Travelers who stayed in Bologna near Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ) have said good things about Hotel EMI, Hotel Del Borgo, and Villa Aretusi.
World-class cuisine is what Bologna does best. Nowhere in Italy, a country with considerable culinary heritage, is the food considered to be better than in this medieval gem.
Bolognese sauce of course originated here, but to try the real thing look for "ragú" on the menu. Cold meats and cheeses are also exquisite. Make sure you save plenty of time for eating – the Bolognese like to savor their food, so a meal can last for hours.
Many of the best eateries and homemade ice cream shops are found behind the mile upon mile of porticoed streets, now UNESCO World Heritage sites. The complex of medieval churches and buildings in cobbled Piazza Santo Stefano is a tranquil spot to explore. Climb one of the Two Towers nearby (not the one leaning at a startling angle) for spectacular views of this red-roof city.
The focal point of Bologna is huge Piazza Maggiore, whose Santo Petronio church has an unimpressive, half-finished façade that doesn’t prepare you for its sheer scale inside. Fanning out from this square, the buildings of Europe’s oldest university, founded in 1088, are home to the city’s best museums.
Bologna accommodations at Booking.com range from small B&Bs to luxury hotels, all easily accessible from Bologna Airport just outside the city.
Lovely walking there. Great architecture. Many km of mostly pretty porticoes. Lovely squares. Good galleries and museums. Good food from market stalls and restaurants. Easy to visit nearby towns by train. We will be back.

Bologna is a lovely city with many historic buildings and museums and dozens of fabulous restaurants. It's also a convenient centre to reach other interesting Italian cities by a short rail journey. This time we visited Ferrara and Faenza. Last visit we had a day in Modena and a few days in Ravenna. Neither Venezia nor Firenze are too far for a day trip. Maybe next time though there's still Parma and Verona on the bucket list.

Everything is great about Bologna especially if you're a young person. Great food, not very expensive and mostly positive and friendly people. A lot of students in Giuseppe Verdi Plaza was great to see. There's plenty of cheap food that is high quality but even the high end restaurants are not very expensive. Nice architecture and everything is close together (train station, city center etc). I loved Bologna there's nothing not to like about it!

Very interesting city. Very walkable.
Very interesting city. Very walkable. The university area is fascinating as is the history of the town - underground canal system, oldest university, etc. It is slightly less busy that other major Italian cities. Great food and nice vibe with it still feeling like a university town (youthful). Had an especially good meal at Da Nello's near Piazza Maggiore. Lots of construction and restoration going on but it didn't really detract too much.

One of the most beautiful cities of Europe, the weather was great and there was a great crowd on the streets. The food n people are nice. You can find history in every corner.
We walked almost everywhere.
Had an eating tour which was very nice.. Go to Via Pescherie Vecchie, for sure you'll find a spot to dine:)
If you have few days you can take a tour to Ravenna to see Dante's tomb, the famous mosaics n have lunch at the Mercato Coperto.
I didn't get enough, sure will go back:)
Excellent location, about 15 minutes from the train station (very easy to find) and about 10 minutes into the centre. The hotel was clean and quiet. There is a lift, plugs next to the bed and toiletries provided. There are vending machines for hot drinks & snacks. My room was basic - no TV, there was a fridge & hairdryer provided, 2 huge windows so it was nice and bright. The staff, particularly Antonella (I think this is her name!) are fantastic - friendly, welcoming, helpful. I would definitely stay here again if I was in Bologna.
Small compact hotel that is an oasis with lovely small garden with diverse mature pines & conifers on the outskirts of Bologna, convenient to the airport in a slightly commercial area. Lovely mosaic pebbled ground floor reception & dining area, with lovely paintings too. Bedrooms with lovely high ceilings, minimalist nice touches ie the ringed ceiling lampshade, comfy beds with funky orange bed heads, lovely tiled bathrooms with marble effect, nice shower. Nice decor, particularly the red chairs in dining area. Nice breakfast
Camplus Guest Bononia Casa per Ferie is a hotel in Bologna, Italy that offers free Wi-Fi, parking, a gym, a 24-hour reception service, and a complimentary breakfast at the canteen. It is near the University of Bologna area and the BolognaFiere Exhibition Center.
Some of the positive aspects of this hotel are:
• The staff is friendly, helpful, and professional.
• The rooms are clean, comfortable, and modern.
• The breakfast is varied, tasty, and generous.
• The price is reasonable and affordable.
Hotel is in an excellent location, 2 minute walk from the main train station.
Travelling to other cities and to the airport was made very easy as the train station was so close.
I found the area safe and quiet and walked back to the hotel every night when it was dark and had no issues.
Staff were exceptional to deal with and not rude like I have found in some hotels in Italy.
Hotel is very clean...calm, relaxed atmosphere in the lobby.
Hot water for showering never ran out.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
We booked a room for 4 people and we were upgraded to a very comfortable apartment just next to the central building of the hotel.
The apartment was sparkling clean, spacious and modern.
The breakfast was included in the price and it was really delicious. Great variety of sweet and savoury options.
The location is very convenient. It is a 10 minute walk from the train station and at the same time at the centre of Bologna.
We totally recommend it!!
The apartment was cozy, modern, comfortable, and in a great location. It had everything we needed for our four day stay in Bologna, plus more! The host allowed us to check in an hour early and was friendly/helpful. Transportation is at the street level. Quiet building with elevator. Secured property. Within walking distance of city centre. Great restaurants nearby. Half the cost of the 4 star hotel nearby. Highly recommended!
I stayed at Hotel Emi the night before my flight out of the Bologna Airport. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff was friendly. They arranged a taxi for me for the morning which made getting to the airport very easy. Also the pizza I ate in the restaurant at Hotel Emi might be the best pizza I have ever eaten. It's called the "Best Selling" and I can see why. Stay here and eat here. You will enjoy it.
The location was convenient when arriving from Bologna Central station or by monorail from the airport. A short walk from the city centre in a nice quiet area with cafes and a supermarket nearby. The apartment was clean and comfortable. We were welcomed by Jacopo who arrived very promptly to give us the keys. The air conditioning was much appreciated in the hot weather.
We had to catch an early flight from Bologna airport, this hotel is very close to the train station and makes it very comfortable for this purpose. We have stayed one more night in another hotel in the heart of the old town which I recommend for exploring the city. This one was more for easy train and airport connections.
The room was clean and good size.
This hotel is perfectly located in the centre of Bologna, near many restaurants, as well as the very fun University district. It was especially convenient to be able to come back to the hotel to rest during the day. Also, the two terraces offer beautiful views of the centre of Bologna. The staff was very helpful and the room was very clean!
Perfect location. Spotless. Rooms good size for airport hotel. Great value…
Most exceptional was a real restaurant in an airport hotel. Really excellent cuisine , linen tablecloth, exceptionally efficient staff even when slammed during the dinner hour….
A wonderful surprise for the last night of our Italy trip….
we chose this hotel because of the proximity to the airport and the airport transfer and it was a good decision since we landed late and had an early flight. Very comfortable to be able to dine at the hotel .Adequate restaurant, attentive, nice staff. Bus stop to Bologna city centre 9 minutes walking.
Good central location between the Bologna Fair Grounds and city center. Easy to get taxi, Uber or Train as it is in front of Bologna Centrale. Staff was courteous hotel is modern. Great cost/benefit if you don’t mind walking 15 min to city center. Great restaurants less than 10 min walk away.
The hotel is located very close to the central part of Bologna. The hotel staff are very attentive and responsive. The hotel is simple at first look, but the room has everything you need for a few unforgettable days in Bologna. The room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was perfect.
This boutique hotel is excellent on so many levels: super helpful staff; great location; comfortable rooms; terrific views of Bologna; and a truly magical terrace on the top floor (some rooms have terraces too). And all for a good value. This is my new favorite hotel in Bologna!
The hotel’s location is excellent, we could reach the centre of Bologna and the central station of Bologna easily by walk. The room was super clean and nice. The breakfast was served in a café bar near the hotel, it was a coffee and a croissant, which were both delicious. :)
Small, cosy hotel very close to the airport. Large room, comfortable large bed. Good breakfast and excellent coffee. Friendly staff with very good English. The bus very close to the hotel will take you straight to Bologna city centre.
Location was perfect right across the street from Bologna Centrale Train Station which we used for day trips to Pisa/Florence and Venezia. Hotel was walking distance to Historic Center!
