Antica Residenza D'Azeglio is in Bologna city centre, a 5-minute walk from Piazza Maggiore. It offers free Wi-Fi, and air-conditioned rooms with satellite LCD TV and private bathroom.

The elegant rooms include a CD and DVD player, together with relaxing bathrobe and slippers.

Antica Residenza is a lovely B & B. It is located close to a number of museums, restaurants and historic sights. The rooms and breakfast room spoke of old-warm charm. The bed was large and very comfortable, and the breakfast varied with fruits, yogurt, breads and meat. The coffee was great - rich and dark. Our host, Agostino was delightful - interesting, informative, and helpful. This place is a gem which we highly recommend.

The 4-star Starhotels Excelsior is opposite Bologna Train Station and the airport bus terminal. It offers free WiFi throughout, modern interiors, a gourmet restaurant and a free gym. The Bologna Exhibition Centre is 2 km away.

I admit I chose this hotel mostly based on the logistics of my trip. Being just opposite the main railway station was the most important decision point at the time. However, once I arrived at the Excelsior and throughout my short stay I felt so happy to have chosen it among other similarly looking options. I can not give enough praise to the people working at the reception desk. They were all so friendly beyond just expected professional politeness. It really creates a different experience right away. Then everything else worked perfectly fine with the comfortable and quiet room (even though facing the main street in front of the station). I was also very pleased when I realized that I can watch World Cup games in the room as the tv actually worked (too many times I saw this part of in-room experience neglected). To sum it up, I'll be happy to visit the Excelsior again.

    What a gorgeous find this hotel was! A lovely little boutique hotel tucked away with a beautiful courtyard (sadly I brought the rain with me from Manchester so I couldn’t enjoy it). Breakfast was divine and the staff in the restaurant were lovely - remembering my coffee order from the day before so I didn’t even need to ask, was a nice touch and much appreciated. Highly recommended and i would definitely stay here again
