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.
Bologna is walkable and historically important. Start at the city's tourist information center in Piazza Maggiore for a great map.
Moreover, it is a foodie-haven--all kinds of places to eat--from food courts to all sorts of restaurants.

Only there for 2 nights.
Only there for 2 nights. Had excursion booked so didn’t get to see much of Bologna but we ate out one evening and had a very nice meal. The people are very friendly and the food and wine are fantastic.

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...
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.

Lovely walking there. Great architecture.
Lovely walking there. Great architecture. Many km of mostly pretty porticoes. Lovely squares. Good galleries and museums. Good food from market stalls and restaurants. Easy to visit nearby towns by train. We will be back.
This is a beautiful hotel in every way. The rooms are classical and comfortable and have everything you need. Each room has a it’s own decor theme. The breakfast is outstanding and one of the best I’ve had in Italy. The original art and sculpture all around the hotel is fascinating. The oil paintings in the breakfast room are so good they look like photographs. I would’ve bought one if I could afford it! Staff are professional, courteous and helpful. I will stay here again. It is also very central and convenient to all the sight.
Location wise it’s ok about 15 mins to city centre, 25 mins to Bologna Centrale. The studio room is quite small but everything you need is there. I cooked eggs for breakfast and I love the coffee machine! There were also some snacks on the fridge and on the cupboard. It’s actually my first holiday using an apartment as I prefer to stay in a hotel, but when I was looking for a place to stay at that time, there were only 5 hotels available and majority are bed and breakfast/studio type so I decided to give it a try
The Zanhotel Europa is a beautiful "old-world" hotel that is tucked in a quiet and safe neighborhood. The train station was a 10-15 min walk, which was great for us, as we traveled from Bologna to Venice and Pisa while we stayed at the hotel.
The hotel breakfast buffet was exceptional! Definitely worth purchasing that option.
The staff was friendly, courteous and helpful and seemed to appreciate our being there.
Hotel was a short walk away from the main part of Bologna's shops and restaurants.
Room was very spacious, bright, and quiet. The hotel is a bit further out of the main city centre of Bologna but we didn't mind this as it was just a 30min bus ride to the airport with the bus stop 500m or so from the property (and this was our priority). The hotel was also easy to reach with a short bus ride from the city centre or from Bologna Centrale station. Staff was incredibly polite and helpful when we asked them some questions about how to get to the airport as well as advice on Bologna.
The room and the bathroom are reasonably big -very clean and tidy also .Has good AC & many charging outlets.Breakfast was good . It has big parking area just opposite the hotel and cost 5 euros a day. Location is great if you like walking for more than a kilometre to the shopping centres and to Piazza Maggiore. Bus stops to the centre is nearby but as foreigners,it took us a day or two to get the hang of it .Overall,it was a great holiday .Bologna is an amazing city!Full of surprises!
Great hotel for young travellers, for all with young spirit. You can meet students from around world there, hang out in bar, workout in gym, pool is great for relaxing on hot summer days. Stuff is friendly and speaks good English. Distance from airport train Marconi Express is very good, it is on 5 mins from hotel, as well as Bologna Central Railway station which is good if you visit by train another cities. Distance from centre is ok, if you like walking it is not big deal, 15min...
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.
The hotel was less than 5 minutes walk from Bologna Centrale railway station, about 10 minutes walk to the city center and about 10 min with taxi to the airport (*early morning hours with no traffic). The rooms were clean and quiet. The staff was very nice and friendly. Perfect for a one night stay or maybe more. There was a working table, so it may be suitable for business trips as well.
This hotel is located in the heart of Bologna, easy walking distance from attractions, restaurants, bars, and shopping. The hotel room was very comfortable and quiet with a large bathroom and balcony and an amazing view of the city. We drove a car and the staff assisted us with directions to the hotel, private parking on site, and assistance with navigating the streets to leave the city.
Perfect location close to city centre- 5 minutes walk to best places of Bologna. I liked opening the door by code- it was really easy. Our host was very kind and even gave us tips where to eat and how to get cheaper to airport (use taxi for 2 and more instead of Marconi express). Apartment was clean with shower gel and basic dishes.
Location near bus station, good connection with bus No25, 15 minute ride to central station, clean rooms with good heating and good sound insulation, excellent breakfast with a lot of choices, you can leave your baggage after checkout and enjoy Bologna before our night flight, great job from Hotel personal and management 🙂😃🙂
Location was good, close to the train station (8min walk) and there’s a train directly to the airport that’s less than 10 mins.
Apartment was spacious, clean and good value for money. It was about 15 mins walk to Bologna main square. There was a nice restaurant across from the hotel with good pizza and pasta.
The hotel is located very close to the central part of Bologna. The hotel staff are very attentive and responsive. The hotel is simple at first look, but the room has everything you need for a few unforgettable days in Bologna. The room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was perfect.
Hotel Touring is a quaint boutique hotel, but do not judge it from the exterior. We loved the decor, the breakfast (included) and especially the staff! The location was perfect for exploring Bologna, as it was only a ten minute walk to the city centre. Would definitely recommend!
The location is great. 10-15 minutes by foot to Bologna central station and maybe 5 minutes to reach the inner city.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The reception is manned until 12pm but there is a code so you can enter the hotel at anytime during the night.
the hotel was amazing! in the centre of Bologna ! it was warm and clean and nicely decorated! the receptionist were very helpful with my transfer to the airport ! I even did check in one hour earlier! I will definitely recommend this hotel for your stay in Bologna
This is a beautiful historic hotel, located in the heart of Piazza Maggiore, closest to Saint Petronius basilica, and all the good bistros of Bologna. The staff is very friendly and the hotel serve a varied breakfast including a perfect Cappuccino.
Convenient to the airport. Helpful advice from staff to get into Bologna centre; they ordered us a taxi (17 euros).
Best way to get to the hotel from the airport is to get a taxi AT the airport (12 euros), rather than their airport shuttle.
Very decent upscale hotel, walking distance to Bologna Centrale with easy access to airport train. Very clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast buffet.
