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.

    We really enjoyed our short visit to Bologna - our first time there. It's a fascinating city - lively, vibrant and friendly. There is a wealth of cultural attractions (especially MAMb0 the modern art museum) and plenty of reasonably priced but good places to eat and drink. It does attract quite a lot of tourists but they don't overwhelm the city, unlike Venice and Florence. It feels like a lived-in city but one that welcomes visitors. We will definitely return.

    Bologna is very walkable with incredibly beautiful porticos and parks. San Luca was interesting. The many street markets offer a variety of things to see and taste. The many districts of the city are also fun to visit.saragozza, the ghetto, Cirenaia, Giardini Marguerite….. And the train station is close for travel to other places. Love Bologna!

    We were 12 days in Bologna -- with a one day excursion to Ravenna to see the mosaics. It was the right amount of time to see the museums, climb the stairs to St. Luca's, take a couple of privately guided tours, and to eat our way through this delicious city at a slow pace. Maxim (in front of the tower) is the perfect spot for your first cappuccino of the day, and to people watch. I would recommend a meal at Taverna del Postiglione on Via Marchesana (up the stairs) -- one of our favorites! Via Santo Stefano (which leads to the church) is a wonderful place to get coffee, snacks, or spritzes and your mood requires any time of day. Don't forget that restaurants close 2:30- 7 pm. Only the touristy spots are open all day. You will find those nearer Piazza Maggiore.

    Bologna is a city that may not immediately draw you in with its aesthetic. It has a charm that you have to get to know, and gastronomically, it's still unbearable for me. It is small enough to walk anywhere close or within the walls, and has plenty of green space outside the walls to explore via car, bike, or bus. The food is yummy pretty much anywhere you go, with some places blowing your mind. All in all, worth a 3-day visit.

    It's a fascinating and beautiful city - at least in the old, central part of town where we stayed. Great ambiance, great art, great architecture, great ancient University. Walking around the old city is easy. The ancient market area was really fun. We enjoyed the dissection theater of the ancient University medical school.

    We have done a lot of travelling in Italy and when we decided to stay in one place for a month we choose Bologna. Plenty to do in the city, the food...oh the food and the location for doing day trips to Parma, Modena, Ravenna, Ferrara is so easy. Being a university town it has vibrant energy, highly recommended.

    Bologna
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.9
    Good - What previous guests thought, 5,648 reviews
    The hotel is located in the northern part of the city centre, a 12-minute walk from Bologna Centrale station. It is only minutes away from rerstaurants, cafes, and the main porticoed street, Via Independenza. When I reported certain problems with the room I was given initially (air conditioner and safety deposit box didn't work), I was immediately offered a choice of two other rooms which were fine. There is an elevator to reach the six floors. Reception staff were very friendly.

    It is a good option if you have connection in Bologna, but be advised to check the timetable of the free shuttle from airport. It do not works all day long, just morning and evening. So, If you arrive the time, when no shuttle, should pay for taxi, as it is not comfortable to walk there, and in this was taxi costs nearly like to the Bologna City and is cheaper and faster to get train to city. Also, same issue with hotel, if you would like go to city center need to take taxi.

    Excellent hotel for a stay in Bologna. Close to the station and a 10 minute walk down a lovely Boulevard (they were renovating the boulevard when we were there but it will be beautiful and elegant when finished) to all the historical sites and fabulous restaurants. Being the food capital of Italy, there was a lot to explore and unfortunately, one night wasn’t enough. Polite and helpful staff.

    This hotel is 5 minutes from the Bologna Centrale. It is quirky but very comfortable with a nice reception area. It is about 20 minutes from the centre of Bologna on foot. The room for one person was ideal and came with fridge which kept your water cold
