FAQs about hotels in Bologna









A Gourmet Delight

World-class cuisine is what Bologna does best. Nowhere in Italy, a country with considerable culinary heritage, is the food considered to be better than in this medieval gem.

Bolognese sauce of course originated here, but to try the real thing look for "ragú" on the menu. Cold meats and cheeses are also exquisite. Make sure you save plenty of time for eating – the Bolognese like to savor their food, so a meal can last for hours.

Many of the best eateries and homemade ice cream shops are found behind the mile upon mile of porticoed streets, now UNESCO World Heritage sites. The complex of medieval churches and buildings in cobbled Piazza Santo Stefano is a tranquil spot to explore. Climb one of the Two Towers nearby (not the one leaning at a startling angle) for spectacular views of this red-roof city.

The focal point of Bologna is huge Piazza Maggiore, whose Santo Petronio church has an unimpressive, half-finished façade that doesn’t prepare you for its sheer scale inside. Fanning out from this square, the buildings of Europe’s oldest university, founded in 1088, are home to the city’s best museums.

Bologna accommodations at Booking.com range from small B&Bs to luxury hotels, all easily accessible from Bologna Airport just outside the city.

    Bologna is a lovely city with many historic buildings and museums and dozens of fabulous restaurants. It's also a convenient centre to reach other interesting Italian cities by a short rail journey. This time we visited Ferrara and Faenza. Last visit we had a day in Modena and a few days in Ravenna. Neither Venezia nor Firenze are too far for a day trip. Maybe next time though there's still Parma and Verona on the bucket list.

    Everything is great about Bologna especially if you're a young person. Great food, not very expensive and mostly positive and friendly people. A lot of students in Giuseppe Verdi Plaza was great to see. There's plenty of cheap food that is high quality but even the high end restaurants are not very expensive. Nice architecture and everything is close together (train station, city center etc). I loved Bologna there's nothing not to like about it!

I would recommend getting the 2day ticket. There are a range of eateries so one can grab a slice of pizza or have a full meal. The aperol spritz are served with small savoury delights. The food is good. The people friendly.

    Very interesting city. Very walkable.

    Very interesting city. Very walkable. The university area is fascinating as is the history of the town - underground canal system, oldest university, etc. It is slightly less busy that other major Italian cities. Great food and nice vibe with it still feeling like a university town (youthful). Had an especially good meal at Da Nello's near Piazza Maggiore. Lots of construction and restoration going on but it didn't really detract too much.

    One of the most beautiful cities of Europe, the weather was great and there was a great crowd on the streets. The food n people are nice. You can find history in every corner. We walked almost everywhere. Had an eating tour which was very nice.. Go to Via Pescherie Vecchie, for sure you'll find a spot to dine:) If you have few days you can take a tour to Ravenna to see Dante's tomb, the famous mosaics n have lunch at the Mercato Coperto. I didn't get enough, sure will go back:)

    Check in easy, we were able to leave bags before rooms were ready, air conditioning good in hot summer. Breakfast buffet style pastries and drinks - ok - might be nicer to find a local cafe but it was included in price and adequate if not exceptional. Helpful and friendly staff - sorted a taxi for trip to airport. All good. Good location to reach the main attractions of central Bologna. I managed to leave my phone cable and adapter in the room and hotel responded quickly to my query if it was there (sadly way too expensive to courier home)

    The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the owner (Alessandro) was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend Milleventi Apartments for anyone visiting downtown of Bologna. I have stayed at many of hotels/apartments but this was on the top of the list of best stays/experiences ever. Alessandro was very hospitable and there for every need of mine. He helped us find a taxi at 3:00 am. and then he contacted us if we were arriving at the airport. Alessandro thank you so much.

    Hotel is in an excellent location, 2 minute walk from the main train station. Travelling to other cities and to the airport was made very easy as the train station was so close. I found the area safe and quiet and walked back to the hotel every night when it was dark and had no issues. Staff were exceptional to deal with and not rude like I have found in some hotels in Italy. Hotel is very clean...calm, relaxed atmosphere in the lobby. Hot water for showering never ran out.

The host allowed us to check in an hour early and was friendly/helpful. Transportation is at the street level. Quiet building with elevator. Secured property. Within walking distance of city centre. Great restaurants nearby. Half the cost of the 4 star hotel nearby. Highly recommended!

    I stayed at Hotel Emi the night before my flight out of the Bologna Airport. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff was friendly. They arranged a taxi for me for the morning which made getting to the airport very easy. Also the pizza I ate in the restaurant at Hotel Emi might be the best pizza I have ever eaten. It's called the "Best Selling" and I can see why. Stay here and eat here. You will enjoy it.

    The location of this hotel is quite good, though a little far from the centre. But it's easily reachable on foot from Bologna Centrale, and once you work out the bus system, it's no problem to get to the Piazza Maggiore and other places of interest. The staff were always ready to help with special requests (luggage storage, cutlery etc.). And the room was comfortable.
