The rooms are very small and outdated. Air conditioning didn’t work and the room was very hot. Hotel facilities are minimal. The price per night that I paid at this busy time of year was over US$800 per room per night for a single bed room so the value for money was very poor. Great location which is why I chose to stay there but I feel the hotel is profiteering off the busy period in Bologna

Hotel San Donato is a nice tourist class hotel in Bologna. The location is unbeatable right in the center with all the sights, shops, bars and restaurants. The staff is nice and welcoming and very professional. The rooms are a bit dated but really clean. There are two negatives: the soundproofing doesn’t exist and the water pressure in the bathroom is quite poor. Despite those things, this will be “our hotel” in Bologna also in the future.

Terrible dead animal / sewage smell in the room, when complained told to open the windows without apology. Asked to move rooms and was refused - despite there clearly being rooms available they said there were none. Incredibly uncomfortable bed with a paper thin blanket instead of a duvet. In the morning I found the bed has lots of small black bed bugs in. This hotel is possible one of the worst I’ve ever stayed in, and how it gets its rating it’s beyond me. Avoid this place if you value your health and hygiene.

The room, while clean, was a shoebox with the smallest bed I've been in for years! Bathroom also clean but shower was uncomfortably small, floor slippery! One of the receptionists was an unpleasant young woman who reserved her smiles for management and had a completely inappropriate attitude for someone working in customer service!

The only good thing about this hotel is its location. The room was a shoebox; you could not take more than two steps in it. The bathroom was ok with cheap (and very few) amenities. The paper in the tissue box was like sand paper... I guess the price is only for the location.
