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.

It's a great idea to use the public transport - buses, it's cheap – you dont pay more than 6 euros for 24 hours and you buy the ticket in bus just with your visa card! Next time I'll try renting a bike because there are lots of people cycling and it doesn't seem too dangerous.Monika - 8.0Scored 8.0
Beautiful old buildings and churches.
Beautiful old buildings and churches. Lots of shopping opportunities and places to eat. The heat and humidity spoiled our stay as it made walking around exhausting. The worst experience was the queues at the airport. 3 separate queues totalling 2 hours! The Marconi Express was a disgrace. Totally overpriced at eur25.80 for 2 for a 7 minute journey. The monorail was too fast. There were only a few seats with the rest of the travellers jam packed and standing in the remaining small space. We were all being thrown around, hanging on for dear life. An awful, quite frightening experience. I'm sure Marconi would be disgusted at being linked to this awful service.JoanUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0
Great food, lots of history and architecture.
Great food, lots of history and architecture. Friendly and felt safe at all times. The centre has loads of restaurants and is easily walkable, especially at the weekend when it is fully pedestrianised.

I've waited to visit Bologna for years and when I finally got there it did not disappoint. This must be the coolest city in the world. Culture, amazing food, lots of live music, friendly people. I felt safe travelling alone here.LorraineUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

Bologna is perfect to visit on foot (visitor cars cannot come inside the ZTL without a fine), with a compact old centre and lots of interesting shops, restaurants, cafes and historic buildings. A lively vibrant city, but it does also seem to have a fair number of homeless and beggars, particularly by the railway station and nearby park, which are not recommended as places for tourists to venture after dark. We passed through the station in the daytime and it seemed fairly safe, although completely chaotic, with hopeless signage to the different exits. The night we arrived, we were very late due to a delayed flight, and there were no restaurants open. We were lucky to happen upon a late night pizza kiosk and gratefully bought takeaway beer and pizza. It seems as though restaurants generally stop serving around 9.30 - 10pm, so if you're arriving late, your options may be limited! One thing that may be a little off the typical tourist trail is to go looking for Bologna's hidden canals - these can be spotted in various places around the Via Piella, where there are also places to eat overlooking the waterways.

Bologna is a fantastic city. The food was amazing.
Bologna is a fantastic city. The food was amazing. The was plenty to see and do and the people were friendly. We walked several miles of the streets to seekout what was published and happen upon things we did no know of that were quite interesting. Bologna ideally located. We plan to return for an extended stay to act as a base point to visit other cities via rail. La Taverna Di Roberto is a fantastic place to eat. We returned there for our last night. Bologna City Walking tour was a great way to learn the city and history and determine what you wanted to go back to spend more time. Taxis are relatively inexpensiver compared to other cities in Italy and a great what to get to the airport or train. Avoid booking a Stay at a place called Home Sweet Luxury. It is not at all what it is advertised and horrible living conditions.

- From $138.94 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 155 reviewsLocation wise it’s ok about 15 mins to city centre, 25 mins to Bologna Centrale. The studio room is quite small but everything you need is there. I cooked eggs for breakfast and I love the coffee machine! There were also some snacks on the fridge and on the cupboard. It’s actually my first holiday using an apartment as I prefer to stay in a hotel, but when I was looking for a place to stay at that time, there were only 5 hotels available and majority are bed and breakfast/studio type so I decided to give it a try
BernardUnited Kingdom - 8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 283 reviewsThe room is exactly as in the photos. It is very convenient because the stop of the bus to Bologna Central Station is a step away from the entrance of the building. Very clean and nice. The building itself is located next to a small, quiet park. The apartment has a shared kitchen with two other apartments. I forgot some stuff in the fridge. I called the owner, Roberta, and she was very accommodating to pass it on to a company that handles lost luggage at hotels, for which I thank her very much.

- From $235.13 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 2,364 reviewsWell located hotel in the heart of Bologna. We were upgraded to a junior suite which was spacious and comfortable. Good air conditioning and shutters made the room cool during some very hot weather. Good breakfast and coffee made to order. Great service from staff. The rooftop bar was good - drinks were a little on the expensive side but they were excellent and the complimentary snacks were the best we got in Italy.
NatashaAustralia - 8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 1,101 reviewsI 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.
