"Location is pretty great and we enjoyed walking into town almost everyday. The check in was a bit more complicated than it needed to be and getting actual information about the area did not meet with success. Parking information was also not given until late in the process and i had requested it earlier. I chose this place based on their 5 star rating and it just did not deserve that from our experience.

Top Bologna Hotel Reviews

Savhotel Aemilia Bologna

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, large room. Wonderful breakfast. Great gym. Close walking distance to the center of Bologna, but far enough away. Highly recommend!"

Starhotels Excelsior

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, safe, great location, excellent breakfast, well staffed, very spacious room. My only negative is don’t get fooled by the drink and appetizer deal they have posted all round, the food is just peanuts, chips, and parm cheese- it is not the yummy food they have pictured as you would assume- kind of a bait and switch. But the hotel itself was perfect and Bologna just might be my new fave Italian city, great location for visiting other towns. "

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! "
