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.

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...
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.ArthurUnited States - 10Scored 10
A lovely and unique city with miles of covered walkways...
A lovely and unique city with miles of covered walkways which were both practical (keeping you dry and cool) and architecturally interesting. The city is very walkable with lots of interesting buildings, good restaurants and cafes. It seemed much less touristy than Rome or Florence. You get a sense of being amongst locals going about their day to day business. Giardini Margherita is beautiful and worth a visit. The walk up to The Santuario di Madonna di San Luca is also worthwhile and a very good workout with 471 steps and 3.8km of covered walkway!AnneUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0
Beautiful historic city with most attractions easily...
Beautiful historic city with most attractions easily accessible by foot. The Archaeological Museum and Pinacoteca Nazionale were highlights. San Luca Sanctuary walk was spectacular but quite a lot of uphill; best done in the morning, to arrive in time for the skydome access which opens at 10am.TimothyNew Zealand - 10Scored 10
Bologna is steeped in history.
Bologna is steeped in history. I recommend doing a guided walking tour and the San Luca express to the Basilica. The shopping was also pretty good. Bologna is also a sports city with Imola about half-hour away from Bologna (Emilia Romagna Formula One). The soccer stadium is also fairly close to the historic city centre. Bologna is a gastronomic delight - fresh Parmigiano Reggiano, aged to perfection. Fresh pasta, handmade. And the gelato!GillianCanada

- From € 204.75 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 2,161 reviewsOld Bologna building reflecting city atmosphere. Located so close to Piazza Maggiore which is the heart of city. Be prepared for the smells coming outside cause there is beautiful flower shop just across the street also lots of marcados nearby. If you do not like raw fish smells be prepared cause there is another local store near the entrance of hotel, it hadn’t bother me. Staff were so helpful even they made me a small city route that I just had 3 or 4 hours in Bologna. You’ll adore rustic decoration of both room and lobby.TAYLANTurkey
- From € 190 per night9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 753 reviewsThis property was perfectly located for a visit to Bologna. A 10min walk from the station and you are there, and it’s only 10 more minutes to get to the centre of town. The property was modern, new, exceptionally clean and had everything we needed! It was such a great value for money, and everything was exceptional. The included breakfast was delicious, and the staff and owner were incredibly friendly and accommodating, giving us as many suggestions and recommendations for sight seeing as we needed. Our best stay in Italy!
MichaelSouth Africa - From € 129.97 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 869 reviewsLuckily, I booked this place, because the reception was open very late, with a friendly guy there to greet me and check me in! Flight was delayed 6 hours (Thanks, RyanAir) and I arrived at the airport at 02:30! There were taxis available (thank God!) at BLQ at that hour! Arrived at the hotel at 03:00. The guy was kind and caring, and personable, and the check-in was fast and easy. I will definitely stay there again. Also, a 6 minute walk to Bologna Centrale train station! Very cute hotel - loved the eclectic decor.KellieUnited States
- From € 144 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

The house was magnificant, renovated art deco building from the 1930s. The room was TOP-Notch. Host helped us plan our Italy stay and warned us about flooded roads which was very helpfull. The bus stopped right outside and took you for 1 euro to central Bologna. Breakfast was nice and familier. Highly recommend. We will stay here next time we visit Bologna for sure.

MarkUnited Kingdom - From € 98.01 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 5,065 reviewsWe are staying at this hotel for the second time. The first time was during the pandemic. It is much more relaxed now. We have been using Bologna as a gateway to other parts of Italy and this hotel is ideal for late of early flights to and from Bologna Airport. I managed to walk around a little bit and I saw that there was a commercial centre not far from the hotel. We also had a dinner at the restaurant and the food was amazing.
AtanasUnited Kingdom - From € 100 per night7.5Scored 7.5GoodRated good· 12,339 reviewsAs our plane has a delay we landed in Bologna after midnight and the shuttle didn't work at that time. The hotel is 20 min walking from the airport which is good to have a walk after siting in the plane for 2-3hours. (We wasn't lucky to find a taxi below 20€-30€ which is quite a lot for 2.5km 6min drive) However on the next day the shuttle bus from the hotel to the airport is very convenient, comfy and quick.TeodorBulgaria
