After being shell-shocked by prices in other parts of Italy, Paradise Hotel offered an excellent value for our family of four. We stayed in a studio apartment that perfectly met our needs and had the nicest of any bathroom we had during our ten days in Italy. Our only regret was only staying in Bologna for one night.

Hotel Paradise is a real paradise in the center of Bologna. The hotel is located in a quiet street, close to everything: - the airbus station is about 30 m /via Independenza/ - the central railway station and the central bus stations are both around 500-600 m - the historical city center - 300 m The hotel is wonderful.

Spent two nights at Hotel Paradise, and it's hard to stop saying good things about it. Location is great -- a 12-14 minute walk from Bologna Centrale station, even in a mild rain -- much of the route (as well as much of Bologna) is under covered arcades. Located on a quiet back-street corner, amidst a number of "typico" local... More

Hotel offers excellent value because of the wonderful staff, comfortable rooms, and its central location. We were pleased to find our room well-lit, unlike in so many other hotels. Somewhat inconvenient not having coffee or tea-making amenities in the room, but Reception was kind enough to give us hot water in a jug, or make us an Espresso for 1... More

I stayed here overnight before an early-morning flight from Bologna. I wanted somewhere inexpensive and close to both the station and the old city, so I could walk from my train but also take a quick look around the city centre before flying home. This hotel fit the bill perfectly. My single room was pleasant and clean, and the staff... More

We stayed at Hotel Paradise for the last two nights of our two week trip to Italy. We searched hotels mostly through reviews on Trip Advisor and Venere, but were looking at price and location as the most important factors. This one hit both perfectly, walking distance to the central train station (which we walked to upon our departure), walking... More

I enjoyed the stay at Paradise hotel - very central, between Piazza Maggiore and Central station, and also to University area. Easy reach from/to airport, which we took airbus (BLQ, 6 euros every 15min) - get off / on at 'ARENA DEL SOLE' and hotel is 50 meters away. The staff are very helpful and friendly. In the room, there... More

A really good hotel in a very central location. Lots of good restaurants nearby and 20 metres from main shopping street. The staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly. The breakfast has good variety and they even provided one for us on out last morning when we had to be at the airport for 4.30am!!! I would definitely recommend the Paradise... More

For a similar price that we would pay for a hotel room, we were very pleased with our studio apartment. It was newly decorated, very spacious and spotlessly clean. Ideal if you are wanting to eat-in after buying up at the Bologna markets. We had heard that Bologna was the 'home of good food' and we weren't disappointed. The hotel... More

The location is very central and you have acces to all bus lines, which is important. The price this time of year (cosmOprof bologna) is very high. The best rates you get if you stay 3 or more in the same room. These rooms are not very big, but is enought for 3 persons. More
