Residenza del Duse

Stayed one night at this charming property and was thoroughly impressed. For just €70 per night, two people enjoyed a quiet, well-insulated room with excellent value for money. The bathroom is located outside the room but is private and secure—perfect for storing personal items. The mattress was comfortable, and the room was already warm upon arrival, which made a big difference in the chilly evening. The TV was modern with access to Netflix and YouTube (requires login), though I didn’t get around to using it—don’t know if there were any setup issues. In the morning, I brewed coffee and herbal tea using a high-quality kettle, and appreciated the small kitchenette with fridge—ideal for light meals or snacks. The overall atmosphere was peaceful, clean, and welcoming. The bathroom was spacious and beautifully designed, with a generous shower area. I was genuinely happy with the entire experience. Bonus: just a short walk away is a fantastic little restaurant where we had a romantic dinner—elegant dishes, reasonable prices, and great ambiance. Highly recommend both the hotel and the nearby dining spot. Would definitely stay here again.

The Social Hub Bologna

Staying at The Social Hub Bologna was a great experience overall. The room was clean and functional, with a particularly comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. Noise insulation is average—nothing to complain about, especially considering the hotel’s central location. What really stood out was the proximity to the train station; it’s just a short walk away, which proved incredibly convenient during strikes when taxis were scarce or unavailable. Having a 24-hour front desk was a huge plus—it gave peace of mind no matter what time I arrived or needed assistance. For travelers who value location, convenience, and good value, this place hits all the right notes. I’d definitely stay here again on my next visit to Bologna.

B&B Elegance

Perfectly located in the heart of Bologna, this B&B offers easy access to everything you’d want during a short stay. The room was clean, simple, and well-equipped for a few nights—exactly what you need when you're on the move. Check-in is handled remotely via WhatsApp, which works smoothly once you get the hang of it. However, it could be a bit clearer in the booking instructions: first-time guests might not realize they need to wait by the door for someone to answer the phone before getting inside. That said, it’s a minor hiccup in an otherwise great experience. The location, cleanliness, and friendly vibe make this a solid choice if you’re looking for a quiet, convenient base in the city.

The location is excellent—just a 13-minute walk from Bologna Centrale Station, making it super convenient for getting around the city by foot or public transit. There are more than three large supermarkets within walking distance, plus plenty of cafes and restaurants, so dining and grocery shopping are no hassle.

All facilities worked perfectly during our stay: air conditioning, water heater (for hot showers), stove, oven, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, and hairdryer—all in good working order. We didn’t test the heating system since we visited in summer, but everything else performed as expected. The overall vibe is quiet and comfortable, ideal for travelers looking for a home-like base with modern amenities. Highly recommend this place for its practical layout, smart location, and reliable service. Definitely a top choice if you're visiting Bologna.
