There was a restaurant downstairs with amazing food and gelato within a 50ft walk. We were close to the Piazza for our tour. Also close to the busses that took us to the train station and all around town.

Top Bologna Hotel Reviews

Royal Hotel Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. Good hotel in good location. Junior Suite very nice, everything clean and well maintained. Would happily return."

Elizabeth Lifestyle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, safe parking, very good breakfast"

Hotel Metropolitan

8/10 Good

"I had a good stay. What I loved about the hotel is the brilliant design. Although the hotel is located right in heart of town, actual rooms are more interior and towards the back away from Main Street. In addition on the back, the immediate outward area is the bathroom and shower. As result main sleeping area is in middle and extremely quiet. Further window shutters are very high quality metal plates which make the room very dark as night sky. So you will have ultimate comfort for your sleep. Staff also were very kind and eager to help anyways they could. One downside issue was the breakfast area, it is extremely small and cramped and people often run to each other. They have an outdoor area behind breakfast room which is open space, I recommend them to cover it and then remove the sliding glass doors to make it one giant breakfast area. Otherwise you would love staying there, it is very centrally located with so many shops around and near all attractions."

Hotel Palace Bologna Centro

8/10 Good

"The hotel was clearly a palazzo, retaining some grand and elegant reception rooms in which to sit. The staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfast was good and varied (juice, hot drinks, fruit, cereal, bacon, eggs, meats, cheese and varied pastries). I chose a very well priced en-suite Basic single room for 1 night. It was quiet, clean, well furnished with a comfortable bed, crisp clean sheets and towels. Whilst that level of room is not luxurious, you could stay in that room for a couple of nights or more at a very good rate."
