We used Bologna as a base and did mulitple day trips to cities in the region. We appreciated the friendly, personal service and good advice from the staff. The hotel has all of the modern amenities we have come to expect, but the feel of a small Italian hotel in the city center. more

This is a perfectly good hotel, although I would suggest that it isn't quite as sleek as the website shows. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fine for me, though there didn't seem to be anything hot apart from toast. The location is very central, yet not at all noisy and I would have been happy to stay... more

I am glad I chose the wonderful city of Bologna as my first place to visit in Italy, and even more pleased I stayed here at the Art Hotel Novecento because first impressions count as far as I'm concerned.

Bologna itself is a delight.... more

The Novecento is a true four star hotel in a very good location in the heart of Bologna. We had a fantastic light and spacious room on the top floor with lovely views over the rooftops. No details were overlooked, and there was a real sense of luxury about the place. The decor is striking, in a distinctive Art Nouveau... more

Great rooms with even greater bathrooms. Friendly staff and some of the best breakfast spread that I have had in Europe .... healthy and very fresh more

We loved the posh retro 30's decor in this boutique hotel. The rooms were decent sized and functionally laid out with two chairs, a flat screen tv, a minibar, tea/instant coffee service, and firm beds. The gorgeous huge bathroom included all the amenities (soap, body wash/shampoo, shoeshine sponge, sewing kit, shower cap), plus hilarious plush cheetah-print bathrobes! We had a... more
