Map & live prices by our partner
Across the 100 hotels on this page, ratings average 8.3, and prices span from €30 to €750 per night, with a typical price of €70. The highest-rated property is the 5-star Grand Hotel Majestic Gia' Baglioni at 9.0, while the 4-star Royal Hotel Carlton offers a strong balance of price and convenience near the station. For budget travellers, AC Hotel Bologna By Marriott starts at €62, and Savhotel Aemilia Bologna at €69, placing some well-rated options under €100.
The city centre is where most of the top-rated hotels are concentrated, many within a few minutes' walk of Piazza Maggiore. Art Hotel Commercianti and Art Hotel Orologio both score 8.8 or higher and sit close to the main square, with prices from €135 to €323. For a landmark view, Hotel Touring is right on Piazza Maggiore but costs from €333, reflecting the premium for a central address. Expect to pay a bit more here, but you'll save on transport and time.
If you're arriving by rail, several hotels are directly opposite or steps from Bologna Centrale. The Social Hub Bologna sits near the station and offers a seasonal pool, while Mercure Bologna Centro is directly opposite the station with parking available. NH Bologna De La Gare and Starhotels Excelsior are both station-side, with prices from €127 to €245, making them convenient bases for day trips or early departures.
For a stay near the iconic Two Towers, Hotel Corona D'Oro 1890 is a refined choice, with a superb location and a price from €750 per night. Other central options like I Portici Hotel Bologna and Phi Hotel Bologna offer four-star comfort within walking distance of the main landmarks, though at somewhat lower prices. Choosing a hotel in this area puts you within easy reach of the city's historic core, but be ready for higher rates.
Central parking is a rare commodity in Bologna, but a few hotels manage it. Hotel Touring, right on Piazza Maggiore, and Hotel Roma, a short stroll from the square, both offer on-site parking. If you're willing to stay slightly outside the centre, Savhotel Aemilia Bologna has parking and is a 20-minute walk from the action, with rates from €69. For drivers, these options balance a central location with the convenience of a car.
A handful of hotels in Bologna include a seasonal pool, a nice perk in the summer heat. The Social Hub Bologna and Savoia Hotel Regency both feature seasonal pools, with the latter set beside a park. Hotel Cosmopolitan Bologna also offers a pool and free parking, making it a practical choice for families or fair visitors. Pool hotels tend to be slightly outside the immediate centre, so plan for a short commute to the sights.
For those visiting the Bologna Fair, a few hotels are strategically located nearby. Holiday Inn Bologna - Fiera By Ihg is close to the fairgrounds and offers free parking and a free airport shuttle. AC Hotel Bologna By Marriott is also positioned between the fair and the old town, with modern rooms from €62 per night. Staying outside the centre can mean better value and easier parking for fair attendees.
Among station-side hotels, Starhotels Excelsior stands out with a rating of 8.8 and a starting price of €127, making it one of the best-value options near the tracks. Royal Hotel Carlton, though a short walk from the station, also scores well at 8.9 and offers a spa. For a modern take, NH Bologna De La Gare has easy rail links and rates from €228. These properties combine convenience with above-average guest satisfaction.
A typical night in a Bologna hotel costs around €70, with budget options starting from €30 and premium central properties reaching up to €750. Prices are often lower in the outskirts or around the fairgrounds, while the historic centre commands a premium.
For a first visit, staying in the historic centre near Piazza Maggiore is ideal, as most attractions are walkable and you'll be immersed in the city's atmosphere. If you're arriving by train, a hotel near Bologna Centrale offers convenience without sacrificing access to the centre, which is only a short stroll away.
Several hotels provide airport shuttles, such as Holiday Inn Bologna - Fiera and Hotel Cosmopolitan, while others like Hotel Bologna Airport are directly at the airport. For central hotels, a taxi or the Marconi Express monorail connects the airport to the city centre in about 10 minutes.
Booking well in advance is wise, especially for the high season (spring and autumn) and during major fairs, when the best-rated central hotels like Art Hotel Commercianti or Hotel Corona D'Oro can sell out quickly. For summer months, you might find last-minute deals, but to secure your top choice, aim to book at least a few months ahead.
Bologna's hotel scene clusters around the historic centre’s porticoed streets, the rail hub at Bologna Centrale, and the fairgrounds to the northeast. Many top-rated properties sit within a short stroll of Piazza Maggiore and the Two Towers, while others trade proximity for parking, pools, or airport shuttles. Room rates range from €30 for a budget stay to €750 for a premium central address, with a typical night around €70 across the page’s 96 priced properties.
The city rewards walkers: the centre is compact, and even the station-side hotels are a manageable walk from the main sights. For those arriving by car, a cluster of properties on the outskirts offer free parking and easy motorway access, which can be a better trade-off than a more central but car-unfriendly location. In Bologna, you often choose between a room under the porticoes and one with a car park.
This collection suits travellers who want the full Bologna experience with the convenience of a traditional hotel, whether that means being steps from the porticoes of the centre or near the station for easy rail access. If your priorities are a specific amenity like a pool, airport proximity, or budget-friendly rates, explore the pages for airport hotels, cheap and budget options, or hotels with parking. For family stays or pet-friendly travels, check those dedicated lists, while those seeking a more intimate feel might prefer the Bed & Breakfasts or guest houses pages.
