Staying at The Social Hub Bologna was a great experience overall. The room was clean and functional, with a particularly comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. Noise insulation is average—nothing to complain about, especially considering the hotel’s central location. What really stood out was the proximity to the train station; it’s just a short walk away, which proved incredibly convenient during strikes when taxis were scarce or unavailable. Having a 24-hour front desk was a huge plus—it gave peace of mind no matter what time I arrived or needed assistance. For travelers who value location, convenience, and good value, this place hits all the right notes. I’d definitely stay here again on my next visit to Bologna.
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!
Located just on the edge of Bologna's city center, this hotel offers excellent accessibility—just a short ride into downtown. The room is clean, well-designed, and incredibly comfortable, with fast Wi-Fi that’s perfect for business travelers who need to stay connected. I was impressed by the wide variety of breakfast options—fresh pastries, local specialties, and international favorites—all served with a smile. The staff are genuinely friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. It’s a great choice for both work trips and leisure stays. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in town.
Staying at Bologna Homestay with Nello and Marianna was an absolute delight. The cleanliness was outstanding—never have I used kitchenware without worrying about washing them first! The rooms are beautifully designed, with thoughtful attention to every little detail, and the comfort level is excellent. Its central location makes it easy to walk to both the city center and the exhibition area—no need for taxis or complicated transit. The shared bathroom is well-maintained and managed smoothly, so no inconvenience at all. What truly sets this place apart is the warm hospitality: Nello’s kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care made our stay unforgettable. This isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s a home away from home. If you’re visiting Bologna, don’t hesitate—this is one of those rare stays you’ll remember long after you’ve left.
Staying at Mars41 B&B was an absolute delight, thanks to the warm and welcoming host, Maria. The common area is thoughtfully equipped with excellent tea and coffee options, plus fresh fruit and biscuits—perfect for a quick pick-me-up. Breakfast is conveniently arranged at a nearby café, offering a delicious mix of coffee, juice, yogurt, cornetto, and a hearty ham & cheese toastie—simple but satisfying. Located just 700 meters from Piazza Maggiore, the property sits in a vibrant university neighborhood full of cozy cafés, restaurants, and a supermarket within walking distance. Public transport access is easy, making it simple to explore the city center. The only minor drawbacks were the lack of a mini-fridge in the room and bedside power outlets for charging devices—something some travelers might miss. Also, there’s no TV in the room, which may not suit everyone. However, these small compromises don’t take away from the overall experience. The location, hospitality, and value make this a standout choice for travelers seeking a quiet yet well-connected stay in Bologna.
I had an absolutely wonderful stay here! The owners were incredibly warm and welcoming, going out of their way to make me feel at home. The room was spotlessly clean, spacious, and well-maintained—perfect for a relaxing getaway. What stood out most was the location: just a short walk from the historic center, making it easy to explore all the charm of Bologna on foot. There’s a 24-hour supermarket right below the B&B, open until midnight, which is super convenient for grabbing snacks or essentials late at night. I also appreciated the fully equipped kitchen with a large fridge—ideal for storing groceries and preparing meals, especially if you're staying longer or want to save on dining out. This place offers excellent value and genuine hospitality. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bologna.
Every time I visit Bologna, Nettuno 29 is my go-to choice—feeling right at home from the moment I arrive. Federico’s warm hospitality and genuine kindness make all the difference. The room comfortably fits three adults, with plenty of thoughtful amenities and a well-designed layout. The bathroom is just next to the bedroom, but thanks to the considerate behavior of fellow guests, there’s no sense of crowding or privacy issues—moving in and out is effortless. It’s become my fixed reference point whenever I’m in town. More than just the excellent location and comfort, it’s Federico’s exceptional care and attention to detail that truly sets this place apart. A must-stay for anyone visiting 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.
This place is absolutely fantastic! Right across from the San Orsola Polyclinic, it's incredibly convenient for both city access and medical visits. The entire property is spotless—cleanliness is clearly a priority. The owner is incredibly welcoming and helpful, always ready to assist with anything you might need. The mattress is comfortable, perfect for a good night's sleep, and the shower is spacious and well-designed. I also appreciated the reliable Wi-Fi and a functional TV for relaxing evenings. Everything is within easy reach, and the overall vibe is warm and inviting. I'd highly recommend this gem—it’s a standout in Bologna, and I’ll definitely be returning.
Staying at B&B Fiera Maglo' was a great choice for exploring Bologna. The property is clean, well-maintained, and warmly welcoming—perfect for travelers who value comfort and a quiet retreat after a day of sightseeing. Located on the outskirts of the city, it's surprisingly easy to get around thanks to nearby public transit options. Our triple room was spacious, with plenty of storage and modern amenities, and the recently renovated bathroom made our stay even more enjoyable. Parking was a bit hit-or-miss—only four designated spots directly in front of the entrance—but there are plenty of other parking options nearby, so no major hassle. Bologna itself is absolutely beautiful, full of history, charm, and amazing food. Having a reliable, comfortable base like this one made visiting the city feel effortless. I’d definitely recommend this B&B to anyone planning a trip to Bologna.
Staying at La Casa Nel Verde 2 in Bologna was a mixed experience. The location is quiet and tucked away from the main tourist areas, which I appreciated for a peaceful retreat, but it also means limited nearby amenities and services. The room faces the street, so there's noticeable traffic noise at night—something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to sound. Accessing the private bathroom requires walking through the shared common area, which affects privacy slightly. That said, the cleanliness throughout the property was excellent, and the hostess was very attentive and welcoming, always checking in with guests. The double bed is actually two single beds pushed together, which worked well for us. Overall, while not perfect, the place offers good value for a quiet, clean stay with a personal touch from the owner. It’s ideal for travelers seeking simplicity and a calm atmosphere rather than bustling city life.
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.
