Staying at BLQ 01 Boutique B&B in the heart of Bologna was an absolute delight. The vintage-inspired decor truly sets the tone—every corner feels like a story waiting to be told. What made it extra special was finding a 1927 copy of Annie Vivanti’s book on the nightstand. Though the author is largely forgotten today, her words offered a glimpse into a lost era, while her modern spirit shone through. I wish I’d had more time to read it—our one-night stay just wasn’t enough!

As someone who loves upcycled pieces and old-world charm, the thoughtful details throughout the space were a real treat.

We stayed at HolaBologna for three nights with two adults and two children, and it was an excellent experience overall. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk or quick transit ride to the heart of Bologna, making sightseeing and dining out easy. The room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, offering comfort for the whole family. Breakfast was a highlight: the nearby partner café served delicious croissants, but even when the café was closed, the hotel’s in-house breakfast option was equally satisfying and thoughtfully prepared. The only minor downside is that parking near the entrance comes at a fee, but considering everything else—the great location, cleanliness, friendly staff, and value—it’s a small trade-off. Highly recommended for families or travelers seeking a comfortable, hassle-free stay in Bologna.
Stayed one night at this charming property and was thoroughly impressed. For just €70 per night, two people enjoyed a quiet, well-insulated room with excellent value for money. The bathroom is located outside the room but is private and secure—perfect for storing personal items. The mattress was comfortable, and the room was already warm upon arrival, which made a big difference in the chilly evening. The TV was modern with access to Netflix and YouTube (requires login), though I didn’t get around to using it—don’t know if there were any setup issues. In the morning, I brewed coffee and herbal tea using a high-quality kettle, and appreciated the small kitchenette with fridge—ideal for light meals or snacks. The overall atmosphere was peaceful, clean, and welcoming. The bathroom was spacious and beautifully designed, with a generous shower area. I was genuinely happy with the entire experience. Bonus: just a short walk away is a fantastic little restaurant where we had a romantic dinner—elegant dishes, reasonable prices, and great ambiance. Highly recommend both the hotel and the nearby dining spot. Would definitely stay here again.
Definitely avoid this property—no cell signal at all, and the Wi-Fi was completely non-functional. I reached out to the host multiple times, but they just said 'I don’t know' with zero effort to fix it. After three nights, I had to go outside to coffee shops just to get basic internet access—felt like I was living in a cave. The bathroom door was broken too, making it awkward to use. To make matters worse, we needed to register for the city tax, but instead of help, we kept getting pushy emails demanding compliance. The lack of support and poor communication made the whole stay frustrating. Don’t waste your time or money—this is not worth it.
