We ended up here because our B&B was a no show and the other recommended hotel was full. The carpet was filthy and smelled and the decor was dark and dreary. The bathroom was spotless, though. The staff was helpful, since our A/C didn't seem to work, we inquired and it needed to be turned on by them. Breakfast was... More

we wouldn't stay if we didn't have to. very poor standard. shower is disappointing. More

This hotel is way too far, about 1.5 kilometers, from the main piazza and if you want to see the sights it is better to stay near the Duomo/piazza where there are excellent cheap hotels. While they are further from the railway station, a taxi to the station is only a few euros. As for this hotel, my room had... More

I recommend this hotel to people who need a nice and clean hotel for a good price. There is free Wi-Fi, there's a private car park for an additional € 12 and the receptionist is very helpful. It's not bang in the city centre but close enough to walk (20-25mins). There are lots of restaurants nearby on Via Augusto Righi... More

My first impressions of this awful hotel was long grass, weeds and dirt outside the entrance-looked like it had not been swept for weeks. We would not have gone in had we not booked in the train station in Florence and paid in advance. (never again). We had asked for a double but were offered a twin on arrival. After... More

Stayed in Bologna to take short day trips to nearby towns so wanted to be close to train. It was bittersweet, as the hotel is 2 blocks from the station but is at least a 20 min walk from Bologna's historic center. This hotel was a great value though, especially for a single traveller. The lady receptionist was extremely friendly... More

This is a great hotel situated near the city center but outside the limited traffic zone. We actually stayed in one of several apartments they have. Ours was about 300 meters from the hotel proper toward the center of town (Piazza Maggiore), which was about a 10 minute walk. We loved the convenience of having an apt with a small... More

Good clean apartments in a large building a short walk from the station. An interesting lift part of the experience (5th floor so not one for those who dont like small old lifts!) OK breakfast but good value and easy walk into the centre of Bologna. Would return for the right price! More

I stayed in Bologna for a week in January of 2008. The Astoria is a nice clean hotel that is convenient to the train station and also the central city sites. Everything within walking distance. The hotel staff is very friendly and most front desk staff have some English. The hotel has many ammenities like free bike rental and tours,... More
