FAQs about hotels in Bologna









A Gourmet Delight

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 a fantastic city. The food was amazing.

    Bologna is a fantastic city. The food was amazing. The was plenty to see and do and the people were friendly. We walked several miles of the streets to seekout what was published and happen upon things we did no know of that were quite interesting. Bologna ideally located. We plan to return for an extended stay to act as a base point to visit other cities via rail. La Taverna Di Roberto is a fantastic place to eat. We returned there for our last night. Bologna City Walking tour was a great way to learn the city and history and determine what you wanted to go back to spend more time. Taxis are relatively inexpensiver compared to other cities in Italy and a great what to get to the airport or train. Avoid booking a Stay at a place called Home Sweet Luxury. It is not at all what it is advertised and horrible living conditions.

    A lovely and unique city with miles of covered walkways which were both practical (keeping you dry and cool) and architecturally interesting. The city is very walkable with lots of interesting buildings, good restaurants and cafes. It seemed much less touristy than Rome or Florence. You get a sense of being amongst locals going about their day to day business. Giardini Margherita is beautiful and worth a visit. The walk up to The Santuario di Madonna di San Luca is also worthwhile and a very good workout with 471 steps and 3.8km of covered walkway!

    Beautiful historic city with most attractions easily accessible by foot. The Archaeological Museum and Pinacoteca Nazionale were highlights. San Luca Sanctuary walk was spectacular but quite a lot of uphill; best done in the morning, to arrive in time for the skydome access which opens at 10am.

    Bologna is steeped in history.

    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.

    Check in easy, we were able to leave bags before rooms were ready, air conditioning good in hot summer. Breakfast buffet style pastries and drinks - ok - might be nicer to find a local cafe but it was included in price and adequate if not exceptional. Helpful and friendly staff - sorted a taxi for trip to airport. All good. Good location to reach the main attractions of central Bologna. I managed to leave my phone cable and adapter in the room and hotel responded quickly to my query if it was there (sadly way too expensive to courier home)

    Reasons to stay at Phi Hotel Bologna Al Capello Rosso: Extensive breakfast options including Greek yogurts and cheeses. Good multilingual staff helping guests with luggage and logistics. Excellent bed in the apartment I booked that was around the corner from the historic main hotel. I appreciated that they called me to ask whether I wanted to change my room type after I requested a bathtub. But the apartment, which is shower-only, was lovely.

    I love Bologna so finding a hotel so close to the centre was a joy. Great location, some quirky rooms decorated by artists - including the one we stayed in! Tea and coffee making facilities. Superb breakfast. Also Prossecco, filled croissants and crisps available in the guest lounge(!) Great location for exploring the city, about a 10 min walk from the main rail station with much of this under the colonnades that Bologna is famous for.

    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.

As mentioned by others, the hotel is effectively international traveler standard. All the staff spoke good English and made every effort to accommodate me during my stay.

    We are staying at this hotel for the second time. The first time was during the pandemic. It is much more relaxed now. We have been using Bologna as a gateway to other parts of Italy and this hotel is ideal for late of early flights to and from Bologna Airport. I managed to walk around a little bit and I saw that there was a commercial centre not far from the hotel. We also had a dinner at the restaurant and the food was amazing.
