WOW... Is the first word that comes to mind when I'm thinking about Savoia Hotel Regency…read more When I booked this hotel online, the pictures really do not do it justice. I stumbled upon this lovely hotel when vetting all other hotel options around the area of Bologna. The reviews of the hotel looked decent, the pictures made it look clean, and it wasn't too far out of the city center of Bologna. Well, when we rolled up to this beautiful place my jaw dropped. The fountain was going, the lights were shining, and the hotel lit up like a Christmas tree. We walked into the lobby, and yet another jaw dropping moment. The lobby was clean, spacious, and beautiful with chandeliers and marble tables. The people at the front desk were beyond helpful and friendly. The room was spacious (especially considering there were three of us). The bed was one of the more comfortable beds I've slept in, in my experience of hotels in Europe. The only issue I had was the bathroom. Don't get me wrong, the bathroom was beautiful and spacious, but there was no bathtub, and really no adequate shower. The shower consisted of folding walls; each day the cleaning ladies would clean the room and fold the shower doors back, then each day when we wanted to shower we had to assemble the doors back again - it was a bit strange, but not a total turn off. Now, there was a restaurant that was attached to the hotel. I know what you may be thinking, "blah, hotel restaurant, how good could it possibly be?", well this restaurant was pretty damn good. So good, in fact, that we decided to eat there twice in our three night stint at the hotel! I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Bologna.

Fabulous hotel. The lobby, grounds, room, bathroom were all beautiful. Its not in the heart of the…read morehistoric area of Bologna, but they accept dogs which was key for us. The room was spacious, clean, bathroom was new and spotless. The staff were helpful and attentive. The hotel was a 12 euro cab ride away from the heart of the historic district and they have a fabulous restaurant on site if you'd rather stay here to eat. The parking is easy, there is not much near the hotel to walk to but shops, restaurants and movie theatre are close by.

Wish I could give it zero stars. Stayed here for two nights and I can't think of anything positive…read moreto say other than it's a very short walk to train station. The neighborhood is sketchy at best the hotel staff are nice enough but seem genuinely disinterested in doing anything that could be described as truly helpful. We paid over $400/night for a suite that had a noisy bed, a combo bath and shower that you have to climb to get into is dangerously slippery and lousy water pressure and a safe that doesn't work. After staying at great hotels throughout Italy this is one to be avoided. And the perfect ending to a horrible stay. Upon checkout tried to charge us $8 euros saying the powdered eggs in the buffet were not included lol. $400+ euros per night and watery fake eggs are extra charge

I booked a Superior room for myself and an Executive room for my sister and my brother-in-law. We stayed here for 2 nights after touring other cities in Italy and had tickets to Ferrari Museum in Maranello but I wasn't interested in hotels in Modena/Maranello. There's a pharmacy, Japanese restaurant, store and gelateria outside this hotel. It's within walking distance to piazzas, restaurants and shopping area. It's about a 30-minute train ride to Modena. The hotel has a modern look - glass stairs (don't worry, there is an elevator) and glass panels, modern decor and pictures on the wall. I loved my red room (my favorite color), white linens and furniture, led panel above the head of the bed - it looked sharp and it was clean. The bed was comfortable and I slept well each night. There's a small white flat-screen TV I watched BBC on (and anime dubbed in Italian - hilarious!). The bathroom was nice and contemporary. I didn't mind using the toiletries - the soap, shampoo and lotion smelled pretty good. I forgot to bring my laptop so I wasn't able to use their free wifi. Instead, I used their computer at the lobby for 8euros. The staff was great and helpful. We had an early morning flight and they got us a cab to the airport. I enjoyed my stay and would gladly recommend this hotel/ come back when I'm in the area.

I give the hotel 5 stars and the restaurant 1 star. Avoid the restaurant because the food is simply…read morenot good and bland. There are tons of high quality restaurants in the area to choose from.
