Travelers who stayed in Bologna near Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ) have said good things about Hotel EMI, Hotel Del Borgo, and Villa Aretusi.
World-class cuisine is what Bologna does best. Nowhere in Italy, a country with considerable culinary heritage, is the food considered to be better than in this medieval gem.
Bolognese sauce of course originated here, but to try the real thing look for "ragú" on the menu. Cold meats and cheeses are also exquisite. Make sure you save plenty of time for eating – the Bolognese like to savor their food, so a meal can last for hours.
Many of the best eateries and homemade ice cream shops are found behind the mile upon mile of porticoed streets, now UNESCO World Heritage sites. The complex of medieval churches and buildings in cobbled Piazza Santo Stefano is a tranquil spot to explore. Climb one of the Two Towers nearby (not the one leaning at a startling angle) for spectacular views of this red-roof city.
The focal point of Bologna is huge Piazza Maggiore, whose Santo Petronio church has an unimpressive, half-finished façade that doesn’t prepare you for its sheer scale inside. Fanning out from this square, the buildings of Europe’s oldest university, founded in 1088, are home to the city’s best museums.
Bologna accommodations at Booking.com range from small B&Bs to luxury hotels, all easily accessible from Bologna Airport just outside the city.
There is a lot ot see in Bologna. I particularly recommend the Madonna di San Luca Sanctuary which is perched on top of a hill and is reached by walking along a 3.7 Km portico. From the sanctuary you can enjoy views of the city and the surrounding countryside. A real gem.
From Bologna it is also possible to visit nearby old towns such as Modena, which is only a 35 minutes train ride away.

We took a local train to visit the Marconi Museum. Very small intimate museum right on the site where the first wireless message was sent. Nice to get out of town and see how regular everyday people live in Italy.

Our favorite place is Centro Commerciale Centronova and Trattoria La Montanara.
We ate great burgers in the restaurant and traditional Bolognese cuisine in the trattoria.
In Bologna we traveled by bus and car. Both options are NOT problematic. Of course the small streets are difficult, but it's not a problem. You just have to be aware of Italian driving, sometimes it's stupid and thoughtless.
I would recommend not going to the great basilica of San Petronio. The staff is terrible, they have stupid rules - for example take off your hat, and it's raining and cold outside!!! A huge basilica, but inside it is very dark and nothing can be seen. Almost all niches are closed and not illuminated. There was an uncle who wouldn't let you into the only open niche - it was for those praying!!!! And there is no one!!!! We have been to many places and cathedrals and basilicas, but nothing like this. The basilica itself remains unfinished. There are very few drawings, and nothing can be seen from the darkness. Pure waste of time. There are churches and cathedrals nearby - San Pietro Cathedral, it's very beautiful and everything can be photographed with flash.

Bologna is a great city escape for 3-4 days.
Bologna is a great city escape for 3-4 days. You can easily walk through the old streets of the town, which are full of architectural treasures. There are more than enough places to sample all the delicacies of Tuscany, such as cold cuts & cheeses, pasta dishes and of course a great aperitivo to end your day.

Bologna is a lovely city with many historic buildings and...
Bologna is a lovely city with many historic buildings and museums and dozens of fabulous restaurants. It's also a convenient centre to reach other interesting Italian cities by a short rail journey. This time we visited Ferrara and Faenza. Last visit we had a day in Modena and a few days in Ravenna. Neither Venezia nor Firenze are too far for a day trip. Maybe next time though there's still Parma and Verona on the bucket list.
Best location ever.....right in the center of Bologna's old town, close to restaurants, pharmacies, gelateria(s)(!), and tourist sites. Elevator was a blessing, bell service great, very friendly front desk (especially Martina). Good A/C. We didn't do breakfasts there, so can't comment. Beds very good, bathroom really good, good wi-fi. Met our expectations completely. Note: if you're driving to the hotel, be sure to ask for specific driving instructions as the city is so old, many streets are narrow and therefore one-way.
The location is great, and mostly quiet considering how city-centre it is. It is modern and contemporary, although doesn't rise to the level of luxury. In comparison to a lot of hotels and apartments in Italy, which remain dark and dated, it was refreshing to have something new and renovated. The common areas are beautiful. The auto-mated check-in was easy and the host was available on What's App, even getting us into the apartment a bit early so we could drop off our luggage.
Riccardo couldn’t have been friendlier and more helpful during our stay. The B&B and our room was modern and tastefully decorated. The bed was the most comfortable we had in two weeks travelling through Italy. The breakfast is more than generous and super tasty. Highly recommend.
Tip for fellow travellers: you’re not in the heart of Bologna but it’s only a 10 min bus or 20 min walk to the centre.
The location to the hotel from the train station (Bologna Centrale) was an easy 10-12 minute walk. Additionally, the walk to the center of town was also very convenient. The breakfast was decent (hard boiled eggs vs scrambled but at least there was protein), and it had all the other breakfast essentials. The room size was just fine and it was nice and dark at night.
A beautiful old apartment that has been subdivided into several hotel rooms. The shared kitchen/living room was stunning. The location was super central and our host was very friendly and met us at the door to explain everything and suggest where to go in Bologna. The room isn't huge but there is enough storage space, as well as a stunning high ceiling and tall window.
After so many years of traveling, this is the worst experience that we had. The only positive was the communication with the Wonderful Italy staff, it went flawless and the location that is just steps away from the Bologna Centrale and the Bologna city center. Paula, the agent was helpful, she even made it to meet us earlier than originally scheduled.
Wonderful stay. Hotel is in a great location in the historic center of Bologna. Hotel itself is in a very old building. Room was very comfortable and filled with historic materials. Staff was pleasant, very able and professional. We loved our visit to Bologna and Art Hotel Commercanti was an important part of that.
The small boutique hotel is located near the central station in Bologna ( 6 min walking from the central station) and is brilliantly clean. Absolutely recommend both for business trips and leisure travels. The personnel of the hotel is nice and welcoming. A great value for money. Enjoy your stay at hotel Marconi.
Hotel Bologna Airport offers very clean and well-organized rooms. The service is impeccable. The location is close to the airport but you still need a cab to reach it. There are a bar and a restaurant but the latter is perhaps a bit overpriced. The shuttle bus is not free but a very good service too.
The room was spacious and very clean. It also had a fridge which was a bonus! As it is not in the centre of Bologna, it was very quiet so I would recommend this hotel and would come back here if I were to stay in Bologna again. The breakfast was excellent as it had a wide variety of choice.
A hidden gem in the heart of the historic centre. Beautifully appointed elegant hotel yet with all modern amenities. Helpful friendly staff. Everything within walking distance. Superb location. Loved the rooms looking on to the street - open the windows to the hustle and bustle of Italy!
The room and bed were very comfortable indeed and the breakfast buffet worth the fairly hefty price tag, although it did get busy at times. The hotel is a stone's throw from Bologna Centrale station and super convenient. It was about a 10-minute walk into the city centre proper.
loves how beautiful and centrally
located this building it! walkable to all of the old quarter in bologna with friendly and helpful staff. the rooms and the building are really the showstopper. there is parking available, but be sure to reserve through the hotel with your stay.
Very comfortable room, located within easy walking distance of the train station and 15 mins to the heart (the Towers) on Bologna City centre. The hotel, the City, a great experience. We stayed 4 days and used hotel as a base visit other parts of the region. We will return.
Second time staying here. Still great. A charming hotel in the heart of Bologna. We stayed in the junior suite, which was excellent. Staff are very friendly and helped organise a private car for us to the airport during a taxi strike! Will definitely come back!
Quaint hotel right in the centre of Bologna . The room with 3 beds is spacious and the 2 bed occupancy is a bit tight but very comfortable and clean . The staff are very helpful and warm. It’s a great choice to be able to walk everywhere. Highly recommend it.
Location, bus outside every ten minutes to the city centre, nice and quiet when we returned from the hustle and bustle. Nice pool. Got a room upgrade which was great. Lovely hotel would definitely recommend and if we go back to bologna we would stay here 100%
Good place, 10 min walk from the train station Bologna Centrale, close to famous place of the city, near to local food restorants. Nice stuff. We asked latest check out and they gave us. We kindly recommend this hotel and appartments for family holiday.
The hotel was spotlessly clean, simple but very nice, very quiet and had great air conditioning. Great breakfast and very friendly staff, and on a back street near the edge of the central part of Bologna, very good location for walking everywhere.
