Cozy room with wood floor and classic wood decor and 1970 ish tech panels. Room in 1st floor was generally quiet and spacious. Room is clean daily by staff, but did notice a thin coat of dust on some old panels. Bathroom is spacious with a separate bidet and small shower stand. Bus stops, supermarkets, and some restaurants are within walking distances . Price is reasonable $60-$70/night.

Helpful staff and decent on-site parking area. The parking area and the streets surrounding the hotel are a little narrow, as is typical of Bologna, but can successfully accommodate at least a mid-sized SUV. The room itself was very spacious and had plenty of surfaces for use and storage. Lots of amenities and lots of windows that can let in natural light (with adjustable blinds). We would've liked to be able to adjust the shower water to be hotter, but had no issue with the sink/wash basin tap. The beds were very large and comfortable. Very reasonably priced breakfast. There are also several small sit-down and take-out restaurants within walking distance, as well as a couple small grocery stores. Around an hour's drive away from the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari, though it will take longer during the race weekend due to traffic. Also within walking distance of the train station and multiple bus stops. We enjoyed our stay, and the extremely spacious room was definitely a big highlight!

We had a lovely room with a balcony. It was really more of a suite and suited our group of three singles traveling together. Our room was large, with plenty of space to spread out. The staff was great.

Average condition hotel. We had two rooms as we were a family of 4. Both rooms comfortable, clean. No amenities in the room. Restaurant only open for breakfast.

Lovely hotel and great sized rooms. Quite a walk from central Bologna, around 30 minutes but it is an easy route to take. Good transport connections outside the property.

"(...) don't forget to review Grand Hotel Elite." I received this message after my stay. Are you sure you want to hear from me? I'll try not to be offensive, as I could tell the staff were doing a great job trying to compensate for what the hotel itself failed to offer. The entire building should probably be demolished and rebuilt from scratch. We only needed a room for a few hours, as we landed in the evening and had an early morning appointment in town. For that reason, we couldn’t be bothered to make a formal complaint at the time. To be honest, I still don't know where to begin. I’ll just mention that there was something that looked like a dishwasher, bizarrely placed in the middle of the room.

The staff were friendly and the room was clean. The shower head holder was broken this was reported to staff but it was not fixed for our stay. The breakfast was not worth 8 euros. It was a choice of cold bacon and cold scrambled eggs. Toast. A cold boiled egg.The coffee machine was broken. Plus a continental breakfast. As you walk into the hotel it is very dark wood as it is a retro hotel but looks very old. There is no evening meal availability as the restaurant is closed.
