We reserved a week (6 nights) at this hotel. The reservation process was not easy. Any question you ask, they ask you to send an email. That’s fine as that is the way things work in Italy. However, they did not answer emails. We thought to ourselves that if the reservation process is that challenging, maybe that is a sign. Nonetheless, my wife decided to try one last time and all fell into place. We should have listened to our first impression and instinct. The hotel is beautifully located on an elevation which gives nice views. The rooms are modern and nicely decorated and equipped. However, the service is far from the 5 stars they claim to be. Prior to our trip, we tried to enlist their help to recommend and possibly reserve visits fro prosciutto tasting, cheese tasting, and wine tasting. The front desk staff was not responsive. Called and spoke to the manager. She managed to reserve wine tasting but none of the others. “They never got back to me” she said. Hmmm. OK. A little strange that a 5-star hotel of this size would not be able to reserve these things, which are super common in the area as we found out upon taking on the task ourselves. We served as our own Concierge. Reserved visits and it was not as hard as she made it seem. The prosciutto and cheese makers got back to us just fine and reserved a visit. We had reserved a suite and a room. Upon arrival, we were informed that the room was upgraded to a suite. Nice! Unfortunately, after the first night, using the shower resulted in flooding the room. The night person who was on duty was very nice and did his best to help clean the water but could not fix anything. The next morning, we informed the day staff and they were to look into it. In the interim, we were told not to use the shower. Not the response we had hoped for. No “we can move you to another room. Sorry for the inconvenience, etc..” The next day, workers came to fix it - supposedly. Upon returning after a hot day visiting the area, we tried to shower: flood again! Next day, spoke to the same front desk manager. It turned out that they “fixed” the bathtub, which was not at all leaking. She acknowledged this was miscommunication between her staff and herself. She did not offer anything more than “I will speak to them”. We are now 3 days without a functioning shower. Workers returned the next day and we were informed by email that the shower cannot be fixed. They offered to move us to 2 different rooms. We are now nearing the end of our stay. And the prospect of packing everything and moving when we have 2 nights left was less than appealing. Had this bee offered initially, rather than 2-3 days later, it might have been better. We explained this. We also expressed dissatisfaction about the whole situation, including the miscommunication that took place that led to further delay to figure out the issue, our inability to use the shower in the room, etc. The manage simply offered “I will speak to them”. No show of any apolo
In un non facile weekend tra Gran Premio a Imola e ponte per i vacanzieri, l'hotel era esaurito ma la tariffa ed il livello di servizio sono rimasti friendly. Moderno ed accogliente in tutto, dal parcheggio alla sala colazione.
Be sure to arrive during the times they say because you cannot get inside the gate of you don't. Also, there were no basic toiletries in the bathroom I.E. hand soap. Transportation is limited to Uber and that is quit expensive. The owner was nice enought to drive us to the train station.
The structure is very nice. We stayed in the attic and to sleep we saw that the roof made of wooden beams was beautiful. The room was huge, we had very comfortable spaces and the bathroom was clean, well equipped and spacious. The instructions for the automatic check-in (we arrived very late and left very early for our needs) were very clear and simple, as was the payment method. The staff were very friendly even though we never met them in person. They prepared a very respectable breakfast for us with pancakes and things in the fridge. Really great.
GGlobetrotter008This cute little hotel is located right next to Basilica di San Petronio, along the side street and well away from the noise of Piazza Maggiore. As the building is located in a pedestrianised zone parking is expensive. To get there from the airport we used the Marconi Express monorail for novelty value – make sure you get on the slower train! – though taxi for two people was roughly the same cost. As we entered the reception we liked the stylish décor and the general ambiance of the place. The reception dealt swiftly and courteously with all the check-in formalities. All the common areas are tastefully decorated, with heavy-wooden doors in each room. Our Standard Room was of good size, overlooking the courtyard and with two comfortable beds pushed together. The décor, in line with the rest of the hotel was traditional with plenty of seating and a large wardrobe with a safe box. There were coffee-making facilities. WiFi signal was good, TV had only non-English speaking channels. The bathroom was of a standard size with all the usual accessories. Bathrobes and slippers were provided. The hotel does not serve dinners which was not a problem considering there was a great 051 Osteria right outside and many other eateries nearby. The breakfast was very good, with a great selection of cheeses and cold meats as well as fresh fruit. They also had some fantastic cakes on offer. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Art Hotel Commercianti.
AAndré FilipeAmazing service, very kind staff.
Very nice sized room and comfortable bed.
Very clean and with attention to details.
Very good breakfast with a lot to choose from.
A bit far from the center by foot, but a small bus ride from the nearest bus station.
Combo Hostel, Bologna Approx 15 min walk from train station. Utilitarian in a cool, funky way. VERY bright colours in the corridors. Very friendly helpful staff. Nice, reasonably priced bar with indoor and outdoor garden seating areas. Excellent breakfast. Rooms clean and spacious. Laundry with two washing machines, two dryers, two airers and iron/ironing board. Would definitely stay again
ゲゲストIt’s a nice hotel. They did a good job on the breakfast buffet. They also serve dinner at the hotel and have a small bar. There is a shopping center across the street. You can take an Uber from the train station to the hotel but you won’t be able to get one to take you back. A taxi is the same price. The walls are super thin heard the neighbors talking all night. Mattress need to be replaced.
