"This space has all the charm and quirks that make a city visitor feel a funky, fun vibe! The location was superb for walking to the historic sites as well as the most iconic shopping and food. Fell in love with the exceptional circular staircase and all the skylights ~ just added to the historic charm of the exposed beams and kitchen with all the modern necessities with an old school feel. Bologna was a blast!"

"Sin dalla prenotazione ho avvertito che sarebbe stata un' ottima esperienza e cosi si è rivelata. Giorgio è una persona meravigliosa che ci accolto brillantemente e dato tutte le indicazioni per visitare Bologna oltre che a ristoranti e locali della città. L' appartamento è stato trovato in ottime condizioni e fornito di tutto il necessario. Sicuramente la prossima volta tornero a Bologna mi affidero ancora a Giorgio e la sua struttura."

"The studio is well located between the Piazza Maggiore and Bologna Central Station, making it a good location if you are traveling without a car. The kitchen is furnished with pots, dishes, silverware necessary for cooking, however more dish soap and a newer cleaning sponge would make cleaning up more certain. The washer and dryer were appreciated. Check in via online website was difficult, but Nicholas was wonderful in meeting us and giving us the keys."

Top Bologna Hotel Reviews

Royal Hotel Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff and breakfast "

UNA Hotels Bologna Centro

8/10 Good

"The location to the train station could not have been better, it's literally across the street! The staff was friendly, breakfast was good and the checkout time was generous. Beds were comfy but the pillows were lumpy and not very comfortable. The room was extremely hot and I was thankful that the windows worked, since the AC they advertised on Expedia did not work, nor did the phones to call reception about it. I believe there might be local laws preventing it, but I stayed in a much cheaper place the night before and didn't experience a lack of AC. Basically you have to choose between the blackout curtains or being a little more comfortable. The lack of AC was the only real issue. Everything else was nice."
