I payed for my stay in cash but my credit card has been charged anyway. Considering this was a week ago already and this issue hasn't been solved, I am starting to think something is wrong.

Mario

My experience was quite underwhelming. While the location is convenient—just a short walk from the central station—and most staff were courteous and helpful, the overall stay left much to be desired. My room was on the first floor facing the main road, and traffic noise was a constant issue, even at night. The windows did little to block the sound, making it hard to get a good night’s sleep. Breakfast was particularly disappointing. The quality felt more suited to a children’s party than a hotel: the scrambled eggs were solid and dry, the sausages resembled something straight from a cocktail tin, and the loud, repetitive music only added to the chaotic atmosphere. It was neither relaxing nor enjoyable. Dining at the hotel in general was not a good experience. The menu was minimal, and the food resembled what you’d find at a fast-food outlet rather than a hotel restaurant. Adding to the discomfort, the air conditioning throughout the building was weak, making the reception and restaurant areas unpleasantly warm, especially during a hot day. One of the most off-putting moments occurred during dinner: while guests were still eating, a waiter began sweeping the floor, and then, shockingly, used the same broom to sweep the chairs. This level of hygiene is unacceptable and truly surprising in a hotel setting, especially a four star Hotel In summary, while I appreciated the location and the professionalism of most of the staff, the noise levels, poor food quality, lack of comfort, and concerning cleanliness practices made this a stay I would not repeat. With some improvements, this hotel could have potential, but as it stands, I would not recommend it

What a find! This hotel was very good value, so much so that we worried that it was too good to be true. We arrived there and it was by far the nicest hotel we'd stayed in over our 10 day trip to Northern Italy - many of these other hotels had cost three times the price! Our room was in the annex and so we suspect these might be the better rooms, but not sure as we didn't see the others. It was lovely! Tasteful, fresh and clean. Very well equipped. Everything taken care of. The hotel is located at the edge of Bologna but the 25 bus is very regular and reliable - just a 2 minute walk away. Breakfast was very well organised and had plenty of choice. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Show less

The accommodation is in a nice area, close to the central railway station (5 min walk), central bus station (7 min walk) and to the city center (14-20 min walk). There is also a nice cafe near the building. The room is very big and clean. The host was very helpful and polite. It was easy to find the keys.

FAQs about hotels in Bologna

A Gourmet Delight

World-class cuisine is what Bologna does best. Nowhere in Italy, a country with considerable culinary heritage, is the food considered better than in this medieval gem.

Bolognese sauce of course originated here, but to try the real thing look out for ragú on the menu. Cold meats and cheeses are also exquisite. Make sure you save plenty of time for eating – the Bolognese like to savour their food, so a meal can last for hours.

Many of the best eateries and homemade ice cream shops can be found behind the mile upon mile of porticoed streets, now UNESCO World Heritage listed. The complex of medieval churches and buildings in cobbled Piazza Santo Stefano is a tranquil spot to explore. Climb one of the Two Towers nearby (not the one leaning at a startling angle) for spectacular views over this red-roofed city.

The focal point of Bologna is huge Piazza Maggiore, whose Santo Petronio church has an unimpressive, half-finished façade that doesn’t prepare you for its sheer scale inside. Fanning out from this square are the buildings of Europe’s oldest university, founded in 1088 and home to the city’s best museums.

Bologna accommodation on Booking.com ranges from small B&Bs to luxury hotels, all easily accessible from Bologna Airport just outside the city.

    Everything was of course about pasta but not much else i.e seafood or meat which was a disappointment. There was a lot of construction going on but it will only make it a better place to visit. You cannot fault the train system in Italy. The best!

    Bologna is BELLISSIMA. Wonderful architecture, history, art, food and a great atmosphere, especially as I was fortunate enough to be there during the Festival of the Porticos. It was the start of June. I imagine that it must be extremely crowded during July and August!

    The old centre of Bologna has much to see and do. Very old buildings, a large number of cafes, bars and restaurants. The porticos provide shelter from the weather so you can walk almost every where. We tried to eat and drink away from Piazza Maggiore where it was less crowded. Bologna also provides easy rail access to surrounding towns like Ferrara, Modena and Parma. We spent a week here and loved it.

    Wonderful atmosphere, the streets alive with students, not tourists. Plenty of fine monuments within easy walking distance of the centre. Shops, cafes and restaurants outstanding. 2/3 days enough for a short visit, otherwise stay two months or more to absorb the culture of Italy.

    Bologna is a city that you must visit at least once in your life. Stroll around, with no map, no plan. Just wander around and discover gems, hidden symbols, museums, street food spots, and medieval architecture. Bologna is extremely photogenic and a true beauty because is a city dedicated to its people. Take your time, and Bologna will stay in your heart forever.

    It’s worth the money for short stays. It is a modern, funky 3 star hotel part of the UNA group. Very well located for travellers across from Bologna Centrale. Young, helpful staff with good English. Room was large and very quiet with fresh air as one could leave the window open. The breakfast was adequate and the staff were responsive if there was anything not working or needing to be addressed. The staff was also helpful in providing suggestions and any other information you may require.

    We arrived during floodings in Emilio-Romagna region but the host met us outside with an umbrella. The house was magnificant, renovated art deco building from the 1930s. The room was TOP-Notch. Host helped us plan our Italy stay and warned us about flooded roads which was very helpfull. The bus stopped right outside and took you for 1 euro to central Bologna. Breakfast was nice and familier. Highly recommend. We will stay here next time we visit Bologna for sure.

Clean and large rooms. For a nice dinner or glass of wine very close to the hotel we had the restaurant InCantina just 100 m away recommended by the hotel. Highly recommended. Very close to almost all sights in Bologna
