Top Historic Center Hotel Reviews

Starhotels Excelsior

8/10 Good

"This is a lovely hotel, very clean, nicely decorated. My only negative point is that the hotel was hosting a corporate event in the bar one afternoon, we were made to feel we couldn’t use the bar area and were made to feel very unwelcome at that point. We did get service but not without feeling awkward. Other than that the staff were helpful and the room great."

Almarossa

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay here in Bologna. It was a little hard to find but the directions bring you straight there, it’s just a door with the name on it no big sign or anything. The room was amazing and the shower was even better! We had 3 rooms and each was great! The staff was super helpful as well and made check in easy. We would definitely stay here again!"

Hotel Porta San Mamolo

8/10 Good

"The hotel is situated about 10 minutes from the centre of Bologna. It’s an easy walk and means you are in a much quieter area. We stayed in the Residence building which isn’t part of the main hotel building. The room was nice and big, plenty of space, the bathroom was small but adequate. If you are a bigger person or you struggle with movement, you would definitely struggle with the limited space. The shower was small and the shower tray filled up very quickly, although it didn’t leak out as we were quick. I would also add that the walls and ceiling are paper thin! You can hear everything. I really struggled to sleep so I would recommend ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. We were on the first floor and we could hear the front door opening and closing, people talking all the way up the stairs, their doors closing, people moving around in their rooms, the bathroom noise, you really can hear everything!! The breakfast was fine, nothing particularly special but perfectly adequate. The surroundings are beautiful. The courtyard is lovely and on a nice day, you can have your breakfast outside. I probably wouldn’t stay here again but it is in a good location and it’s extremely clean with very nice staff."

UNA Hotels Bologna Centro

6/10 Okay

"The staff was wonderful and the bar tenders were incredible. The hotel need to be updated for sure. Good value. A little too close to the train station. The room cleaners could not communicate and never gave me the coffee and menu bar refills as requested. I stayed there for 5 nights and it was easy to get around from here to the whole region If you like orange this is your place"

Hotel Palace Bologna Centro

6/10 Okay

"A very central hotel but unfortunately not great. As mentioned in other reviews, it’s very tired, the bathrooms are terrible and the shower doesn’t stay up, the bathroom light stopped working, the curtain fell off the window and you could hear the cinema next door. It was cheap for the location but not sure it was worth the price"
