"There is no front desk so one must use multiple keypads for the front entrance, the room, and the luggage storage area. The apartment was very nice, with a big bed, big balcony, and delightful hot tub. The air conditioning is not American air conditioning but it is within the usual standard for Europe. The wifi is very good. One word of warning however, and this is by no means specific to this lodging--I think Americans see that something has an elevator and think that it must be at least...

Top Piazza Maggiore Hotel Reviews

Royal Hotel Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"Older hotel but well located and has a wonderful staff"

Hotel Internazionale

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very nice stay. They also have a garage if you are driving."

NH Bologna de la Gare

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, clean, spacious room"

Phi Hotel Bologna

8/10 Good

"Very good hotel! Super friendly staff, AC, elevators, close to piazza magiore! The bed could be more comfortable but honestly that’s a minor detail. Great stay overall!"

Art Hotel Commercianti

8/10 Good

"The Art Hotel was very nice, and lived up to its name, with beautiful pieces of art attractively displayed throughout. I would give in 4.5, and not a 5, only because the brewed coffee in the dining room was terrible, and things that should have been hot, were not. That included the scrambled eggs, bacon, side vegetables, and aforementioned coffee and hot water. It was like the food warmers and hot pots were not ever turned on. We were there 4 nights, and it was the same each morning. Other than that, food was excellent, and location couldn't be beat."

Hotel Brun

10/10 Excellent

"My favourite hotel in Bologna. Location is fantastic and so central and the rooms are super quiet with super comfortable beds. Staff were super helpful with restaurant recommendations. Lovely breakfast also with some cook to order hot dishes."

Hotel Palace Bologna Centro

8/10 Good

"Very quirky suite with lovely paintings adorning the walls. Floors were a bit creaky in that you could hear people upstairs, but, you get used to it. Ideal location as only a 5 minute stroll from the Piazza Majiore and all the adjacent bars and restaurants."

Albergo Panorama

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place near by the city centre. Staff were super friendly and helpful."

Hotel Roma

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"
