to get started.

On arrival, reception was delightful and helpful. Our room, although small, was lovely. It even had a little balcony. Bathroom was pretty and efficient. The location of the hotel was convenient and quiet. Breakfast room was comfortable and reasonably priced. We enjoyed our stay here.

Location was great. Recommendation for dinner was excellent.

Debra

United States of America

The property is in the heart of Bologna with a quick walk to the main square. The location was ideal and the room was still very quiet. The room was very modern with a comfortable bed, large shower, and up to date amenities including a Keurig for espresso. We were excited that we had a PORCH connected to our room which was amazing to just sit and enjoy the morning with coffee or afternoon spritz. Staff were extremely kind and helped us find a place for dinner the first night after striking out at 4 different restaurants due to not having a reservation. The rooftop was a nice place to sit and have a drink at the end of the day. We would stay at this location again due to location and staff.

Very good service..... max, who served us drinks on the roof deck was unbelievable.... such a nice man. Made our short trip to bologna something to remember!

Victor

Great location and staff. Clean, comfortable beds, big bathroom. Cocktails on the roof were fantastic!

Caitlin

Super friendly staff, very nice hotel with great design, excellent location. Loved the rooftop bar with the views of the city.

Itai

United States of America

We were in the annex- it is an acceptable location. We made our own coffee in the morning. It is about 2 blocks away from the hotel in the pictures I would take the clients there on the main road, not the alleys. Once we started accessing it from the main streets, it was great. We loved how quite it was. We would stay there again.

Timothy

United States of America

Great location, clean, roof terrace, food/bar service professionals

Holly

United States of America

Excellent location, in city center, easy walking distance to central train station, historic sites, museums, restaurants, while at the same time being quiet quiet because it is located on a small side street. Great base to explore Bologna, as well as the surrounding Emilia-Romagna area (e.g., Ravenna, Modena, Parma, Ferrara) due to great train connections from the Bologna station. Staff very helpful and efficient. Nice large room (we stayed in one of the olive courtyard rooms).

Jeanne

Great location and great price. We stayed in the apartment and loved the extra room and mini kitchen! I would also recommend the Bologna food tour to get to know the city, it was fantastic and close to hotel also!

We had a lovely stay at Hotel Metropolitan. The location is perfect, right in the city centre, just a minute from the main square and within walking distance of the main sites in the centre. The room was spacious and pleasant, with a good shower and coffee/tea making facilities. A special mention must be made of the breakfast! This consisted of a variety of small freshly-made savory dishes (something different every morning), a range of small cakes and sweet pastries, fresh fruits and yoghurts. All in all, a great start of the day. Also, the staff, at reception as well as at breakfast, was very attentive and helpful.
