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.
Only there for 2 nights. Had excursion booked so didn’t get to see much of Bologna but we ate out one evening and had a very nice meal. The people are very friendly and the food and wine are fantastic.

We took a local train to visit the Marconi Museum. Very small intimate museum right on the site where the first wireless message was sent. Nice to get out of town and see how regular everyday people live in Italy.

Our favorite place is Centro Commerciale Centronova and Trattoria La Montanara.
We ate great burgers in the restaurant and traditional Bolognese cuisine in the trattoria.
In Bologna we traveled by bus and car. Both options are NOT problematic. Of course the small streets are difficult, but it's not a problem. You just have to be aware of Italian driving, sometimes it's stupid and thoughtless.
I would recommend not going to the great basilica of San Petronio. The staff is terrible, they have stupid rules - for example take off your hat, and it's raining and cold outside!!! A huge basilica, but inside it is very dark and nothing can be seen. Almost all niches are closed and not illuminated. There was an uncle who wouldn't let you into the only open niche - it was for those praying!!!! And there is no one!!!! We have been to many places and cathedrals and basilicas, but nothing like this. The basilica itself remains unfinished. There are very few drawings, and nothing can be seen from the darkness. Pure waste of time. There are churches and cathedrals nearby - San Pietro Cathedral, it's very beautiful and everything can be photographed with flash.

Bologna is a great city escape for 3-4 days.
Bologna is a great city escape for 3-4 days. You can easily walk through the old streets of the town, which are full of architectural treasures. There are more than enough places to sample all the delicacies of Tuscany, such as cold cuts & cheeses, pasta dishes and of course a great aperitivo to end your day.

Bologna is a lovely city with many historic buildings and...
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.
This is a beautiful hotel in every way. The rooms are classical and comfortable and have everything you need. Each room has a it’s own decor theme. The breakfast is outstanding and one of the best I’ve had in Italy. The original art and sculpture all around the hotel is fascinating. The oil paintings in the breakfast room are so good they look like photographs. I would’ve bought one if I could afford it! Staff are professional, courteous and helpful. I will stay here again. It is also very central and convenient to all the sight.
Location wise it’s ok about 15 mins to city centre, 25 mins to Bologna Centrale. The studio room is quite small but everything you need is there. I cooked eggs for breakfast and I love the coffee machine! There were also some snacks on the fridge and on the cupboard. It’s actually my first holiday using an apartment as I prefer to stay in a hotel, but when I was looking for a place to stay at that time, there were only 5 hotels available and majority are bed and breakfast/studio type so I decided to give it a try
The hotel was 15 minutes walk from the station and located in the historic centre of Bologna within very easy reach of all the main sights. The rooms were simple but comfortable and the staff were particularly friendly and helpful. Everything was spotlessly clean. Free coffee and croissant provided at breakfast but if you wanted more the hotel is surrounded by good local eateries and supermarkets. We were up on the 5th floor with sensational views over Bologna’s red rooftops. It had air conditioning and a fan.
Room was very spacious, bright, and quiet. The hotel is a bit further out of the main city centre of Bologna but we didn't mind this as it was just a 30min bus ride to the airport with the bus stop 500m or so from the property (and this was our priority). The hotel was also easy to reach with a short bus ride from the city centre or from Bologna Centrale station. Staff was incredibly polite and helpful when we asked them some questions about how to get to the airport as well as advice on Bologna.
Great hotel for young travellers, for all with young spirit. You can meet students from around world there, hang out in bar, workout in gym, pool is great for relaxing on hot summer days. Stuff is friendly and speaks good English. Distance from airport train Marconi Express is very good, it is on 5 mins from hotel, as well as Bologna Central Railway station which is good if you visit by train another cities. Distance from centre is ok, if you like walking it is not big deal, 15min...
The location is great, and mostly quiet considering how city-centre it is. It is modern and contemporary, although doesn't rise to the level of luxury. In comparison to a lot of hotels and apartments in Italy, which remain dark and dated, it was refreshing to have something new and renovated. The common areas are beautiful. The auto-mated check-in was easy and the host was available on What's App, even getting us into the apartment a bit early so we could drop off our luggage.
Very spacious room, all was perfectly clean and tidy. The staff was very welcoming and nice. The hotel is situated in a very nice garden so the views from the rooms are very nice. The hotel is close to the airport but the area is not noisy. A big advantage is that it is very close to suitable public transport connections and within 20 minutes ride you can be in the perfect city center or to the Bologna Fair.
Everything. Class and comfort at every turn and yet, probably because it was Bologna, one of the most reasonable in terms of price. Close to the train station, and not a far walk from the center of town. This was truly luxury compared to other hotel rooms at similar prices. Bed, bathroom, shower, chairs in room, breakfast, lobby, and staff were all excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
This is not our first stay at Millennhotel. The staff is very friendly and I just love the room, it's really nice and cosy. The shower is really spacious ( it's a big plus when you are a big girl :) ) and the room is always clean. It is in the heart of Bologna you are close to everything within walking distance. Thank you for the hospitality, you will definitely see us next year :)
Perfect location close to city centre- 5 minutes walk to best places of Bologna. I liked opening the door by code- it was really easy. Our host was very kind and even gave us tips where to eat and how to get cheaper to airport (use taxi for 2 and more instead of Marconi express). Apartment was clean with shower gel and basic dishes.
Wonderful stay. Hotel is in a great location in the historic center of Bologna. Hotel itself is in a very old building. Room was very comfortable and filled with historic materials. Staff was pleasant, very able and professional. We loved our visit to Bologna and Art Hotel Commercanti was an important part of that.
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….
Location was good, close to the train station (8min walk) and there’s a train directly to the airport that’s less than 10 mins.
Apartment was spacious, clean and good value for money. It was about 15 mins walk to Bologna main square. There was a nice restaurant across from the hotel with good pizza and pasta.
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 is a well located hotel. We had a very large room when compared to other hotel rooms in Bologna and in general, Italy. The staff was very helpful, the room was quiet and clean. Convenient underground parking which was a great surprise. We would definitely stay here again.
The location in the center of Bologna within walking distance of the main attractions was real treat. The rooftop terrace has a lovely view of the towers, so you feel you are in the heart of it all. The Hotel room was good and very clean. The hot shower was excellent.
the hotel was amazing! in the centre of Bologna ! it was warm and clean and nicely decorated! the receptionist were very helpful with my transfer to the airport ! I even did check in one hour earlier! I will definitely recommend this hotel for your stay in Bologna
Convenient to the airport. Helpful advice from staff to get into Bologna centre; they ordered us a taxi (17 euros).
Best way to get to the hotel from the airport is to get a taxi AT the airport (12 euros), rather than their airport shuttle.
Easy walk from Bologna Centrale and from the city center. Great dining all around the hotel. Staff was very friendly. Room was comfortable. Definitely would book again. Thank you to everyone that works at the hotel :)
The hotel was close to the train station so we could see other parts of Italy.
The people were very helpful in answering any question. The room was excellent there was 3 people and the room gave us plenty of room.
