico, podendo se deslocar a pé até lá pela via dell´Independenza onde o comércio é bem forte. O hotel é antigo mas o quarto estava ok, sem luxo mas limpo e com o que é necessário para poucas noites. Café da manhã variado e bem gostoso.
