Royal Hotel Carlton

Royal Hotel Carlton

10/10 Excellent
"Had a great experience at the Royal Hotel Carlton in Bologna! The staff were super friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The room was clean, comfortable, and way more spacious than we expected for a central hotel. Plus, the location is perfect—right near the shopping hub of Via dell'Indipendenza and an easy walk to the city center. Highly recommended!"
