Top San Donato Hotel Reviews

Royal Hotel Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"Great Hotel. Big room, comfortable bed."

Living Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great base for a weekend break in Italy. I was a little worried after realising it wasn't in the city centre but we had a hire car so it wasn't an issue. We also got a taxi to Bologna and back on an evening, which was around €27 each way. There were also some lovely pizza restaurants that we visited in nearby Catenaso. The room was a decent size and we had a pool view. It was clean and housekeeping came in daily to make the beds and quick tidy. The breakfast buffet had a lot of variety including vegan and GF. The pool was great, there was a charge for sunbeds but plenty of other seating that was free near to the bar if you don't want to pay. Staff were friendly. It was a nice hotel in a good location."

Art Hotel Commercianti

8/10 Good

"The Art Hotel was very nice, and lived up to its name, with beautiful pieces of art attractively displayed throughout. I would give in 4.5, and not a 5, only because the brewed coffee in the dining room was terrible, and things that should have been hot, were not. That included the scrambled eggs, bacon, side vegetables, and aforementioned coffee and hot water. It was like the food warmers and hot pots were not ever turned on. We were there 4 nights, and it was the same each morning. Other than that, food was excellent, and location couldn't be beat."
