Location
City Centre, Museum Area, University
The medieval layout of Bologna's historical centre is still quite visible, with its main roads, currently connected to Via Ugo Bassi and Via Rizzoli, heading towards the outskirts via the ancient Roman decuman structure. The city offers a lot of its past, such as the ring of walls surrounding the central area, dating back to 1300, with 12 access gates, of which 9 are perfectly preserved. Bologna's main symbols towers are the Asinelli and the Garisenda towers, a monumental complex which dates back to the first municipal age around 1100. Also very important is the ecclesiastic Gothic architecture of the main churches from the 1200's and 1300's, linked to the expansion of religious orders. Among these are San Domenico, San Francesco, San Giacomo and San Martino. In the same period, Piazza Maggiore started taking shape, including the palaces of the Podestà and of King Enzo, the Palazzo Comunale and the Basilica di San Petronio, which was established in 1390. There are also examples of remarkable baroque art, also linked to religious architecture, such as the churches of San Paolo and San Salvatore, and the cathedral of San Pietro, although the latter has Romanic origins.

My wife and I spent 4 days at the San Donato (April7th - April 11th) and found the hotel to be a great location, clean, comfortable, with the best breakfast we have had in our many trips to Europe. All of the paled in comparison to the staff. They were all spectacular. The maid, the bar/restaurant staff and the front desk staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. One member named Gaetano worked very hard to clear up a car rental snaffu. His help saved us a good bit of money, time and frustration.

After reading other reviews about this hotel i was very weary about booking it, but thought if it's in the centre i will save a fortune on taxi's etc. I was very pleasantly surprised the hotel was beautiful, our room was spotless and very spacious with a huge bathroom with power shower! The breakfast was basic but you wouldnt starve. The second floor roof top terrace is a must we sat out and read in the evening sun, it was so peaceful and views were amazing.
The hotel location was perfect, a minute walk from the historical two towers, museums and main square. The shops and market are about a 5/10 minute walk. There is an Irish & English Bar down the road from the hotel which was very handy for late night drinks and entertainment!
We experienced no noise whatsoever and no building work was going on. I can't say enough about our stay but one thing for sure we will be back and i wouldn't stay anywhere else!!
