Hotel Internazionale

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent service, spacious rooms and bathrooms. Very clean and well maintained. Staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!"

Art Hotel Orologio

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spotless, with a beautiful view of a small plaza and a partial view of Piazza Maggiore. We stayed for one night only, but would definitely come back! Room was charming and perfect in size for two people. It even had a little sitting/dining area. Sheets were crisp, mattress and pillows comfy. An ample breakfast in a beautiful historic room. Polite staff. Overall a great experience from the get go! "

Hotel Roma

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and functional. The breakfast was really good, and varied each day with added options. There were two separate rooms with many options, and free espresso and cappuccino as well! The restaurant is good for a quick bite with a nice discount. Every staff member was beyond helpful. They were able to coordinate a taxi to the airport for us, which made it so much easier. The location is absolutely perfect. Walk right out into the best of old town Bologna! I hope to come again with my family!"

Art Hotel Commercianti

10/10 Excellent

"We loved everything about this place. The room was well designed with antiques and unique furnishings of a bygone era. It’s a historic building with character keeping its tradition of a commercial center, hence its name. It’s charming and lovely. Staff is exceptionally helpful. The breakfast is wonderful. It’s hard to stay away from its biscottis. "

I Portici Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a very good choice. First, the location: about 500 meters from Bologna Centrale and about 1.5 KM to Piazza Maggiore. Thus, quite walkable for a fit individual. The room was well appointed: fridge, coffee maker. There are three dining options on site (including a Michelin-starred restauarant). While I did not take advantage of these because I was out and about, it was good to know they are there."
