皇家卡尔顿酒店

It’s a nice old-school hotel which is centrally located between the train station and the old town so ticked all boxes for us. Room was well appointed and dark when it mattered, bed was comfortable and A/C worked well. Only negative is that the mini bar was filled with items that auto charge to your account once you move them, so you can’t fit much of your own personal items in the fridge.

Good location for traveling

The Carlton is a beautiful property inside, with gorgeous decor and artwork. We stayed here on two separate overnight stays in June 2026 and did not really observe the exterior. The staff were all efficient and most were quite friendly. One point to note is that there is no drinking water available in the common areas. If you’re traveling here in the summer and have to wait in line to check in once you arrive (very likely) you might wish you had brought a bottle of water along. They do have a bar on the first floor where you can buy drinks, but it was not always staffed. The rooms are great. Our rooms only had handheld shower heads, so I suspect that’s the norm throughout. They will hold your luggage in storage. We walked to and from the train station with our luggage in tow and found that “doable”. There weren’t any significant slopes, but the terrain is not all smooth. I wouldn’t want to push more than one piece of luggage per person. There are a lot of crowds near the train station pushing luggage. FYI. Know that strikes are common in Italy. All manner of things we all come to take for granted might not be available when you need them. We arranged in advance with the hotel for a private car to take us to the airport on our departure day. It was expensive, but worked perfectly. All in all, we found this to be a really nice place to stay and would happily stay here again.

Sehr schönen Hotel, grosszügige Zimmer, ruhig. Ideal gelegen zwischen Bahnhof und Altstadt. Topp!!

Hyvä paikka hyvällä sijainnilla, lähellä juna asemaa ja lyhyt matka vanhaan keskustaan. Huoneen parveke/terassi oli hieman huono, korkealla betoni aidalla ympäröity neliö. Ainoa näkymä oli ylöspäin.

Super service ved indtjekning, og gav gerne råd om bl.a. lokale spisesteder

Var gjest på hotellet for 4. året på rad. Hadde juniorsuite, som var stor og komfortabel. Litt slitt, særlig gulvtepper, og dusjen hadde dårlig trykk, og ikke alltid varmt nok vann. Deilig med jacuzzi. Utmerket frokost, men for mye kø ved kaffemaskinene som var trege. Vi kommer sikkert tilbake igjen, elsker dette hotellet.

We arrived very late, around midnight, and immediately encountered a serious water‑leaking problem in our room. Water was pouring from the closet ceiling and running down onto the carpet — not a small drip, but more like heavy rain for 30 mins. We called the reception, and a technician came to check. He told us the leak was caused by the AC system and instructed us not to use the AC for the entire night. Instead, we were given two fans. We asked for a new room, but the reception told us the hotel was fully booked and that the manager would not be available until 7 AM. However, no one contacted us at all. By 11:30 AM next day, I went to the reception myself, and their attitude was simply, “Yes, that happened, but there’s nothing we can do.” As a result, we had to stay the whole night in a room with water leaking from the ceiling, wet carpet, and no AC, while the temperature was around 80°F (27°C). To make things worse, they told us they couldn’t do anything because we booked through Expedia. This was extremely disappointing. For a hotel of this level, I expected much better service, communication, and responsibility. Expedia, pls contact me for the video and photos.

Albergo stile America ma non con l’approccio che si trova lì quindi zero absolutely Aria condizionata in stanza rumorosissima Non ci tornerò

Waited 40 minutes in line for checkin. Door handle fell off the bathroom door, tried to call 3 times to report it, no one picked up. Reported it to bell service, they said go to front office, didn't want to wait another 40 minutes.

Excellent hotel in a great location, 8 mins walk from the rail station and only 10 mins to the fabulous old town. The hotel is in a traditional style in very good condition and spotlessly clean. The room was quiet, spacious and had great air conditioning- a must in the June 35*C heat of Bologna! We took advantage of the €20 room credit and took evening meal in the restaurant. Both food and service was again excellent. Having only stayed for one night we left our bags with the hotel concierge to further explore Bologna after Check out. I would not hesitate to stay at the Royal Carlton if again in Bologna.

Great hotel and conveniently close to everything

Nice hotel.

Lovely hotel in a good location. close to main rail station and a short walk to Piazza Maggiore. Hotel has a nice bar area and Spoon restaurant serves excellent food. Staff were all pleasant and very helpful. We stayed in the junior suite which was extremely spacious and well presented.

Beautiful property close to amenities only hiccup was we had a food credit we thought we could use for breakfast buffet o ly to be told after it was only good for the bar and restaurant.

good location, reception staff nor very friendly
