Zanhotel Tre Vecchi

Located just steps from the heart of Bologna, this hotel offers a convenient and welcoming stay. While the rooms show signs of age—particularly with some peeling wall coverings and slightly worn carpeting—the overall experience remains strong. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, making check-in and daily interactions a pleasure. High-speed Wi-Fi works perfectly, and the breakfast spread is generous and satisfying. That said, a full room refresh—especially upgrading the flooring and wall finishes—would elevate the comfort level significantly. Still, for its location, service, and value, it’s a solid choice for travelers who prioritize convenience and a warm atmosphere.

Hotel Astoria

Staying at Hotel Astoria in Bologna was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of the city, just a short walk from the train station, making it super convenient for exploring on foot or hopping on public transit. There's a grocery store right around the corner, perfect for grabbing snacks or essentials. My single room was surprisingly spacious, with a comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The modern bathroom was clean and well-equipped, and the housekeeping staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was a highlight—so many options! I loved the slushies, iced coffee, pistachio cream, fresh fruit, and classic Italian pastries and egg dishes. The automated coffee machine served high-quality brews, and the best part? You can enjoy breakfast outside on the terrace. Sipping coffee under the sun while watching the world go by felt so authentically European. This hotel delivers excellent value and a memorable stay.

Astoria Suite Apartments

Staying at Astoria Suite Apartments in Bologna was a decent experience overall. The breakfast was nice and the room was comfortably warm, with hot water for the shower right away—great for a morning start. The bus stop is very close by, making getting around town super convenient. However, the hotel mentioned Piazza Maggiore was just a 10-minute walk, but it actually takes about 20 minutes—so plan accordingly. Staff were friendly and eager to help, even though there was a language barrier at times. They spoke several languages including English, Italian, Greek, and French, which made communication smooth. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for a quiet, well-located stay with good service and a bit of local charm.

Hotel Blumen Collection by Gsa Hotels

Staying at Hotel Blumen Collection was a delightful surprise. The staff were incredibly friendly—when we arrived at 11:30 AM, we were immediately offered a coffee and our room was already ready. While the room wasn’t the most modern in design, it was spacious enough for two people, comfortably fitting two medium-sized suitcases without feeling cramped. Like many city hotels, soundproofing isn’t perfect, so a little consideration from fellow guests goes a long way. But once windows are closed, street noise stays outside—perfect for a good night’s sleep. The location was ideal: just outside the historic center, yet not within the ZTL zone, making it easy to explore on foot. It’s about a 10–15 minute walk to the old town, passing through charming archways that make the journey feel like part of the Bologna experience. Parking is limited and not reservable, but it’s completely free—always a plus when traveling with a car. Breakfast was outstanding: abundant, varied, and included fresh homemade pastries. I’d definitely stay here again—great value, warm hospitality, and a fantastic base for exploring Bologna.

The place was spotless, well-maintained, and thoughtfully furnished with modern comforts blending seamlessly with historic charm. Being right in the city center made exploring on foot effortless—restaurants, cafes, and sights were just steps away. It’s rare to find such a unique, clean, and centrally located stay. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s an experience. Highly recommended!

The hotel isn’t brand new, but what stands out is how clean and well-maintained it feels throughout. Every surface, especially in the bathroom, is spotless and freshly cleaned. The bed was extremely comfortable, making for a restful night’s sleep. We arrived early in the morning around 9:00 AM, and despite it being before standard check-in time, the front desk staff kindly accommodated us with an early check-in because a room was available. That kind gesture made our day! Overall, this place offers excellent value and a welcoming atmosphere—definitely a top choice if you're visiting Bologna.
