Great place to stay

We had a triple prestige room for my wife, daughter (15) and myself. There was ample space and the beds were comfy. The included breakfast was very good, but it didget busy towards the end of service. The pool is amazing being Olympic size. You do have to pay for the sunbeds and umbrellas, but that does mean they are available and not just covered in towels from 7am. But if you are planning several days around the pool the costs will mount up. The hotel is a little bit out of the city centre and a taxi will cost about €25 each way. There is a bus but it takes over an hour. Best to have a car.

A very nice hotel a bit too far from the city

Had an enjoyable stay at the Living Place Hotel. Used it as a base to travel around. Hotel was nice and airy, breakfast good, pool was welcome as the temperatures got higher. Restaurant was also very good. Room was average and air con didn’t seem to cool it a great deal resulting in warm nights. Overall an enjoyable stay and would recommend as a base but it is a little too far from the city of Bologna for evening meals or exploring.

Probably the best swimming pool and breakfast in Bologna. Whilst out of town the 89 bus from outside the hotel gets you to the city centre in 30 minutes. The only area of improvement is training for the bar staff, as sadly it took 25 minutes to get served a single glass of wine at the bar

Really liked the hotel - clean, great breakfast buffet (with gluten free options!) Beautiful, giant pool. My only complaint is that guests need to pay for the use of chairs/loungers, umbrellas and towels. (And it was more than we paid at a beach club on the Amalfi Coast!)

Would Not Stay There Again

Check In was chaotic, we were told our rooms were due to be ready at 3pm (it was 11.45) but they should be available well before then. At 15.15, and after asking 2-3 times I eventually got the keys. The Reception was manned by 2-3 women who kept disappearing and the occasional appearance by two lads who were just playing around all the time and acting like idiots. The rooms were OK, but the aircon was not very effective. Was told it was close to the city centre, is was 25-30 Euros away - not close at all. Fawlty Towers was more organised.

Great location an amazing olympic size swimming pool and free parking. Breakfast was included and had great selections. Nice size shopping mall and mercado 5 minute walk from the hotel. Unfortunately taxi rides are very expensive to go to Old Town which is about 5 km away. There is a bus that takes you there but not on weekends or holidays.

It’s an older hotel that they are remodeling.. but it’s a poor remodel. Our biggest complaint was the that we reserved 3 rooms, only 2 rooms had working air conditioning. We spoke to the hotel multiple times to try to get it fixed, no success.. just promises of it getting fixed and no results, no follow up. When we checked out I mentioned that the rooms AC was still not resolved and they tried to say that the city has not permitted them to turn on the AC. Breakfast is good so that’s a nice perk. Didn’t stay for dinner as the ambiance is terrible bit finding a restaurant nearby is tough as it’s at least 25 min to the downtown by uber and a costly uber ride of $70-$100 Euro. Beds are very firm, but rooms are quite nicely redone with new showers and new furnishings including a laminate floor. I would not return.
