"Great location, clean and comfortable. Close to everything, but really felt like we were in a neighborhood where people live and go to school, which made it feel special. The key situation was a little cumbersome since our cell service was spotty and after being out all day we were frequently worried our phones would die before we got back to the property to open the door. It was hard to get a taxi from the neighborhood to the airport at 4 a.m. when we had to leave--not sure if this was because...

Top Santo Stefano Hotel Reviews

Zanhotel Tre Vecchi

6/10 Okay

"The room was clean and fine for the price however there was no ventilation- we were a bit warm after traveling all day and there was no air conditioning, or even a fan. The staff said it was turned off for the winter (it was April), so we had to sleep with the windows open and our room was on the street- with people going to the train station nearby all night, it was really loud and hard to sleep."

Smy Bologna Centrale

6/10 Okay

"Hotel was well located and near the central station, it is on a busy road, which means you can hear all the traffic at all hours. The Air conditioning wasn't working (apparently cant use it until 30/04/2026), but the heating does. It was 29c in our room so it was really unpleasant. Room was clean and decent size. "

Touring Hotel

8/10 Good

"A chest of drawers would be more convenient to store your essentials. And we think the soap and shower gel really dry your skin though it says Argan. The soap in hotel’s lobby toilet is of different brand and had no issue with that. Otherwise location is perfect, just a few streets away from busy centre. Staff very welcoming and helpful. If ever come back to Bologna, will happily choose Touring Hotel again "
