Très bien placé pour une visite du centre-ville historique. Un charme romantique et ombragé. Mais en Zone de Trafic Limité pour ceux venant en voiture (parking très restreint à réserver en avance et coûteux 25€, 9€ proposé en ZTL). La ZTL apporte un risque de PV automatique. Concernant l'hôtel, en comparaison avec l'hôtel de Londres à Rimini où nous étions la veille, +30% en qualité prix pour Rimini. A San Mamolo, la sdb est stretto, pas d'eau en boisson offerte, des escaliers.. Deux restaurants se trouvent à proximité.

Super schöne Unterkunft! Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit! Die Zimmer haben alles was man braucht (Klimaanlage war wichtig) und der Innenhof ist wunderschön grün. Die Lage des Hotels war hervorragend um fußläufig Bologna zu erkunden. Das Auto konnten wir vor dem Hotel mit einem 24 Stunden Ticket für 9€ parken, da die Garage voll war (haben wir aber auch vorab nicht angefragt). Insgesamt seeehr zu empfehlen!

We are a family of 4 adults staying in two rooms - one twinned and one extra double, which are next to each other. We stayed for 4 nights in Feb half term. Location: 10/15 minutes walk to main town square, 25 mins to Bologna Centrale train station. Or use 32 bus (circular) round outskirt of main town. HPSM is in a residential area which is nicer, quieter and with better air quality than those near train stations. Facilities: only triple room has tea and coffee making facilities; all have hairdryer, mini bar and safe. Lovely shower but it is a shame that it has no baths. Good breakfast, a wide range of food and drinks. Beautiful courtyards, ideal for summer outdoor seating. Staff: very helpful and friendly. Rooms are cleaned and towels replaced everyday. Overall: A great place to stay, close to main square and there are two very good restaurants nearby, one (in the corner) is listed in a guide book. Bookings are essential.

L'intero staff professionale, estremamente gentile, disponibile e accogliente come raramente accade di incontrare. Assolutamente consigliato anche per l'attenzione dedicata ai bambini.

I recently stayed at Hotel Port Mamolo in Bologna and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is conveniently located near all the main sites in Bologna. The property was clean with a beautiful garden area. A very lovely breakfast was included as well. There are 2 nice restaurants on the same street…I received excellent service at Osteria Antica and the food was fantastic. I am a solo, mature female traveler and I felt very safe here. Safe travels!

Pessima esperienze. L’hotel è anche in una buona posizione ma, sarò stato sfortunato ma la camera numero 8 è in continuità con la sala breakfast, quindi dalle 5.30 avete finito di dormire. Certe camere non andrebbero vendute ma andrebbero adibite a ripostigli o locali tecnici!!! Inoltre lo sciacquone continuava a scaricare acqua e a riempirsi ed ho dovuto chiudere a mano il rubinetto.

Rom litt bortenfor resepsjonen gjennom en annen inngang. Bra frokost med godt utvalg, hvor en kan velge å sitte ute i bakhagen, eller inne. Fikk problemer med A/C der det tok litt vel lang tid får det kom hjelp. Resepsjonisten påsto at han som skulle komme var blitt heftet i en garasje, men han selv sa at han hadde hatt siesta😅 Hotellet ligger helt i utkanten av bykjernen, men i grei gåavstand til det aller meste.

Excellent location, room is big enough, bed is really comfortable, breakfast is the best hotel breakfast I've had in Italy, my only issue was with the air conditioner that wouldn't turn on at first, then someone from the lobby helped me get it running but after about 1-2 hours it went back to not working, left the window open (thankfully the temperature was good outside) but then the noise grows exponentially which makes it a bit difficult to fall asleep.

Excellent établissement et bien situé (10 petites mn du vieux Bologne). Le personnel est aimable et à l'écoute. Notre chambre était spacieuse avec le lit sur la mezzanine. Le ménage est fait tous les jours. Il y a une machine nespresso avec dosettes ré approvisionnées. Mention particulière pour le petit déjeuner avec un choix de charcuterie, pains, gateaux, yaourts, fruits....et l'équipe est formidable. Le seul petit souci est l'insonorisation de la chambre. Nous entendions (les 2 dernières nuits) la tv du voisin très tard et cela était gênant mais à part cet inconvénient je recommande vivement cet hôtel

It was a fantastic place to stay, we thoroughly enjoyed it and undoubtedly we will return if we visit Bologna again. The only reason I didn’t give it 5stars is because the shower didn’t have sufficient hot water one morning. Often, this would bother me more but because everything else was SO good, it paled into insignificance!! The staff were also particularly accommodating and hospitable. Many thanks!

The location was fantastic. On the edge of the historic centre and only a short walk from Piazza Maggiore. The bed was excellent and the room was spacious. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant opposite the hotel was great and really reasonably priced. The breakfast was good and the staff each morning were very attentive. Although it could do with more cereal and fruit options. Our only gripes with the room were that it was constantly too warm for us (even when the radiators were turned down. Although this may not be an issue for others). The family in the room above were very noisy late into the night (this is obviously not the fault of the hotel. Simply a lack of consideration from the family above us and not the best sound proofing due to the age of the property). We would definitely stay again on our return to the city (later in the year the air conditioning would be turned on so the heat wouldn’t be an issue)

We hired a car for the day and this was arranged by the hotel staff. The room was comfortable and clean with a large king sized bed. We ate in a restaurant around the corner on our first night and the food was excellent. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
