I sent a night at hotel university for a weekend on the town with 7 friends, we had 2 rooms, both nice and clean, the bathrooms are a bit small, but no bathroom is big enough for 4 girls in the same room! We reached Bologna by train and the hotel is close enough to be reached walking, but far... More

There are 70,000 students in Bologna. This hotel is in the middle of the university area. The students carouse in the streets until 4:00 when the weather is warm. The hotel does not have any internal rooms where you are safe. I have heard that the Accademia is just as bad. More

Although this is an older hotel, I found the public spaces and guestrooms to be clean, well maintained, and a great value. The staff is uniformly knowledgeable, helpful, and cheery. More

I stayed here twice, the first time I extended my booking 1 day, the second time I extended 2 days.... that should say something. I enjoyed my stay here, the room was nice, both times. I left behind a valuable item the first time, I rang that day and they kept it at the front counter for me. The WiFi... More

We chose the University hotel because it was fairly central so we could walk out to the centre + to the restaurants. Reviews on TripAdvisor did mention it could get noisy, because it is in the going out centre (actually our girlie neighbours were more of a nuisance than the people on the street. But compared to other hotels, this... More

We stayed in this hotel one night, and we chose it 'cause it was near the meeting point with some of our friends. It's near piazza Maggiore (5 min walking) in a quiet location. We didn't try the breakfast, but the room was clean and comfortable, nothing special but ok. More

Overall the cleaning could be done a lot better. The table cloths were stained and stayed on the tables on for our entire stay in the breakfast area. The bed cover was badly stained. The extra blankets did not look too shabby either and the room was cold at times. The sheets were changed after 3 days and towels were... More

A really nice hotel, centrally located, friendly staff, clean, comfotable rooms and a good powerful shower. However the noise from the bar below was terrible and went on until 4:30-5am for the 3 nights we stayed there. We were on the top floor and even at the end of November in the freezing cold the noise of people singing, shouting... More

We've stayed here twice, and it's a great little hotel! The location is ideal -- very central and easy to find. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the staff is exceedingly friendly, helpful and welcoming. And, on top of this, it's not super expensive to stay there! Despite previous reviews about noise, we actually found it to be quite... More

Me and a friend stayed in this hotel for 2 nights and loved every minuite of it! Admitedly when we turned the corner onto Via Metana we thought the hotel was going to be a dump because it didn't look that good, however, we were pleasantly suprised. The reception staff were helpful and when we got to our room on... More
