Staying at Art Hotel Commercianti in Bologna was an absolute delight. Nestled right in the heart of the city, it’s incredibly convenient for exploring on foot—everything from museums to local cafes is just a short stroll away. The hotel itself is small but perfectly charming, with tasteful art-inspired decor that gives it a unique personality. Breakfast was exceptional—fresh, delicious, and full of local flavors. I especially loved the homemade pastries and rich coffee. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night’s sleep. Staff were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help without being intrusive. The room was spotless, clean, and well-maintained down to the smallest detail. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of style, comfort, and hospitality in a boutique hotel. Highly recommended for travelers who appreciate authenticity and attention to detail.

Staying at Palazzo di Alcina in Bologna feels like stepping into a living masterpiece. Nestled in a quiet alley just steps from the city’s heart, this 16th-century residence was originally built for a high-ranking Vatican official and adorned with frescoes inspired by Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso—now preserved in Bologna’s National Gallery. The name comes from the enchantress Alcina, who lured the knight Ruggiero into her magical palace—how wise she was! From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed with Prosecco and local nibbles, setting the tone for an unforgettable experience. The staff, Pier Francesco and Maria Cristina, whose family has owned the palazzo for over 200 years, make you feel truly at home with their warm, personal hospitality. Rooms are elegantly furnished with timeless style, and breakfast is served in a grand salon around a large communal table, fostering genuine connection among guests. I particularly loved the exquisite selection of local cheeses—though as a vegetarian, I appreciated the thoughtful alternative of frittata and truffle bruschetta. Location couldn’t be better: Piazza Maggiore, Piazza Nettuno, major museums, churches, the opera house, and countless excellent restaurants are all within a 5-minute walk. Pier Francesco is always happy to share his passion for Bologna, offering charming insights into hidden gems worth exploring. The highlight? A private concert in the palace’s grand salon featuring a soprano, baritone, and pianist performing Italian opera arias at an exceptional level—complete with more Prosecco and finger food. While we’re cautious with the term 'hidden gem,' this is exactly where it fits. A rare blend of history, luxury, and heartfelt service that leaves a lasting impression.

Staying at I Portici Hotel Bologna was a fantastic experience. The location is unbeatable—just a 5-minute walk to the train station in one direction and another 5 minutes to the heart of the city. The room was spotless, comfortable, and stylishly decorated. We were assigned Room #229, which features a loft bed—this might not suit everyone, especially those who prefer ground-level sleeping, but it adds a unique charm and quirky character that you don’t typically expect from a hotel. The blend of modern design and local flair made our stay memorable. It’s an excellent choice for travelers looking for convenience, comfort, and a touch of personality in their accommodation.

Staying at Boutique Hotel Casa Faccioli in Bologna was an absolute highlight of my trip. Nestled right in the heart of the city, it’s just a 2-minute walk from Piazza Nettuno and the main square, with the iconic leaning towers nearby—stepping out the front door feels like stepping into a living piece of medieval history. The location is unbeatable, yet the price is refreshingly fair for such a prime spot. Inside, the rooms are clean, well-appointed, and professionally maintained daily. Breakfast is served at a cozy café just around the corner—four different options to choose from, all hearty and satisfying, especially considering how much you’d pay elsewhere for something similar. But what truly sets this place apart is the personal touch. The staff—Filippo, Massimo, and Tatiana—go above and beyond with genuine care and attention. Any issue is resolved quickly, even if it’s outside standard services. Tatiana, being a native Russian speaker, made the experience feel extra special and welcoming in a country where Russian isn’t commonly spoken. It’s clear they genuinely want guests to relax and focus on enjoying their time, not worrying about details. This hotel isn’t just a stay—it’s a warm, thoughtful experience. I’ll definitely be back.

Absolutely loved our stay at this apartment! It was spotless, well-equipped, spacious, and incredibly peaceful—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The location is fantastic: just a short walk from the heart of Bologna, making it easy to explore the city on foot. All rooms were equipped with air conditioning (though it wasn’t running in April and no remote control was included—probably meant for summer use). Great choice for a larger group—five of us stayed comfortably, with excellent beds for everyone. One guest even slept beautifully on the sofa bed, which had a really supportive mattress. Overall, an outstanding experience with top-notch value. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Bologna!

Staying at Hotel Novecento in Bologna was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is perfect—just a short 5-minute walk from Piazza Maggiore and close to major shopping streets like Vía Farini. While it takes about 20 minutes to walk from Bologna Centrale Station, the route is straightforward and mostly covered by sheltered walkways along Vía Galliera, making it pleasant even on rainy days. Once you reach Galileo Galilei Square, the hotel is clearly visible at the far end. I stayed in a Single Deluxe room (Room 105), and what stood out immediately was how spacious and thoughtfully designed it felt. Unlike many single rooms that feel cramped against a wall, my bed was placed right in the center of the room—open, airy, and surprisingly cozy. The mattress was incredibly comfortable; I actually considered taking it home with me! It was paired with a light, fresh duvet that made for a restful night’s sleep. The room had plenty of space—no tripping over furniture—and came with a large wardrobe, a plush armchair, a huge TV, and a stylish console below housing a safe, mini-bar, and Nespresso coffee machine with a few capsules, milk packs, and abundant tea options. The window faces the back of the building, so noise from the street is completely blocked—perfect for a peaceful stay. When I arrived, the room was already at a cool 21°C, and the AC can be adjusted as needed. The bathroom features a powerful built-in shower and all the premium amenities you’d expect from a four-star property, including a robe and slippers. Breakfast is served from 7 AM downstairs and is truly exceptional. The sweet section offers cakes, cookies, local pastries, cornettos, and toast options, while the savory side includes cured meats, cheeses (Parmigiano and Pecorino included), avocado toast, smoked salmon, roasted peppers, hard-boiled eggs, and a fresh salad bar. Fresh fruit, cereals, and yogurt are also available. If you’re still hungry, the kitchen will happily prepare freshly squeezed orange juice, mixed fruit juices, or eggs any way you like—scrambled, fried, or poached. And don’t miss the afternoon snack corner, open from 11 AM, offering free coffee, cookies, and light bites. While lunch and dinner aren’t served on-site, Bologna is full of excellent dining options just around the corner—no need to worry. One standout moment was meeting Daniele, the front desk staff. He was warm, attentive, and went above and beyond: not only did he assist with check-in and offer to store my luggage before the room was ready, but his genuine hospitality made the entire experience feel personal and welcoming. This boutique hotel blends charm, comfort, and attention to detail perfectly—highly recommend for travelers seeking a memorable stay in Bologna.

Staying at B&B Lame 57 felt more like a boutique hotel than a typical guesthouse—clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully run. There’s no kitchenette, but breakfast was easy to grab downstairs at the café with a fresh croissant and coffee. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Bologna, steps away from shops, restaurants, and attractions. Finding the place wasn’t obvious at first—I almost missed it until a fellow guest kindly pointed me to the doorbell labeled 'B&an Chez Moi Lame 57' and reminded me to take elevator B inside. Once up, everything was clear and welcoming. It’s such a convenient, quiet spot with great value for money. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Bologna.

Staying at Villa Benni B&B in Bologna was an absolute delight, especially for those who appreciate historic charm and elegant architecture. The villa, built in 1927, feels like stepping into a bygone era—grand, timeless, and full of character. We stayed in the ground-floor Portrait Room, which was spacious and beautifully appointed: marble mosaic flooring, high ceilings, antique furnishings, and a stunning vintage bathtub in the bathroom. The property is surrounded by a large, peaceful garden filled with birdsong and cicadas—perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the city. It’s well located too—just a 20-minute walk to the city center, and there's a bus stop right nearby, making public transport easy. The welcome was warm and personal, and the breakfast was exceptional—freshly baked pastries, homemade cakes, and a lovely selection of treats. On-site parking is available, which is a big plus. One thing to note: the room doesn’t have air conditioning or a fridge, just a ceiling fan, so it might feel warm during summer months. However, the overall atmosphere, unique setting, and attention to detail make up for it. At €200 per night, it’s not the cheapest option, but you truly get what you pay for—a one-of-a-kind experience that’s worth every euro.
