Top Basilica of St. Francis Hotel Reviews

Art Hotel Commercianti

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would definitely rebook. The location is centrally situated on a quiet street, and the breakfast display is excellent."

The Social Hub Bologna

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel! Extremely comfortable with great bath products. The location close to the train station was ideal for our day trip plans. We also loved the patio by the pool for an evening drink."

Ostello Bello Bologna

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was super helpful"

Starhotels Excelsior

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived in Bologna by train for a 2-night stay and the Starhotels Excelsior was a great place to land. The hotel is directly across the street from the train station and within a 20 minute walk to the center of town, which made it ideal for our needs. The front desk staff were helpful and efficient, and the room was spacious - you could walk around without tripping over suitcases - with a comfortable bed. Also, it was very quiet inside the room - any noise from the street below did not reach inside our room. The hotel was a basic place to stay for a couple of nights and met our needs perfectly."

Nettuno Boutique Stay

8/10 Good

"The room is very modern, clean and close to the city centre. Being a solo traveller it would have been peace of mind having a lock on the inside of the door and a key (it is electronic) But there were no issues while staying and I felt safe. Also the sensor lights in the room are annoying! They turn off if you dont move for a few minutes. Other than that I highly recommend the stay. It was one of the best accommodations I have stayed in with little luxury touches."

Hotel Palace Bologna Centro

8/10 Good

"The location was great only 5 min walk from Piazza Maggiore, and lots of amenities nearby. Staff were helpful. My room was clean, but the carpets in the main common areas look like they are the same age as the building. That would be my only criticism. Otherwise, for the price it was a pretty basic hotel that did the job."

Hotel Metropolitan

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, great location, good sized rooms. Modern hotel & very clean. Staff are extremely friendly & helpful. Good breakfast selection & excellent service at breakfast. Would stay again."

Hotel San Felice

10/10 Excellent

"Very good location and also very affordable. The staff were courteous and helpful."

Mitodea - Residenza d' epoca

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, safe and friendly staff, great location close to restaurants and shops."
