L'8 Boutique Via Piella

Staying at L'8 Boutique Via Piella in Bologna was an absolute delight. Located right in the heart of the historic district, every landmark, museum, and charming street is just a short walk away—perfect for exploring on foot. The apartment itself is thoughtfully designed with modern comforts and stylish touches, making it feel like a home away from home. Yes, the stairs are a bit steep since it’s in a traditional building, but that’s part of the authentic charm. Everything is well-maintained, clean, and surprisingly spacious for the location. The neighborhood vibe is lively yet peaceful, and being able to wander freely without needing transport makes it ideal for travelers who love to discover cities at their own pace. I highly recommend this gem—it's a true hidden treasure in Bologna.

It’s the kind of place where you can completely unwind, away from the city bustle but still just a short walk or metro ride away from everything. I’ve never experienced such a welcoming atmosphere or such a high level of hospitality. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with all the comforts you need, this is it.

Absolutely recommend this apartment! The location is unbeatable—everything you need is within walking distance, from restaurants and shopping to train and bus stations, historic landmarks, a supermarket, and even a parking garage.

Sant'Orsola Colorful Huge Apartment

The apartment was spacious and clean, with a great location just a short walk from the city center—perfect for exploring Bologna on foot. It was comfortable during our stay, especially since we spent most of our time out and about. That said, there were a few frustrating issues. We arrived to find only one key for the building, which made access inconvenient, especially when traveling with luggage. The toilet seat was broken and caused minor injuries each time we used it—something we reported immediately upon arrival, but unfortunately no replacement was provided during our stay. The bathroom was small and the hot water ran out frequently, requiring long waits between showers. While the amenities were basic, they were sufficient for our needs. We did cook once, but had to buy essentials like salt, oil, and pepper since none were stocked in the kitchen. Overall, it was a mostly pleasant experience, but the price felt a bit high considering the condition of some fixtures and lack of basic supplies. For what you get, it’s slightly overpriced.

NH Bologna de la Gare

Located just steps from the train station, this hotel offers unbeatable convenience for travelers arriving by rail. The staff was incredibly welcoming and even allowed me to check in at 12:30 PM—earlier than the official check-in time of 3:00 PM. That was a pleasant surprise! My room came with a kettle, which made morning coffee or tea super easy. The single bed was generously sized and very comfortable, perfect for a good night’s rest. Clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped, this place delivers great value. I’d definitely stay here again when visiting Bologna.

Mitico Hotel & Natural Spa

The value for money here is outstanding—definitely worth booking in advance to secure a room. The overall experience was excellent: the hotel is clean, the breakfast is delicious with great variety, and the staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. While the immediate neighborhood isn’t the most polished, it’s super convenient for getting into the city center—just a short walk to the bus stop where Line 25 runs directly downtown. There’s also a small but functional gym on-site, perfect for a quick workout. Despite a few minor drawbacks, the positives far outweigh them. This place offers comfort, convenience, and charm at an unbeatable price. I’d definitely stay again.
