Amazing hotel! It looks like the picturies. The staff are very professional. It was my birthday week and they did a free upgrade to our room as a compliment - I didn't as for. That fact makes me feel very special!

Savoia regency in simply put- one of the best hotels I have ever been to. I have been a hotel tester and traveler for years and that means I have seen my fare share of accommodations (all the ups and downs)- and upon arriving everything just clicked. My dog enjoyed the lawn in front, my family enjoyed cleanness and abundance of the breakfast. Staff is more than friendly and restaurant adjunct is simply put- amazing. It is practically in the park, a breath away from Bologna and it acts as a sanctuary as you visit this beautiful and vibrant city.

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.
We took a local train to visit the Marconi Museum.
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 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.

Everything is great about Bologna especially if you're a young person. Great food, not very expensive and mostly positive and friendly people. A lot of students in Giuseppe Verdi Plaza was great to see. There's plenty of cheap food that is high quality but even the high end restaurants are not very expensive. Nice architecture and everything is close together (train station, city center etc). I loved Bologna there's nothing not to like about it!
The room was lovely and spacious, as well as very clean. We had our own private bathroom down the corridor which was huge. There was a lovely selection of teas, coffees, water in the fridge and snacks in the room when we arrived and lots of storage space. The host was absolutely lovely, met us at the apartment, booked our taxi to the airport, sent us her top tips for where to go in Bologna as well as restaurant recommendations and a map of the city centre - such a great night's stay here!
I loved the full service! Taxi collection from the airport, the location of the property being right in the heart of Bologna, entrance to the flat via special key code, the awesomeness of the accommodation and communication with the host. Property was beautiful, spotlessly clean and it had everything one can wish for in a 5* hotel. Seriously, I was so happy I have booked this property and once I return, I sure will come back here. Simply wow!!!! And big thanks goes to its owner!!
This was my second stay at this excellent hotel. Faultless. Very comfortable room and modern well-appointed en suite shower room. Reception staff are wonderful, helpful and professional. The hotel is in a great location in central Bologna, with Piazza del Nettuno and the historic centre, shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. I parked at the nearby Parcheggio Piazza VIII Agosto which was easy. Breakfast was excellent with different options available.
Great location in central Bologna. This hotel is steps from Via Ugo Bassi and a 5-minute walk to Piazza Maggiore, perfect for anyone who wants a lower budget location for the heart of Bologna. There is a comfortable lounge for relaxing, if the rooms are too small to relax. They have rooms for single travelers, with smaller beds.
There is an elevator, which is a good thing, since there are 5 floors. They have a large luggage storage room, as well.
The location was ideal for seeing the sites and tasting the "eats" of Bologna, a short walk from the Piazza Maggione as well as Bologna Centrale train station, and the central market for fresh food. As a solo female traveler, I also felt that the location was secure and safe. There was always someone present at the front desk during my comings and goings. There was also a lock code on the front door of the hotel for entry after 11 pm.
Great location, walking distance to Bologna Centrale where you can catch the air train and be at the airport for literally 7 min :), or catch a train to wherever you would like to go in Italy.
A lot of nice cafés and restaurants just around the corner.
The apartment was very clean, warm, cozy and comfortable. The office is next door and you could leave your baggage there before check-in or after check-out.
Perla is actually an "albergo". This means that if you expect the amenities of a hotel you will be disappointed. It is in an old house in the historical centre of Bologna. The rooms however were clean as was the bathroom. A stained bed-cover was changed immediately. The windows are noise-proof. The personnel was very friendly and helpful. It is located very near to all the sights of Bologna.
Friendly staff at Hotel Centrale Bologna! Helpful staff who made sure we knew how to get in and out of the hotel after midnight if needed. The hotel breakfast is pretty good, there are lots of delicious pastries and a pretty good selection of cold cuts, plus a hot dish. Room was clean and the fan came in handy. And the location is perfect for stepping out into Bologna.
Amazing stay at this hotel. Very clean and well maintained. Hotel grounds are beautifully landscaped. Easy parking. Only 15mins from the airport. Bus 90 (bus stop 5 mins by foot) takes you into central Bologna within 20mins. Perfect for a city break. Breakfast was good and staff were very polite. We all loved the pool. Much needed in the high temperatures!
Wonderful large apartment nicely finished and decorated. Very well located to visit all around center of Bologna. Decent access to bus to get to and from the central train station (and airport). A bit of local roadworks made this a bit more complicated. However, would highly recommend this apartment if you are visiting Bologna. Would stay here again.
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.
Fantastic large room with excellent facilities, clean and comfortable. The hotel is only a 10 minute walk to the central train station and very close to the heart of Bologna, lots of lovely cafes nearby. The staff were all so friendly and helpful.
It was also lovely to have doors open onto a balcony!
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.
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.
We enjoyed the situation of the hotel , near railway station, cafe’s and walkable to Centre and MAMbo Art Gallery. The breakfast was exceptional, the best we have had in Italy. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. We would stay at this Hotel again.
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.
Small, cosy hotel very close to the airport. Large room, comfortable large bed. Good breakfast and excellent coffee. Friendly staff with very good English. The bus very close to the hotel will take you straight to Bologna city centre.
Traditional, smart, lovely staff, delicious breakfasts. It certainly was a 4 star hotel.
Its location was marvellous, just about 10 minutes from Bologna Centrale station and less than that to the central area of Pizza Maggiore.
The location is as good as it gets for a base inm North central Italy. The train connections are just out the door and it is still only a 20 minute walk to the heart of Bologna.
the hotel is situated in a very quiet neighborhood, not too far from the city center, not too far from Bologna Centrale train station, near to public transport means.
