Hotel Bologna - Florence

9.7

The hotel was centrally located within walking distance to the train station, good restaurants and several main attractions. Although the room was small, it didn't cause me any inconvenience. The staff was extremely professional, polite, attentive and helpful. I would stay there again and recommend it to my friends.

7.3

We stayed 5 days in Florence and got a very quiet double room at the back of the hotel. We appreciate kindness of employees and their explanations to reach easily the different sites we wanted to visit.

9.3

Nice friendly hotel,nice staff,great City, limited due to lack of a restaurant service, however excellent resauran just two minutes away. Well worth the money.

9.2

only problem was the lack of light in stairwell. otherwise, a nice and affordable place off tourist path - if you're willing to walk to the beaten path

9.9

It's a little of a walk but that's ok. I did enjoy staying there. Internet across the street at another hotel was fine. I was near a real neighborhood and not all tourist. That was a real plus at times.

9.0

First time we stayed in hotel Bologna,In a double bed room.Clean and nice...the only thing that I missed..is an extra mirror in the room-apart from the bathroom-would be convenient!Good breakfast,pleasant stay! 15 minutes walk to the center,many shops around..

7.9

Bon rapport qualité prix, personnel compétent. Proximité ligne de bus.

8.8

Bologna is about what we expected for an economy type hotel. It was hard to get there, but after arriving, we enjoyed the cold A/C and continental breakfast. The neighborhood is safe and provides easy access to the main attractions.

8.5

Excellent option.

10

Wonderful, friendly staff. Breakfast was great. Within walking distance of downtown Florence.

10

The staff at Hotel Bologna made us feel welcome and answered any questions we had about Florence willingly. Antonella went out of her way to make our stay memorable. I would highly recommended Hotel Bologna and look forward to returning some day!

8.8

Travelled in June for 3 nights, very enjoyable stay - friendly staff - there is a lift and the breakfast is included - easy 15 minutes walk from city center and no noise at night.

7.9

Bologna Hotel is neither great nor bad, I chose it because of the price. Its main inconvenience is that, although not far from downtown, it takes you at least 20min on foot to get to any interesting place, while the bus is always crowded and late.

8.3

Siamo rimasti due notti in un week end di fine maggio. La signora alla reception è molto gentile è premurosa. Per evitarci il costo del parcheggio, ci ha permesso di lasciare l'auto in una pertinenza dell'hotel anche se normalmente non è un posto auto. Santa Croce è a 15 min a piedi, altri 5 min è si arriva a Palazzo Vecchio. Se non si vuole camminare, è molto comodo il bus 14, che passa in una via poco distante dall'hotel. Attenzione se circolate in auto perchè il centro è ZTL, accessibile solo ai residenti, con telecamere sui punti di accesso. La colazione è a buffet, di qualità standard, latte e caffe si ordinano a volontà. Unico appunto: la camera era al terzo piano e molto soleggiata, quindi molto calda e il condizionamento non era ancora funzionante, forse perchè si era ancora a maggio. Rapporto qualità prezzo molto buono, lo consigliamo vivamente.

This was my first trip to Italy and my husband's third, but first vacation. We chose the Bologna at the recommendation of a colleague who's had visitors stay there when he lives in Florence for 10 week stays. With good reason. They know how to treat guests. hotel outshines every horror story I read online in setting up this trip. Tastefully decorated, with a little reading area, small bar, and elevator. The charming and cheerful Antonella, hotel manager, is everything one could want in a welcoming tourist facilitator. She speaks fluent English and tells great stories. When we needed a cab to the train station or a bus map, she handled it smoothly. Those staffing the breakfast buffet are unobtrusive and provide very fine service. The eating area is lovely, convenient, and stocked with plenty of light fare. We were surprised to see people there, as the hotel was so quiet, it seemed we were the only guests--except for one who snored through the somewhat thin walls. Our room was well-lit, airy, very clean, offered good storage space, and included a good sized bathroom and full-sized shower. The neighborhood is delightful: urban-residential space, thus including all the basics plus restaurants, fashion shopping, coffee shops, and a bank. Housing there is more modern and sunny, striking a good balance to the medieval heart of Florence. Being near the river was lovely, with green space and mountains seeming close at hand. Travelers uninterested in the very pleasant 15-min walk to Piazza Santa Croce or 20 minute walk into the Uffizi square should get the map from Tourist Info at the train station which shows routes for the orange electric bus. I found Bologna a pleasant buffer zone after a day among my fellow tourists in the clogged art zone, where restaurants serve later, unlike Bologna's area. There, nights are quiet and safe to walk at 11:00 pm. A desk person was always available to let us in. All this for a reasonable 95 euro a night. You can't beat it. Bologn

8.3

Decent sized room, nice bathroom, good breakfast, reasonably priced. Located about 15-20 mins walk from the Duomo in a nice neighborhood with quite a few decent restaurants and cafes and (by Florence standards) very few tourists.

9.1

The manager is very friendly and service-minded; he even carried our suitcases to the street when we left and we didn't have to pay our drinks. It's a shame the coffee (oploskoffie) is disgusting (unless you drink it with the excellent frotted milk provided). The coffee at the entrance, on the other hand, is excellent. The beds are great, although maybe a little bit short for some tall Europeans; I managed quite well for my 1.77 meter. They gave us a double bed upon arrival, thought we had requested single beds, but we slept ok anyway and we got our single beds the next day. Once I was too late for breakfast, but got some anyway (with excellent coffee even!). Overall: great stay!

9.1

Nice hotel. Good price. Outside of the city center. Not handicap accessible, the pictures of the hotel miss the dozen stairs that one must to go up to enter the hotel lobby and get to the elevator, which is also not large enough for a wheelchair. The owner of the hotel was very helpful, and most of the staff was helpful as well, although no one at the hotel spoke English well enough to really answer most of my questions. The breakfast was really nice and a great start to the day. The time for the breakfast was really open. I spent a over a week there and it was nice. The room was the largest that I have seen in Europe and the bathroom was the cleanest. Heated towel racks are a nice touch. The TV is tiny and only has a few channels in Italian and French. Internet is not included in the rate even though it looks like it is. Be prepared to do a lot of walking, taxis are really expensive. Nice hotel, comfy bed.

8.6

This hotel was less than half the price of other eqivalent hotels and we were a little concerned about what we would find but it was great. Ten minutes from town just off a frequent bus route. Very clean, quiet and with excellent service. Restaurants within easy walk and a good breakfast

7.5

I would come here again. A bit far from Centro, but a fun walk and buses available if needed. Room was clean, employees knowledgable and friendly..followed suggestion re: local restarurant and was extremely pleased. Price food etc....

7.9

As a solo traveler who enjoyes being off the beaten path this hotel was a great match. It's about a 20min. walk to the center, through an Italian neighborhood. Not only do you see locals going about their everyday you also have the benefit of avoiding the high food prices that you'll find in the center. This hotel was well worth the price, the room was a small, simple, single and very clean. One night I did have a loud group in the room beside me but over all it was very quiet. The morning brought the chime of church bells and a local preparing for the opera which was a real treat! Breakfast was standard croissant, bread, boiled eggs, cheese, cold meats and cereal with juice and coffee. The hotel is 2-3 blocks from the Arno river where there's a park the locals meet in the afternoon for coffee and chit-chat if you like people watching or have kids. If you enjoy simplicity and quiet and don't mind a bit of a walk I highly recommend this hotel. If you're looking for glamour and everything at your feet it's not the place for you. I was there in August of 2008 I can't remember what bus they said on the site but it wasn't right and I was able to get on another so don't be shy to ask any of the bus drivers they're very helpful.

9.9

It's a very nice hotel to stay in Florence. It's situated in quiet area and still it's pretty close to the city center (about 20 minutes to Duomo, e.g.). If you travel by train, there is a station near the hotel (Firenze Campo Di Marte, one stop before the final station Firenze S. M. Novella), it's just 10 minutes on foot. The staff is really helpful and friendly (thanks for everything!). The breakfast is very good with cereals, yogurt and fruits, it's not just a coffee and a croissant. They also have wi-fi Internet connection, just ask for password at the reception. The only thing that wasn't so nice was heating, it makes the air dry when turned on. If we go back to Florence we will definitely stay there again. And the city is worth going back:)

10

I stayed with my mother for 4 days over the Christmas period and we loved it! The staff were very friendly and incredibly helpful, the breakfast was good and the location was brilliant - it's about a 20 minute walk to the medieval centre but that's via some interesting bits or along the waterfront so it's not arduous. The location is quiet and the rooms very clean, a good size and with everything provided. We loved it and would recommend it to others - especially for the price.

8.4

Located on the outskirts of the old city, close to the Arno River and a block away from a buzzing shopping district, this is an great hotel, at a great price. The staff were all very accommodating and friendly, and dealth with an unforeseen problem of leaving a handbag behind in the room with speed, efficiency and real empathy. Wer booked a family room (two kids aged 8 and 11) and we got what we expected in terms of a crowded room. We enjoyed the breakfasts, and felt the hotel was great value for money, and a great base to explore Firenze. We will return!

9.6

The staff spoke excellent English and were very helpful with someone on staff 24 hours a day. The breakfast was fantastic with both meat and cheese and home brewed coffees. We found the location to be very good as well and the staff directed us as to the public transit when necessary. The price was exceptional for the size of the room, quality of breakfast, and helpfullness of the staff. I would stay there again and recommend this hotel to all my friends. Wonderful stop in our itinerary.

8.3

Fine hotel, approx 15-20 minutes walking from Piazza della Signoria. This way you'll see more of Florence, compared with a stay in one or the other tourist trap hostel in the city centre. Nice busy district around the corner (Via Vincenzo Gioberti). Go visit the pizzeria Fuori Piazza around the corner. Fantastic atmosphere, excellent down to earth food, very good prices. You'll only find the Florentines themselves over there. And me of course, when I'm around. :-)

7.8

Pleasant boutique type bed and breakfast hotel.

9.4

We very much enjoyed our time at the Hotel bologna. we had room 24 with a large balcony, the linen and towels were changed every third day and the room was cleaned daily. The bar frig was very well stock and reasonable priced. The hotel had a lift, the staff were well versed in English and extremely helpful. The breakfast was very good, well serviced with a wide variety of selections, cereal, meat, juice, fresh fruit ,yogurt, cheese, bread, the coffee was excellent. Le Stagioni Pizzeria Spaghetteria restaurant was just down the street, great food and very good prices. Pay euro 1.20 at the train station get on bus number 14, it is probably more then three stops to the hotel. When we return to Firenze, we certainly will stay at Hotel Bologna

6.7

Nice little hotel, instant coffe for breakfast, in Italy!!!!!! Much too far out of things. Question regarding rooms unfair, do not know howw many there were.

9.5

Nice basic hotel and decent locaton about 15-20 minute walk from center of town. A little confusing to find initially, but staff were very nice and friendly. Dinner at a local trattoria around the corner was excellent. Would consider staying for a short stay again.

9.1

Friendly accommodating staff, great coffee in the morning. Rooms are small but the 4 of us fit ok in the family room. Easy to get into town on the bus, and being away from town made the place very quiet at night.

8.2

Very good welcoming. The owner was very nice. Good breakfast included within the fees. The location is 15' walk from Duomo, and due to that it was very quiet. Access by bus and/or car is easy. In addition since we had to stay longer than planned we received a discount. Once again very nice and helpfull welcoming.

9.4

Tremendo hotel, muy buena atencion con los clientes. El desayuno es muy satisfactorio. Queda como a 20/25 min caminando desde el domo, pero con un buen mapa no hay problema . Venezuela

9.9

Excellent service; friendly & efficient staff made our first time stay in Florence very memorable. Great breakfast and very clean hotel

7.8

relación calidad/precio esta muy bien, el desayuno es suficiente, es una zona tranquila y bien comunicada con bus para ir al centro historico, aunque andando esta a 15 minutos aprox., y se pasa de camino por el mercado de san ambrosio. En el hotel nos indicaron algún restaurante que estaba allí al lado y se comia muy bien y a buen precio (nada que ver con el centro) y hasta bastante tarde por la noche, por cierto. El aire acondicionado funciono correctamente, lo cual fue muy importante ya que hacía mucho calor esos días en florencia.En definitiva una buena experiencia

9.3

Great little hotel. Rooms are very nice, and more spacious than our hotel in Venice, which cost 3 times as much. Gracious front staff, spoke very good English. Hotel is located away from the toursit area, which made for a quiet and pleasant stay. It was a very nice walk to the city center, along the river (15 to 20 minutes). Breakfast could be improved, but by Italian standards it is good. I would definately stay at Hotel Bologna again.

8.9

This was a very nice place to stay. About 15-20 min walk from the core of Florence (i.e Duomo etc.) but in a quieter and more residential neighbourhood. So the walks in the morning and evening to and from the hotel allowed you to "re-group". The quality was excellent for the price and the price for drinks in mini-fridge was very reasonable. Overall, I was glad because it allowed me to spend money elsewhere for travels. The staff were all very friendly too.

10

Its a great hotel! Ive come to the conclusion over the years that a hotel is a hotel if its clean ,safe area(especially for children) and gives good breakfast and nice to you. Location is also important. This little hotel has it all. From reading the previous reviews I decided to book it as they were 90% positive. I wasnt disappointed. It is in a quite neighbourhood with friendly staff who give good instructions and speak english well (I cant speak italian!!! SHAME) Food is good and of the two resturants they recommended - 4pizza is best. I felt a bit ripped off in the other one , cant think of its name but it starts with T Tranoni or something like that. Make sure you get bottled water as they will stil charge you for 'Tap water' Back to the hotel - they left us leave our bags in the hotel while we browsed the city on the day we were leaving. i really cant praise it enough. Suffient to say if I owned a hotel this is the standard I,d aspire to. ***** five star and high fives!!! Great for a family room.

7.7

Clean and good service

8.9

For a European hotel, it was bigger than I had anticipated for 4 people. It was very comfortable and most importantly, clean. It was outside the city center, which was a plus for us, as it was quieter at night. Also, enjoyed being part of a residential area. Would definitely recommend it and go back there again.

8.2

We were on our honeymoon in Florence in mid June 2008. The hotel is not far from the Firenze SMN station but you need to take a 20 minutes' bus ride (bus route 14) from the station when you carry a backpack / luggage. Stephen, the staff is very nice and friendly, he could provide the exact information about travelling Firenze and Pisa. The room we had is on the 2nd floor, facing the street and with a balcony, air-con, bathroom, 14" TV, about 200 sq feet. It's clean but when we open the balcony window, several mosquitoes you will find in the room. The location of the hotel is quite quiet and easily to be reached. It's only take 25 minutes' walk from Duomo. The breakfast is common. I will stay again if I come back because the price is reasonable and the area is much quiet than the centre. Apart from carrying the backpack, we chose walking to the Firenze centre.

8.3

The location of the hotel was pretty good as it was only a 10 minute walk to the main tourist destinations. It is very hard to find if you are traveling by car and we had to hire a taxi to follow because we couldn't find it. Breakfast was good and the room was surprisingly big with a nice balcony.

8.9

15 minutes easy walk to the dome, which we could see from our balkony. Staff very helpful re. parking and all questions. Easy to find the hotel and go there by car. And finally their breakfast was the best we had during our week in Toscana, living at other hotels at similar and higher prices. We returned to this hotel after a week last night before going home and we warmly recommend this hotel!

9.2

It's a very nice hotel,the owner is very friendly and charming,the area is lovely,residential. We would definitely come back!

9.6

Excellent recepion staff - particularly the gentleman with spectacles who patiently advised us hwo to get to the airport using public transportation and even sold us bus tickets... A wonderful stay ... however, their coffee must be the worst in Italy!

9.8

I stayed at Bologna hotel in Florence for three night in may 2008 and had a wonderful time. The staff is helpfull and the room was very confortable.

9.3

El hotel esta muy bien. Nos entregaron la habitacion a las 10:00am a pesar de que el horario del check-in era mas tarde. Los alrededores del hotel son tranquilos, con algunos lugares economicos para cenar. Al centro se puede llegar caminando unos 20min o en BUS que pasa a dos cudras del hotel. El desayuno es abundante y variado. Definitivamente recomendable.

9.0

This hotel is really nice to stay in Florence. We stayed there for three days. And we were well pleased. The hotel do not equip a small refrigerator in each room. But beer, wine and cold beverages are available in the tea room next to reception for reasonable price all the day. So we did not complain about this point. The hotel is located near bus stop, big super market (Coop) and fine restaurant (pizzeria). Breakfast was also nice. We strongly recommend all of economy tourists to use this hotel.

9.8

We had a great stay. We were only there for two nights, but we enjoyed our time. The hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. They had a shelf with lots of travel books on the area that guests could borrow. We had a quad room that was very spacious by European standards. The bathroom was clean with a shower that had good pressure. The breakfast was typical for Italy with a few extras. The hotel is a little outside of the core, but that is what I liked the most about it. We could walk in to town everyday in 15min with 2 kids age 6 & 7. The walk was filled with little shops and restaurants to enjoy. It was in a residential neighborhood so you felt like a local. Good bakery around the corner too.

9.1

We stayed for two nights in a double and a triple room. We were extremely satisfied. The hotel is in a quiet area about 15 min walk from city center and 1 or 2 blocks from a bus stop (depending on direction), giving the advantage of good access to the city without the noise and crowds. The hotel is also close to the river, the Campo di Marte train station, and several local restaurants. The rooms were quiet and comfortable. The lobby had wifi internet access(extending to one of our rooms). The breakfast was fine, with a variety of choices. The staff was very helpful, although the night staff didn't speak English well.

9.7

Overall we had a very nice stay in Hotel Bologna. A very nice hotel for four Norwegian students.

9.4

I had a wonderful 8 day stay at this hotel. It was in a nice quiet neighborhood, just a 30 min walk from downtown or you could take the bus. They were very helpful. Spotlessly clean. Very nice bathroom. My bed was a little saggy for my big frame, and some sound carried through the wall, but the breakfasts were the best I've ever had in Italy in my 4 weeks of travel. A buffet of cheeses, meats, yogurt, whole grain cereals, fruit, hot crosants ect. An incredible value.

8.9

Very good hotel. Clean and large rooms. A litle far from the city center, but for the price is OK.

10

Excellent hotel. One of the best I stayed in during my trip to Italy. The staff was very professional and accomodating. They even loaned me an umbrella when it rained one day! They also recommended a pizzeria about one block away that served one of the best meals I had while there. The antipasto was out of this world.

8.2

Quite a simple room but the hotel was clean and good value. Staff were very helpful and the area was very good. A bit away from the centre but the buses were good and the many pubs and restaurants in the area where excellent; not only good value but offered much better quality than same price in the centre.

8.0

20 minute walk to the Duomo, public parking outside 1€ the hour,

9.9

We've spend only one night but we found fully satisfaction.1 room 4 persons and breakfast for 80 euros. If you're a looking for a good place to stay in Florence, Hotel "Bologna" is the right place. We had no problem to find a parking place for our car close to the hotel and we made it to the historicalal center in less than 15 minutes by feet along the river. De plus la chambre ainsi que la salle de bain étaient trés propres, l'hôtel calme.

8.2

The hotel is far from the train station, but if you like to walk and have a map it's fine. Also you can take the bus but i didn't. The room it's good and the breakfast too. El hotel esta lejos de la estción, pero si te gusta caminar y tienes un mapa te puedes ubicar. También esta el autobus pero no lo tome. La habitación esta bien y el desayuno muy bueno. La relación precio calidad, excelente. Volvería a quedarme si voy solo o con mi pareja.

9.9

This is the second time I have stayed at the Hotel Bologna. I returned because my first stay was so nice. I was not disappointed this time. The same staff, very nice and accommodating. This may not be an ideal location for a first time visitor to Firenze since the hotel is a little outside of the center. However,for someone who is adventurous and likes the quiet of a residential ares, Hotel Bologna is a gem.

8.8

Did not provide wakeup call as requested.

7.7

It was a bit difficult to find the hotel, since we were driving from Rome w/o the Navigation system. But the staff at the hotel, (esp. Anatella)was extremely helpful in assisting us. The other staff were also helpful, esp. with information and providing a parking lot. Breakfast was great & ample. The bathroom was clean & the shower bigger than the other hotels. Though you need to walk a little more than 15 - 20 mins to the various tourist sites, it is well worth it. Wonderful pastry / bakery & ice- cream shops round the corner, wonderful market a little further down and also a super market. For those who want "Indian-like" food, try the little kebab store, just past the Beccaria, and don't forget to pop into the 1 Euro store. Try the "tripe" with bread as well - only to be found in firenze. We would definitely recommend this place to others,and stay here again.

7.5

Very nice staff gave me useful and time-saving tips, including ticket reservations. Great breakfast as well. It worked fine for me as I was able to park right at the door of the hotel (no private park though) and get quickly to city center.

9.5

We stayed for 2 nights in a doublebed room.it is a small hotel but the price is right.The room has enough space.The breakfast was perfect.What i did not like was they did not changed the bed linens and bath towels everyday.But i still recommend this hotel.

8.9

The hotel is close to the river Arno, which make a beautiful walk to and from the centre of Firenze. The hotel is situated further up Via Orcagna than indicated on the map on the Venere web-site. The shortest way to the centre is by Via V Gioberti and Piazza Beccaria, you can reach the Duomo in 15 min. The surroundings of the hotel is quiet, but I could easily hear the guests in the neighbouring rooms. The staff was great, and the breakfast very good.

9.1

A wonderful neighborhood to stay in, but be prepared to walk a long distance or take many bus rides. Very quiet in the evening.

9.2

The staff has been very freindly and competent

5.6

Late of the center

9.9

Why I gave an excellent score? I just didn't put 10 at everything for finished the evaluation quickly, I remembered every single aspect when I was reading the question, and everything was wonderful. Can I evaluate the personnel with an 11+ ? They were AMAZING giving addresses and tips, nice nice people. The rooms where very cozy and clean, and the breakfast was super too. Just take the bus 14 for going anywhere of interest (as the train station and baptistery) and back to the hotel. Nice restaurants, parks and walks around it. Completly safe sorroundings. The pics of the hotel doesn't make any justice to it. I found wonderful hotels through venere.com, just read the traveleres comments and you'll find a good hotel.

9.7

La atención del personal fue excelente, nos apoyaron en todos los servicios que se requirieron tanto dentro del hotel como para salir de gira por la ciudad.

6.4

En general el hotel está bastante bien, incluido el desayuno. Lo que empeoró la estancia en el mismo fue el estado de las camas. Los somieres eran de muelles y te hundias en el medio. Yo volvería al mismo hotel siempre y cuando me aseguraran unas camas decentes donde descansar

8.6

We were very lucky to get a parking space outside the Hotel, well untill the street needed cleaning. Make sure you find out about this when you arrive (as we were told) otherwise you'll end up with a fine.

8.7

Very nice hotel. Clean, nice rooms, nice staff and good prices. Might be considered a little bit far from everythng central. You have to walk for like 10-15 minutes but we didn't mind it at all.

8.8

Great hotel and a very familiar staff. Hotel Bologna was confortable and very nice. Perhaps my room was a little bit dark and the bath too little, but relationship between price/quality is really great.

9.2

Un couple en chambre double. Séjour très satisfaisant ; petit déjeuner copieux et varié ; difficulté à trouver des places de parking gratuites.

9.2

An excellent place to stay,if you're looking for a quiet and safe neighbourhood, 15' from the centre. As we were travelling with a motorbike, we felt very safe leaving it right outside the hotel, thus we didn't have to pay for a private parking. Excellent value for money, clean and super-super breakfast! Super tip: get a bike from hotel Orcagna, just opposite for 5 euros per day; THE perfect way to see Firenze!!

8.3

Wir haben 2 Nächte im Hotel Bologna verbracht und waren rundum zufrieden. Klasse war, dass die Besitzerin uns ihren Parkplatz für die 2 tage zur Verfügung gestellt hat und wir somit keine Parkgebühren zahlen mussten. das Frühstück war auch ok, es gab sogar Müsli, aber leider wie fast überall Instantkaffee. Die Lage war auch gut, 20 min zu Fuß bis in die Innenstadt. Sehr zu empfehlen!

7.2

The hotel was a 25-minute walk from any of the the main sites in the central area so we were unable to go back to the hotel during the middle of the day unless we took a bus.

8.0

we really liked the hotel. Given the fact that it is not central, we really liked the street with many nice shops to get there in 20 minutes. Really quiet.

9.2

room is spacious and clean with a beautiful balcony. excellent price. excellent breakfast.

9.7

An excellent place. The hotel is located in a quiet area, 15 minutes walk from Duomo. The stuff is friendly and always willing to help.

9.4

excellent value for money

9.0

Everything was wery good. I hope that, we will stay again...

7.8

Clean,quite, good breakfast, 20min walk from central station, bus connection.

8.3

The hotel was clean and in a quiet location and was an enjoyable 15 minute walk from the city centre. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only slight negative was the breakfast with a lack of variety.

9.0

There was one cranky night worker but the rest were fantastic! THe room was huge and could sleep 4, though there were only two of us! Breakfast was great--the mornign we were leaving, we were getting a taxi (that they had already called for us!) at 8am and breakfast doesn't open until 8am, we went downstairs hoping to steal a quick something before we left. THe woman attending to the breakfast bar ran out and gave us a bag, napkins, everything we needed to take whatever we wanted! It was very sweet. Great location, close to some great restaurants. We loved it!

8.7

excellent hotel - would definetly return there

7.6

Good welcoming specially from employees . Quiet and spacious rooms ( we were travelling with our 2 child)but serious problem of heating in the room. Cold during night.Breakfast will be better ( coffee not so good)

8.8

i would recommend this hotel to anyone. when we returned to england we immediateky booked a return visit. everyone should see bella firenze before they die

8.8

2 night stayed. a bit out of the way, but nice quiet residential neighborhood - about 20 minute away to the duomo

10

Extremely good value. Nice room, good service and an excellent breakfast. We felt very welcome. The surrounding area was quiet and peaceful and only a short bus ride from the historical center. If we go back to Firenze we´ll stay at Hotel Bologna once again.

9.7

The relationship between price/quality is great, we enjoyed our stay in the hotel "Bologna" very much!

9.8

bolongna was soooooo excellent. the facility was good and the staff was so kind to answer our all the questions about the trip and Florence. Also the room was so nice and clean, especially I really liked the bathroom. I'd like to recommend Bologna to all the travellers of Florence!!!

7.7

J'ai passé un super séjour à l'hôtel Bologna. Le personnel est chaleureux et prévenant. Le petit-déjeuner est copieux et digne d'un 3 étoiles. Seul bémol, la sdb est minuscule et ma chambre au 1er étage était assez bruyante ... Mais bon, le prix est largement mérité. Je reviendrais ! Arriva derci Firenze !!!

9.0

We stayed 5 nights, the rooms were clean and spacious, breakfast good, many local restaurants, walking distance to centre and close to local bus stop

8.0

We had 3 rooms, two double and one single. The single room was very small and dark, and the toilet was in the showercabine. The other rooms were okay.

9.3

Hotel Bologna was the nicest place we stayed in Italy on our vacation. Being 4 students on a budget, we were expecting to be in low-quality hotels, but this one was better than we could ask for! Helpful staff, nice breakfast included, lovely neat room, and our room had a huge balcony with the view of the Duomo! Absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend.

9.6

The Bologna is a very nice and clean, the staff was very accommodating with the exception that several did not speak or understand English very well. The location is slightly outside the Center of Florence but for someone familiar with the city (as I am), this is a great location. It is close to bus stops and neighborhood restaurants.

Very comfortable hotel. Conveniently situated, as only 20 minutes walk from historical centre and also close to bus routes. Would stay at Hotel Bologne again if we ever return to Florence. The continental breakfast was very good and the staff were friendly and very efficient.

Let me start by saying that my wife and I stayed in 14 different hotels for our European vacation in the summer of 2006 (Aug – Sept) – so all our reviews will be comparing the hotels on the trip. European hotels are smaller and simpler than American hotels, so it doesn’t seem fair to compare them. For the most part, breakfast in a B&B is not worth it – especially if you have to pay a little more. We generally ate one morning at the included breakfast, and then skipped the other mornings – looking for a local place to enjoy breakfast. Also, all of our hotels had small bathrooms and very small showers – so be prepared with a good attitude and knowledge that you are there to see the sights – not soak in the tub! Kinda far from the sights. Very spacious room. Comfortable place to stay. We would go back if we couldn’t find something closer to the Dumo.
