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 city that may not immediately draw you in with its aesthetic. It has a charm that you have to get to know, and gastronomically, it's still unbearable for me. It is small enough to walk anywhere close or within the walls, and has plenty of green space outside the walls to explore via car, bike, or bus. The food is yummy pretty much anywhere you go, with some places blowing your mind. All in all, worth a 3-day visit.

    It's a fascinating and beautiful city - at least in the old, central part of town where we stayed. Great ambiance, great art, great architecture, great ancient University. Walking around the old city is easy. The ancient market area was really fun. We enjoyed the dissection theater of the ancient University medical school.

    We have done a lot of travelling in Italy and when we decided to stay in one place for a month we choose Bologna. Plenty to do in the city, the food...oh the food and the location for doing day trips to Parma, Modena, Ravenna, Ferrara is so easy. Being a university town it has vibrant energy, highly recommended.

    Bologna is a complex city with a large historic center.

    Bologna is a complex city with a large historic center. We have been there 3 times. We did not enjoy the 1st 2 visits. Simply put, we didn't spend enough time wandering through town. It's best experienced by strolling thorough various neighborhoods. We walked through the Quadrilatero, University, Piazza Maggiore, and San Stefano. We liked Bologna's little Venice. Bologna is filled with restaurants, Trattorias, Osterias, bars and specialty shops. One recommendation: on the weekend, you must absolutely get reservations for the more popular restaurants or you aren't getting in.

    Less well know than Venice, Florence, etc, Bologna is a magical city, the food capital of Italy and with a well preserved historical centre. A frequent visitor to Bologna since 1998, the city never disappoints and I am always eagerly looking forward to next time. Favourite restaurant: Da Silvio (Via San Petronio Vecchio), favourite bar: Le Stanze (aka The Chapel Bar) plus usual suspects, great for breakfast: QC Corner close to Hotel San Donato.

    A lot of museums and historic places worth visiting plus very cheap entrance fees - 6-10 euro. The only disadvantage was that the public transport was on strike on September 22nd and commuting was very difficult.

  • Hotel Giardinetto Al Sant'Orsola

    From $134.46 per night
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.9
    Good - What previous guests thought, 2,190 reviews
    I was travelling for work and was not looking for something luxury and that place has covered completely expectations. It was comfy, tidy and clean. Very well situated as it is at a short driving distance from the Bologna Fair and at just 10 minutes walking distance from the ideal center. The room was nice and not suitable only for work travellers but also for leisure travelling. There are parking spaces just in front of the hotel door but for sure a pre booking is needed as the places are limited.

    We had to pick up our friends, arrived in airport Bologna, and then drive further down to Toskana. We already stayed in this hotel several years ago and found it very conveniently located fir our needs. Also we were very pleased by hospitality and comfort. Therefore this time we had no questions where to spend a night. Room was very comfortable and calm although hotel is situated between airport and highway. It is surrounded by trees and makes feeling your vacation has been started.

    I'd recommend the hotel for anyone staying in Bologna. The staff were friendly and accommodating, especially when the key to my hotel room broke. The breakfast was basic, but it matches your needs as a traveller. The location is also central. It's on the edge of the centre, but still in the centre nevertheless. I didn't like the walk in shower in the room though. It had no shower head, which I do prefer to have. Otherwise, I enjoyed my experience here.

    Perfect place to stay, small, comfortable, clean and cozy & the hotel owner is very friendly. By walk: around 20-30 min to the city center, 30 min to the main train station Bologna Centrale, 10 min to the bus station Ospedale Maggiore, from where the bus goes to the airport.
