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.

    Bologna belongs to the most beautiful and friendly cities in the world. One of its biggest advantages is food – there is absolutely no risk that you will be disappointed, no matter which trattoria, pizzeria, osteria or gelateria you will choose. Everywhere the quality of the food is vey high. There are also splendid views and great, unique atmosphere. The Old Town is really worth seeing, you can walk there many times and you won't be bored.

    The city is very walkable with a lot to see. We only visited very few sights on our short stay. The food is incredible and the architecture is magnificent around the whole city. The portico's are amazing and it was really easy to walk everywhere. There are various areas to eat in that are a short walk from Piazza Maggiore and the energy the city had made us enjoy it even more. It was bustling and everyone was so nice and genuine.

    Bologna is a beautiful city, full of history, museums and lovely shops and places to eat and drink. We walked for miles and miles along the porticos which the city is famous for. There are many places you can visit from the city by coach or train. We had day trips by coach to Florence, and train journeys to Ravenna, Ferrara and Modena. Venice and Verona are further but still within reach for a day trip. We had a winter 14 day break, we enjoyed exploring at our own pace, eating fresh food at the apartment and eating out at other times.

    Although we stayed 3 nights which was perfect, we could have easily stayed longer as it was the most magical place to meander the streets and immerse yourself in it's wonderful food and culture. This is a MUST destination and a visit to the top of the tower in the square is well worth the climb (although it is very challenging climbing up the 100 year old ladder). It is an easy city to get around and the information center is incredibly helpful. The food is just amazing and if you so desire then cooking in your apartment is made easy by the abundance of fresh produce available at your doorstep. We as a family felt safe walking around at night. I cannot wait to return to this beautiful city that stole my heart.

    Excellent location, about 15 minutes from the train station (very easy to find) and about 10 minutes into the centre. The hotel was clean and quiet. There is a lift, plugs next to the bed and toiletries provided. There are vending machines for hot drinks & snacks. My room was basic - no TV, there was a fridge & hairdryer provided, 2 huge windows so it was nice and bright. The staff, particularly Antonella (I think this is her name!) are fantastic - friendly, welcoming, helpful. I would definitely stay here again if I was in Bologna.

    We only stayed one night before boarding our flight but it’s enough to make us desperate to go back. Bologna itself is a lovely city. Exactly what you picture when you think of Italy. The hotel itself is charming and architecturally interesting. And you couldn’t ask for a better location, right in the centre of the city, attractions a short walk away but down a quieter side street so you don’t hear any city noise. The staff were delightful, so accommodating. Great with our baby and so so helpful. Would love to have stayed longer

It has big parking area just opposite the hotel and cost 5 euros a day. Location is great if you like walking for more than a kilometre to the shopping centres and to Piazza Maggiore. Bus stops to the centre is nearby but as foreigners,it took us a day or two to get the hang of it .Overall,it was a great holiday .Bologna is an amazing city!Full of surprises!

    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.

    Nice modern hotel. Centrally located between train station and centre of Bologna where the action is. Easy walks to both. While the hotel looks very nice, it was quite noisy inside and could easily hear street traffic and neighbors through walls at times. The neighborhood that the hotel is in is quiet and more residential/commercial - so limited dining etc in the evening. Hotel is kitty corner to a super market which was awesome to grab waters/snacks for cheap.

    Just had 1 night here, but was happy with the stay. The room was large and spacious and the breakfast spread was varied, especially for Italian standards. There was an extra charge for fried eggs/bacon etc, however there were plenty of other great foods to enjoy that you don't feel like you needed them. Lots of restaurants in walking distance and took a bicycle to get into the centre of Bologna which was a great way to explore. Good parking in the hotel.

    Riccardo couldn’t have been friendlier and more helpful during our stay. The B&B and our room was modern and tastefully decorated. The bed was the most comfortable we had in two weeks travelling through Italy. The breakfast is more than generous and super tasty. Highly recommend. Tip for fellow travellers: you’re not in the heart of Bologna but it’s only a 10 min bus or 20 min walk to the centre.
