The location is perfect—right along the iconic porticoes of San Luca, making it super convenient for exploring on foot. Even though the weather was quite warm that night, the underground rooms kept things cool and comfortable, so we slept like babies. The host was incredibly kind and helpful—always ready to assist with any request.

Rooms H Ercolani

Staying in the green room with Patrizia was a delightful experience. The room was charming, clean, and perfectly located right in the heart of Bologna—just steps away from the stunning Palazzo Hercolani. We walked to all major tourist spots without needing transport, which made exploring so easy. Even though we had already checked out, we asked if we could leave our luggage at the B&B before our afternoon train, and Patrizia kindly agreed without hesitation. Her warm hospitality and genuine kindness made a real difference. The quiet neighborhood, private bathroom, and central location made this stay feel like a home away from home.

Hostel Il Nosadillo - Bologna

I only stayed one night at Hostel Il Nosadillo, and honestly, that’s a real shame! The vibe was absolutely fantastic—warm, welcoming, and full of fellow solo travelers.

Bed & Breakfast Cesarina

Staying at Bed & Breakfast Cesarina in Bologna was a pleasant experience overall. While the property has a slightly dated feel, the beds were incredibly comfortable and the hosts were absolutely wonderful—warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. We stayed in a room with shared bathroom facilities, so it’s worth noting that if you prefer a private bathroom, it’s best to request one in advance. That said, the shared bathrooms were kept immaculately clean—our hostess was clearly dedicated to hygiene, cleaning them at least five times a day, even during peak occupancy. The breakfast was generous and delicious, offering a great variety of fresh items. The location is ideal—quiet yet just a short walk from the city center, making it easy to explore everything on foot. Public transport access is convenient too. With such a great value for money and a cozy, homely atmosphere, I’d definitely consider returning if I’m ever back in Bologna.

B & B 21 Bologna

The location is excellent—right in the heart of Bologna and quiet enough to be peaceful. It’s a great spot for exploring the city on foot, and the property has a charming, low-key vibe. However, the experience was severely let down by poor communication and management. The host never showed up during our stay and only communicated via email, which was slow and impersonal. To make matters worse, we weren’t informed that another guest would be arriving late at night. When they unexpectedly entered the room, it startled us awake—my kids were terrified. The bathroom is also extremely small, with a tiny sink that looks like it’s meant for preschoolers. You can barely wash your hands comfortably, and there’s no bidet at all. While the location earns high marks, the lack of basic hospitality, privacy, and thoughtful planning makes this a frustrating stay. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable home away from home.
