After reading really bad reviews, I was expecting the worst. However, this is not a bad hotel. Staff are polite. Rooms are quite decent. Breakfast has a wide variety of options. My biggest complaint would be the pressure of the hot water in the shower. That really ruined the end of my stay.

Pleasant nice friendly staff.

The hotel was in a great location but was dated and I expected more from the price. There was mould around the bathroom sealant and there was a strong smell of food being cooked coming into the room which wasn’t pleasant. Breakfast was good with a varied selection.

Smooth checkin, nice room with facilities and good space in the room, good bar.

Location in front of train station with only a short walk to the old town is perfect. Super friendly and helpful staff. But the property is oh so old and dated. Room needs a complete remodelling. Lacking amenities. Probably would stay at the newer hotel next door next time.

Feeling cautious on the first trip after such a long time. The welcome before arriving and during the whole stay was warm and friendly, safety and hygiene was clearly top priority. It was a good place to be to enjoy Bologna and the region.

Not great. Poor service and limited opening of bar. Went to hotel next door for service

Very polite stuff, rooms are typical Italian design, bit smaller I`m used to be in Merkure chain - this also depends on country.

Very old hotel, bathroom is from the 80s. Way to expensive for this experience.

Good location by the train station and all the furniture and the hotel in itself would have been great back in the day but everything is rather old and unloved now. Saying this the room was clean, the bed was nice and comfy and the service very good as well.

Funghi in the bathroom, disgusting breakfast, paper hanging from the walls, shower working half and air conditioning not at all, walls made from paper,...

Mercure Bologna Central is well located right in front of the train station, with a small walk to the vivious city centre. The staff was very nice. However, the rooms really could use some refurbishment (cracked tiles in the bathroom, outdated furniture, carpet with stains).

Room was really old, dirty carpet, broken wall and floor in bathroom, dirty bath. I don't know how this hotel can have 4 stars.

Never again

Good sized rooms. Clean and tidy. Needs maintenance [broken chair].and updating. Travelled home during the corona virus. Early morning on the day of our departure [06.00] our flight was cancelled. Had to re-book with another airline. Pasquale on the front desk went the extra mile to help us. Got home safely. Thank you.
