We chose Royal Hotel Carlton because of the Clarins Spa, which provides a lovely menu of treatments and an interesting discount of 20% on all Clarins products. Although we were surprised that access to the hotel's spa facilities are not free, the facilities are beautiful and include 3 different Turkish baths with various temperatures, as well as a sauna, a...

Spent a couple of nights at the Royal Carlton in March and overall had a nice stay. The hotel itself is clean, well-maintained and has a friendly, helpful staff. There is a huge lobby area with nice bar. The rooms are spacious enough (some with a balcony), clean and have comfortable beds. Location is good and within a 5 minute... More

I stayed here with my Husband last Summer whilst he was visiting Bologna for business. First impressions of the hotel were very good. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful as were the bar staff. I didn't feel that the reception staff were 'snobish' as previous visitor found and were very patient with my apallingly limited Italian :) Our room... More

This hotel was booked for me by a company I was visiting. There are a couple of the Monrif Hotels in Bologna (Hotel Internazionale is also a Monrif Hotel).

The hotel is a four star hotel with a good location for walking to the main street of Bologna. We could walk from the hotel to the shopping street (Inependency Street) where many stores and tourist sites are located. The breakfast was good and had a nice assortment. Front staff is abit snobish.

Good slightly old fashioned hotel with excellent standards and comforts. Location is very convenient both for the railway station and central Bologna - almost everything can be done on foot. We ended up with an upgrade but twin beds - which was fine. 2 negatives the wifi is expensive and the restaurant overpriced

A great location and decor. Easy walking distance from the Via indipendenza and the major piazze. A really good feature for English speakers is the TV system where for most of the US programmes, you can press "i" on the sky remote then select original language. I've not seen this feature before. Restaurant exceptional but very rich food in opulent... More

Just slightly off the beaten track, this is a nice quiet hotel with old fashioned standards. All the staff were polite and helpful and you had everything you needed. Our room was a twin room where both beds were a decent size and comfortable. The room was large and airy with armchairs, desk and large tv. We had a large... More

Stayed here for 10 days for a business trip, located within Bologna city centre, waking distance to the main square (5-10minutes) Large rooms and very clean Good breakfast every morning would recommend
