Bologna Hotels with Breakfast

This hotel was handily situated close to the central railway station. There was a nice big lobby and lounge area to relax in after a day out. Staff were polite and helpful, especially Tommaso. The main street is just around the corner. The room was quite small but very comfortable and well-lit. I slept very well in a nice big bed with great mattress and pillows. The shower was great with lots of hot water and good pressure. Finally, the breakfast was superb. I recommend opting for breakfast when booking.

Very nice hotel, centrally located directly opposite the main train station. The rooms are spacious and lovely with very good, adjustable air conditioning. The breakfast buffet is extensive with both hot and cold options, and nothing was missing. The only minor complaint is the hotel entrance; it's a revolving door that's quite narrow, making it difficult for guests with large, bulky luggage to get through.

We stayed here as our main hotel while travelling to other cities, and it was such a great choice. The hotel is really close to the train station, which made everything so convenient for our family. From the outside and entrance, it may not look very special at first, but once you walk inside, the atmosphere feels warm, cosy, and welcoming. The staff were all very kind and friendly, and they made us feel comfortable during our stay. The room was very clean, the bed was soft and comfortable, and the bathroom was excellent especially the shower with strong water pressure, which we really loved after a long day of travelling. The TV was big, and there was also a fridge in the room, which was very useful. Breakfast was not huge, but there was still plenty of choice and enough to enjoy a full meal every morning. Everything about this hotel felt perfect for us. We all really liked this hotel very much, and if possible, I would definitely love to stay here again in the future.

The hotel was only a 15-20-minute walk from the train station. The rooms were much bigger than expected with a comfy couch (and blankets) and TV. There was also an Alexa set up and she played music when directed and was pleasant. The kitchenette had ample utensils and cookware, but no napkins or paper towels. They supplied cold water in a pitcher as well as several bottles of wine (NOT complementary, but reasonably priced. The prices on the list in the room differed from the prices at the front desk, tho.) The complementary slippers were used every day as the tile floors were chilly. There was always enough hot water in the showers, but one bathroom light was out the whole time we were there (reported it to the front desk on the first day and they said they already knew about it, but were waiting on maintenance to fix. We had to make due without it for the six days we were there.) There were instructions on how to use each of the appliances (much appreciated!). It was a short walk to restaurants and cafes and the shopping district. Great accommodations for the price point and lots of room.

In the academically rich city of Bologna, this hostel far exceeded my expectations. The location is superb, within walking distance to the Old Town, the Two Towers, Piazza Maggiore, and the University of Bologna. It's also very convenient for reaching the central train station, making it perfect for city sightseeing and day trips to nearby Modena and Ravenna. The dorm rooms are clean and fresh, with each bunk bed featuring a privacy curtain, individual charging socket, and ample locker space. The communal bathrooms are well-maintained with stable and abundant hot water. The staff are warm and friendly, knowledgeable about local cuisine and attractions, and patiently recommend authentic restaurants and sightseeing routes. The common areas have a relaxed and lively atmosphere, where you can meet young backpackers from all over the world and share travel stories. The communal kitchen is well-equipped for simple cooking. Overall, it's safe, comfortable, and offers outstanding value for money. Whether for a short layover or an in-depth exploration of Bologna, it's an excellent base for backpackers. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Bologna. Highly recommended!

The hotel actually looks better than in the photos, and the location is excellent. There are many great restaurants within a 20-minute walk. It's also not far from the Neptune Fountain and the Twin Towers. The front desk service was excellent throughout our stay. A hidden gem is the free water dispenser located on the first-floor landing of the stairs, which was a nice touch. The city isn't large but feels very cozy.

The hostel provides you with the bare necessities, such as a comfortable bed, a spacious room and locker including a lock, and a small bedlight and socket. Unfortunately, that is also literally it and nothing more. There are no curtains for the beds. The bathroom is super weirdly laid out; there is a bathroom with shower, the only toilet and a sink behind a door; then in front of that, there is another sink and a shower. WITH NO DOOR. Making this shower literally unusable. There are two light switches in the bathroom, one that turns on the light in the back bathroom (behind the door) AND a light for the front sink. This means that, if people are sleeping in the bed next to the bathroom, there is literally light shining directly on their face and all the sounds. A problem easily solved by adding a door and curtains on the beds. The bathrooms didn’t have hand soap (they were empty) or any shower amenities (no shower gel). You have to pay if you want a towel, and you also have to make your own bed. There is also a lot of noise from the neighbours, what seems like a student accommodation. At this kind of price range, the level of amenities is terribly disappointing and could be easily solved. I have stayed in hostels all over the world and sadly this one was just one of two options in Bologna, so not much choice. There are really a lot of simple improvements possible that would have made it worth it, but I really cannot say this is value for money at all.

Downtown; convenient; the room is small but at least clean and quite intentional. Other gods don't have to expect too much. Of course there is no elevator and you need to pay attention. Of course the hotel will also notify in advance

I enjoyed my stay at the Astor :) the room had a funny smell, the breakfast was very uninspiring, and one could hear every noise from every corner all the time, but the room also was large and comfortable and the bathroom was good and everyone on staff was very friendly and helpful - it was a relief to stay at a place where it felt a lot like being at home. I definitely would stay again.

This room had a fan but no AC. It was so hot I could not sleep. The shower is so small I could hardly bath without making a mess of water on the floor. The bathroom fan was malfunctioning making a loud noise when the light is on. The  door has to be locked with a key from inside. It seems dangerous to me. All furniture was very old. I would not recommend this room and will not stay there again.
