"The service, staff and concept was excellent.
I really appreciated the free laundry machines, but it was disappointing that many of the dryers were dirty.
The location was close to the station in terms of distance, but it was on the opposite side where there was nothing around. At night the neighborhood felt a little uneasy, as there were some people shouting and arguing nearby."
"When we arrived at the properly we were a bit worried if the area would be safe as a single woman travelling with a child as there were a few people lingering outside. When entering the properly I was greeted warmly by very professional and friendly staff. The decor was absolutely beautiful and the breakfast was superb. The room was clean and so comfortable. The area was very close to great attractions in la Rambla. We didn’t have any problems with the hotel or surrounding area and felt safe walking to and from the hotel. "
"On our first visit to Bologna we figured we would stay at the hotel Metropolitan because of its location in the city as it was fairly central to all the interesting areas and gave us a great place to start to explore from. One thing to note is that it is a bit of a walk from the train station, but the walk is nice and is mostly under porticoes which made it much more enjoyable.
The hotel itself was very clean and nice and the room was set up very well. I did read from other reviewers about the odd shower/bathroom arrangement and I need to report that it was indeed a bit odd for us as well. Once we figured it out it was not an issue though and we got along with the bathroom/shower just fine.
The hotel staff was very friendly and the rooftop lounge was a great place to spend the later evenings and sometimes the late afternoons. The rooftop lounge had very nice views with good drinks and snacks. The breakfast downstairs was good, but I would only rate it a 6 out of 10 due to the lack of selection. I will tell you that the coffee was fantastic though!
We quickly fell into the timing of the Bologna locals which included a light lunch around 12-1pm, an Apertivo around 5-6pm with a very small snack and then dinner at 7-8pm. This is not our normal timing (being from the US), but once you get into the flow it works quite well and you can tell the time by the packed crowds at either the bars and/or restaurants.
The hotel was great!"
