I'm back for the second time within a month, and the experience was just as good as last time. The hotel is conveniently located in Bologna, with a clean, comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff. One thing I’d like to mention: the points system on the platform seems to be based on booking count, and leaving a review only earns 470 points—this feels a bit unfair compared to other platforms. It would be great if the reward structure were adjusted to better reflect guest engagement. Despite that, the overall value is excellent, and I’d definitely recommend staying here.
The check-in process was seamless and highly convenient—everything was handled online with a simple link to unlock the door. The apartment itself is spotless, well-maintained, and comfortably furnished, making it feel like home from the moment we arrived. Its location is outstanding—perfectly situated in the heart of Bologna, within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and local attractions. Public transportation is just steps away, and exploring the city on foot or by bike is a breeze. The modern touch in the smart entry system adds a nice futuristic flair. Overall, this place offers exceptional value for money and a truly authentic Bologna experience. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
We spent a wonderful weekend in March 2025 and couldn’t be happier with our stay.

It felt like home, yet offered all the comforts of a hotel. Whether you're traveling for leisure or business, this place hits the sweet spot. Highly recommend for a comfortable, hassle-free experience in Bologna.
Staying at Gregorini Bingham Art Luxury Suites was an absolute delight. The rooms are beautifully renovated with a unique artistic flair, making each stay feel like stepping into a curated gallery. Located in the heart of historic Bologna, it's perfectly positioned—within walking distance to everything you'd want to explore, yet tucked away in a quiet, peaceful corner of the city. There’s a parking garage available, though space is limited to vehicles similar in size to a Peugeot 3008—larger cars won’t fit. Be aware there’s no elevator and plenty of stairs, so if you’re not up for climbing, it might be a bit challenging. But honestly? The charm, location, and character more than make up for it. This place offers a truly authentic and memorable way to experience Bologna.
