Savhotel Fiera Bologna

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel, friendly and helpful staff "

Starhotels Excelsior

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, safe, great location, excellent breakfast, well staffed, very spacious room. My only negative is don’t get fooled by the drink and appetizer deal they have posted all round, the food is just peanuts, chips, and parm cheese- it is not the yummy food they have pictured as you would assume- kind of a bait and switch. But the hotel itself was perfect and Bologna just might be my new fave Italian city, great location for visiting other towns. "

This duration allows visitors to discover iconic landmarks, such as the stunning cathedral and historical churches, as well as museums, monuments, and the prestigious university. Additionally, the vibrant cafés and shops offer great value for money, making it an ideal destination for travellers on a budget.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Bologna, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates for hotels as your travel date approaches. Additionally, enabling email alerts or push notifications could keep you informed about flash sales and exclusive last-minute offers, helping you seize opportunities to save. Furthermore, you can utilise Smart Shopping, a comparison tool available through the app, to compare hotel prices and amenities. This way, if prices drop or availability changes, you’re more likely to be the first to know, allowing you to secure a spontaneous getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your dates may help you save on your stay in a hotel in Bologna. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised touch and occasionally offer better value.
