NH Bologna de la Gare
8/10 Good
"This was actually a great location - not too far from the university and historic center and very close to bus and train stations. There was an international festival when we were there, so that made it loud on the terrace at night, and we had to keep asking for coffee refills, plus there were sometimes a lot of conference people, making service a little difficult, but other than that, it was very pleasant! Nice, big rooms and bathrooms."

Hotel Internazionale
6/10 Okay
"The room was clean and the staff were very helpful . The property in general seemed very run down . The walls were scuffed. The bed was very uncomfortable. So if you in town for the night and need a quick place to lay your head it’s fine . However I wouldn’t stay here for my actual vacation."
UNA Hotels Bologna Centro
6/10 Okay
"The staff was wonderful and the bar tenders were incredible. The hotel need to be updated for sure. Good value. A little too close to the train station. The room cleaners could not communicate and never gave me the coffee and menu bar refills as requested. I stayed there for 5 nights and it was easy to get around from here to the whole region If you like orange this is your place"
Fly On Hotel
4/10 Poor
