I stayed in both mercue bologna and this hotel, so can make a more fair comparison.
1) if you are a sound sensitive sleeper, please NEVER stay in the hotel facing the train station side. You can hear the train!! I requested a room facing the opposite site, Mercure gave me a quiet backyard one, but Starhotel didn’t.
2) if you are a Accor member, you’ll get minibar free at Mercue! However, there’s even not a bottle of water provided at Starhotel….
3) if you choose breakfast included, mercue provides a very decent one with various fresh fruits! However, Starhotel one can make you feel depressed after two days… and I even have to skip the last one because the line looks like taking at least an hour to even get in….
4) in short, mercue is better, and I don’t know why it gets a very low rating at Google, and I will never come back to this hotel.

Very good position, just in front of the Bologna Central Station.
Our room was very spacious and clean. Nice furniture too

Excellent location just opposite to central station but 15-20mins to Piazza Maggiore/the old town centre. Service was very good, especially concierge. Very spacious room size. We are on the 7/F and got a view overlooking the city. The only issue was the sink drainage was not good and overflown. Overall good experience and recommended.

We had a wonderful stay at Starhotels Excelsior. The room was small, but comfortable and well-appointed, but what really stood out was the excellent service. We had the pleasure of meeting Andrea M, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. He was incredibly pleasant to interact with and gave us fantastic recommendations for dinner and how to best explore Bologna during our short visit. His kindness and professionalism truly enhanced our experience. Wishing him all the best, and many thanks for such a delightful stay!

The staff were very kind and helpful. Even though we arrived late at night and the lobby was full of people, getting our room was quick and easy. The room smelled great, was very clean, and everything was just right. The staff at the reception at 4 a.m. was especially kind and helpful. We are very grateful to have had him. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Excellent hotel, congratulations!!! It is located right across from the main station in Bologna, and still retains its beauty, peace, and cleanliness. It looks almost renovated, the staff is very friendly, the rooms are clean and HUGE, the air conditioning works perfectly, the breakfast is very high quality and varied enough. The ratio of price and quality is top ten! The only downsides are that late at night due to the proximity of the main station, it might not be the smartest thing to sit alone (although we didn't have any problems or saw any potential problems, there were no suspicious guys, incidents, etc.) and the lack of slippers in the room (if that's a downside it is clear to you that there are none in fact). If I come back, I will stay here again.
