FAQs about hotels in Bologna
On average, 3-star hotels in Bologna cost BGN 309 per night, and 4-star hotels in Bologna are BGN 372 per night. If you're looking for something really special, a 5-star hotel in Bologna can be found for BGN 1,658 per night, on average (based on Booking.com prices).
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 steeped in history. I recommend doing a guided walking tour and the San Luca express to the Basilica. The shopping was also pretty good. Bologna is also a sports city with Imola about half-hour away from Bologna (Emilia Romagna Formula One). The soccer stadium is also fairly close to the historic city centre. Bologna is a gastronomic delight - fresh Parmigiano Reggiano, aged to perfection. Fresh pasta, handmade. And the gelato!

Bologna has a wonderful combination of architecture both old and new. We enjoyed the pace as compared to Rome and Florence. The people were welcoming, helpful, and lovely. We had secured and loved our cooking experience. What we did not enjoy was trying to secure a taxi when needed. We found the service unacceptable.

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.

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.
Large sized room with lovely big windows, air conditioning worked beautifully. The breakfast had a selection of croissants, pastries, tarts and everything else. The staff were friendly and spoke enough English to get by. The price is a little more than average for a B&B but you definitely get what you pay for and feel rather pampered. The walk into central Bologna was not far. I would also recommend the Pizza shop, diagonally opposite the coop and on the same road, which does fantastic food at the cheapest prices I've seen in Italy.
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
We really enjoyed our time here. Close to the airport, close to the centre and also the train station. Staff were all friendly and the reception desk was very helpful. Breakfast was very good with a wide range of offerings. Room was very spacious with good air conditioning. The restaurant is very good, we normally avoid eating in hotels but we ended up having dinner twice here. I stayed in another hotel in Bologna closer to the station and it was very old and tired inside, not the case here.
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!
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.
This is a beautifully decorated small hotel quite close to the centre of Bologna. Everything was walkable and the area felt safe at night. Breakfast in the garden was a lovely start to each day with plenty of selection. All the staff were knowledgeable, polite and friendly, going the extra mile to keep all guests happy even though it was a full hotel and peak season. Beds were comfy and shower was good. Definitely on my recommend in Bologna list.
Great location, right in the heart of Bologna and close to everything you will want to see. The hotel is an older hotel - we found it charming - with an old elevator and great architecture. The room was huge with a nice table and chairs to eat breakfast, included in the cost, in the room each day. Staff was very nice and accommodated an early check in so we could settle in before a meeting we had in the afternoon.
Very spacious room, all was perfectly clean and tidy. The staff was very welcoming and nice. The hotel is situated in a very nice garden so the views from the rooms are very nice. The hotel is close to the airport but the area is not noisy. A big advantage is that it is very close to suitable public transport connections and within 20 minutes ride you can be in the perfect city center or to the Bologna Fair.
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.
Close to Bologna Centrale (5 minute walk) and easily walkable to the town centre (10 minutes). We booked a Deluxe room which was huge and had a balcony. The hotel is enormous and obviously designed for conferences but is perfectly good for a leisure stay.
Breakfast was fine but is on an industrial scale!
The restaurant was OK but quite limited choice.
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 apartment was really good and spacious and the breakfast was very good too and in the same building. It was a 10 minute walk from Lazzaretto monorail stop and was just one stop away from both Bologna Centrale and Marconi Airport. Riccardo (the owner) was a star and made sure our stay was as comfortable as ever!
This hotel was more than I expected.
It is located close to the train station Bologna Central, and 15-20 minutes walk to the city center.
The room was clean, bed very comfortable.
Very easy check in and check out, everything can be handled online through WhatsApp.
Nice, friendly and helpfull staff.
Recently renovated, very nice hotel in the convenient location.
10-15 mins walk to the old town of Bologna and train station.
Personel friendly and helpful, can leave bags before or after check-in.
Very clean and nicely decoreated bathroom that is not so common in Italy.
Comfortable beds.
The location in the center of Bologna within walking distance of the main attractions was real treat. The rooftop terrace has a lovely view of the towers, so you feel you are in the heart of it all. The Hotel room was good and very clean. The hot shower was excellent.
Good location near Bologna's central train station. Also an easy walking distance from the city centre.
The buffet breakfast was varied and very good with both sweet and savory food.
The hotel had a nice quaint feel wich was rather nice.
A spacious comfortable studio room with refined modern decor in the edge of the central part of Bologna and very close to the train station and links to anywhere in Italy and Marconi Express for airport.
