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 better than in this medieval gem.
Bolognese sauce of course originated here, but to try the real thing look out 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 savour their food, so a meal can last for hours.
Many of the best eateries and homemade ice cream shops can be found behind the mile upon mile of porticoed streets, now UNESCO World Heritage listed. 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 over this red-roofed 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 are the buildings of Europe’s oldest university, founded in 1088 and home to the city’s best museums.
Bologna accommodation on Booking.com ranges from small B&Bs to luxury hotels, all easily accessible from Bologna Airport just outside the city.

Lovely walking there. Great architecture. Many km of mostly pretty porticoes. Lovely squares. Good galleries and museums. Good food from market stalls and restaurants. Easy to visit nearby towns by train. We will be back.

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!AAnonymous - 10Scored 10
I found Bologna a very beautiful city.
I found Bologna a very beautiful city. Easy to walk around with many interesting buildings. I am 78 and found walking easy. I found the hop on and off bus excelkent value . 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.AAnonymousUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
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:)ÖmürTurkey

- 8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 2,666 reviewsCheck 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)JackieUnited Kingdom
- 9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 357 reviewsThe 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.

StefanMontenegro - From £350.85 per night9.3Scored 9.3SuperbRated superb· 306 reviewsI loved the full service! Taxi collection from the airport, the location of the property being right in the heart of Bologna, entrance to the flat via special key code, the awesomeness of the accommodation and communication with the host. Property was beautiful, spotlessly clean and it had everything one can wish for in a 5* hotel. Seriously, I was so happy I have booked this property and once I return, I sure will come back here. Simply wow!!!! And big thanks goes to its owner!!
EM0501Czech Republic - From £154.27 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 1,650 reviewsThe location was ideal for seeing the sites and tasting the "eats" of Bologna, a short walk from the Piazza Maggione as well as Bologna Centrale train station, and the central market for fresh food. As a solo female traveler, I also felt that the location was secure and safe. There was always someone present at the front desk during my comings and goings. There was also a lock code on the front door of the hotel for entry after 11 pm.KarenUnited States

- From £84 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 1,599 reviewsThe 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.AnthonyGermany
