Advantages: Good restraunt, good location Disadvantages: bathroom fan has no 'off' switch
First the advice. If you are going to use this hotel (a 3* hotel) the best way to get to it is using the air-coach which goes from Dublin airport every 20 min or so. The stop you want is the 'school house hotel' The grand canalhotel is then just a short walk away. The air coach is far cheaper than taking a taxi (could be as much as ?30 cheaper) and it's quicker.
One of the hotels big advantages (could be seen as a disadvantage by some). It is about a 15 - 20 min walk from the main shoping area of the city, so this means it is fairly quiet at night. However this also means that it is quite a distance from the big tourist attractins such as the Guinnes store house and the Jameson distillery.
The rooms are large, well decorated, double glazed, clean, are all on suite and as you would expect are serviced daily. The only problem ...
Advantages: Good breakfasts, clean accommodation, pleasant and helpful staff. Disadvantages: If you are hot and tired it is a long walk back from the city centre.
On the three occasions we have visited Bologna we have stayed at this hotel.
The staff here have always been helpful and polite, the reception staff speak English fluently.
Each time we have stayed there we have had a different room, all the rooms we have a have been clean an well furnished.
The last time we went was in the Summer 2008 and we were given a room that had a modern bathroom and also had the advantage of a balcony so we were able to sit outside when we were there.
As with lots of Italian hotels in cities it is possible that your room will look onto a residential area but this room was quiet and not overlooked. I cannot remember how the previous two rooms we had were regarding noise but if they had been bad in that respect I would have remembered. I can recall that on an earlier visit we had a problem using ...
Advantages: centrally located, large rooms, excellent value Disadvantages: some rooms on the top floor too hot in winter
I know the Palace Hotel in Bologna because I stayed there every year when we had our annual teachers' conference. I would say it is a
superior three star hotel.
First the location- it is very central just a few minutes walk from the main square Piazza Maggiore. It is tucked away in a small street off the main Via dell'Indipendenza.
The organisation I worked for chose the hotel I think because of its central location and also because it has a large number of rooms. All are comfortable and perfectly well appointed. There is a certain old world style reception area. The quality price trade -off is just right.
Breakfast is usually included and is more than adequate. They had a full breakfast bar the last time I was there and you can order coffee or tea from the staff. They have great cornetti as well which are fresh every morning ...
