Newly renovated with modern designs and trendy character, Savhotel is 500 metres from the Fiera di Bologna exhibition centre.

The hotel and amenities were great for a hotel which is outside the city center close to the fair. The dry-cleaning service was surprisingly efficient and excellent. The management and staff were outstanding. The breakfast was so-so for 12 Euros. It was not included in my room price but extra, however, we found the local coffee shop which is a 5 minute walk from the hotel, a much better option for Celiac dietary breakfast concerns. We could get more breakfast gluten free options there because they made smoothies etc. I have to say that the hotel's coffee was exceptionally good; the restaurant staff are really wonderful and we had dinner at the hotel 3 of our nights in Bologna and the food was lovely. The front desk staff were exceptional and went our of their way to assist us with getting taxi's or giving us directions on just about anything. We also understand that a European approach to breakfast is somewhat different to a North American one. Their breakfast might be fine for others, so I wouldn't be hard on the hotel for that. It just didn't work for us but I would return to the SavHotel in a skinny second. It certainly worked for us with attending the Bologna Children's Book Fair.

Unfortunately, our experience at the hotel was not very satisfying. Despite staying in the Imperial Suite as a group of five, only one bottle of water was provided in the room, which was quite disappointing. The complimentary items, such as coffee and tea, were very limited and were never replenished throughout our stay. When we asked for additional water, we were told there would be an extra charge, which was unexpected for a suite of this level. Room cleaning was also below expectations. Overall, we believe there is room for improvement, especially in terms of hospitality and guest comfort.

    Our room and its design was beautiful! Really stylish and elegant with a huge window and view over the square. The bathroom and shower were lovely, and we had a walk-in area to keep clothes and bags, which kept the whole space feeling clean and lovely. Whilst we didn’t meet our host, they were very communicative and lovely, and gave us all the information we needed for our stay. They were really proactive and checked in just the right amount.

    What a gorgeous find this hotel was! A lovely little boutique hotel tucked away with a beautiful courtyard (sadly I brought the rain with me from Manchester so I couldn’t enjoy it). Breakfast was divine and the staff in the restaurant were lovely - remembering my coffee order from the day before so I didn’t even need to ask, was a nice touch and much appreciated. Highly recommended and i would definitely stay here again

Room had fabulous high ceilings & great designer detailing though it took a few goes to work out how the flat panelled light switches & sockets worked.
