Royal Hotel Carlton

10/10 Excellent
"Great location, friendly staff AMAZING breakfast. Blocks from both the city center and the train station. There's a grocery store around the corner. The hotel is spacious, comfortable and well maintained. The only issue we reported was mold in the bathtub. This will be my hotel to go in Bologna. I strongly recommend it for a comfortable stay in Bologna."
