Novotel Bologna Fiera

Most comfortable beds so far in Italy. Nice pool, playing ping-pong, easy parking, nice staff

An excellent choice for us because of its lovely outdoor pool and general Novotel standards of comfort and cleanliness. Big positive was the personal service of the front desk staff including, when asked what time was check out, the male receptionist basically inviting us to leave when we liked. Amazing service which makes all the difference. Disappointing was breakfast. Poor selection and a finish at 9am which, in reality, was more like 8.45am as they started taking food away and rudely refusing to restock supplies. Such a shame because this let's the hotel down and is not up to usual Novotel standards! Area is out of the city and unattractive but as long as you know that it is perfectly fine. Simple taxi ride into the heart of amazing Bologna.

Its fine. Convenient to motorway and easy parking if you have car. Nothing around if you dont have a car. Coffee at breakfast was awful awful. Everything else very good

Helpful staff, nice breakfast, good restaurant, excellent room (clean, quiet, nicely air conditioned) comfy kingsize double bed. Pool only open June to Sept. Nearest bus stop is Sirenella, 15 minutes walk through park, ok during daytime but we avoided at night. Bus stop outside hotel is for FICO bus to Eataly world and not usable with city bus tickets. Taxi from airport was 15 Euros and to from Bolonga was 10-15 Euros depending on traffic.

A truly terrible hotel set in a remote location next to a motorway and industrial estate. The swimming pool was closed and looked like a swamp, the shower leaked water all over the floor and the air conditioning didn’t work despite it being 27 degrees. The hotel is 1.5km from the nearest bus route and if you ask the reception to call a cab they start charging from the moment they are called so expect the meter to start on €8 when you get in. Probably the worst hotel I’ve stayed in for 10 years. Truly awful. Avoid at all costs.
