BOLOGNA SUITES – PRIVATE BATHROOM Overview

You know what struck me first about Bologna Suites? The location is absolutely perfect – I mean, Via dell’Indipendenza is basically Bologna’s main artery, but somehow this place manages to feel tucked away from all the chaos. You’re literally a five-minute walk from Piazza Maggiore, and honestly, that’s huge because you can duck back for a siesta between all the wandering around the porticoes.

The suites themselves are surprisingly spacious for Italy – and I say that as someone who’s squeezed into plenty of European “doubles” that barely fit the bed. Each one has its own private bathroom (hence the name, obviously), but what they don’t tell you is how modern and well-designed they are. The shower pressure is actually decent, which… look, if you’ve traveled in Italian cities, you know that’s not always a given. The rooms have this clean, minimalist vibe without feeling cold or hotel-chain generic. There’s good natural light, and the beds are properly comfortable – not too soft, not too firm. I actually slept really well, which doesn’t always happen when you’re adjusting to a new place.

What I really appreciated was how quiet it stays at night, even though you’re right in the thick of things. The building itself seems well-insulated, and the street doesn’t get the late-night bar crowd that some of the side streets near the university area do. Parking is tricky (it’s the city center, what do you expect?), but there’s a decent garage about three blocks away if you’re driving. Most people just take the bus from the airport though – there’s a stop practically outside the door that connects to the main station. The staff actually knows the city well too, which makes a difference. They pointed me toward this little osteria off Via del Pratello that I never would have found otherwise, and it ended up being one of my favorite meals of the trip. That’s the kind of local insight that makes a place feel authentic rather than just functional. The 8.7 rating makes sense to me – it’s not trying to be luxury, but it nails all the things that actually matter when you’re exploring a city like Bologna.

Reviews of BOLOGNA SUITES – PRIVATE BATHROOM

  • An ideally located, quiet apartment in central Bologna with easy access to transport! – Polina from Russia – 26 June 2025 (9/10)

    A perfect place to stay in Bologna – all the main sights are within walking distance, it’s close to the train station, and you can reach the airport in just minutes via the Marconi Express. The apartment is located in a charming historic building surrounded by 4- and 5-star hotels, so the location is excellent. Despite being in the city center, it’s very quiet inside, ensuring a restful stay. The host was incredibly attentive and caring, gave clear check-in instructions, stayed in touch throughout our visit, and even left us some lovely treats. Highly recommended!

  • Great location for three friends to explore Bologna – Caleigh from United States – 23 June 2025 (8/10)

    Easy to check in, good communication with host. Comfortable beds, clean. Good location about halfway between main square and train station. Street was under construction when we were there, but not a huge bother

    What could be improved: Nothing, there are stairs to the second bed that should considered if you have limited mobility

  • Exceptional – Kerry from United States – 21 June 2025 (10/10)

    We loved the balcony and small little sweets provided! Excellent location- close to the train station and to town

  • Exceptional – Bernice from Canada – 17 June 2025 (10/10)

    Communication: The host reached out to communicate with me before check in, and checked in with me during the stay.
    Check- in process: The check-in instruction was well written, included not only words but photos.
    Air conditioning: The A/C helped a lot as the temperature was 35 degrees during my stay in Bologna.
    Comfortable bed & pillows
    Cleanliness: The suite was meticulously clean.

    What could be improved: It would be ideal if there was a refrigerator in the suite.

  • Great location – Tempgirl from Australia – 10 June 2025 (8/10)

    Bologna Suites is located close to the train station which was very convenient for us. In addition, we were able to walk to other attractions. Perfect for a 3 night stay. The self-check in was seamless and the host was quick to answer any questions. Even though there were road works, it didn't bother us since we were out all day. The room was spacious with a well- equipped bathroom, except a small fridge would have been handy.

    What could be improved: –

  • Exceptional – Andrew from United States – 29 May 2025 (10/10)

    Great spot. Wonderful location. Easy detailed checkin instructions. Place was very clean and nice. Would definitely stay here again next time we are in bologna

  • Good stay! – Mariana from Netherlands – 27 May 2025 (9/10)

    Our stay was very comfortable! The room was spacious and clean, and we appreciated the complimentary snacks provided for breakfast. Self check-in was very smooth—the instructions sent by the host were clear and worked perfectly! The building has a lift, which was very helpful with our luggage. The location is also great, halfway between the train station and the main square, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby.

    What could be improved: While the host was always responsive, communication could have been a bit more prompt at times. Also, it’s possible to leave your luggage after check-out, but only until 3pm and the storage area is the building’s parking spot—so it’s a good idea to make sure all bags are locked for extra security.

  • Great location, clean and great apartment and very nice owner – Andreea from Romania – 20 May 2025 (9/10)

    The apartment is very comfortable, clean, spacious and has a great location. It is very central, close to everything by foot ☺️
    The suites also offer parking. There was a small misunderstanding regarding the parking, it was probably not the owners fault and we did not find a free space in the location, however Antonio promptly helped and recommended another parking nearby.
    Also, Antonio recommended to have coffee and pastries in the morning at the hotels cafe across the street and it was top delicious!

    What could be improved: It is not a problem of the location or owner, the only downside was that there is a lot of construction in progress in the entire central area, on the streets and they started very early at 7AM.

  • We had a great stay and would recommend this place – Edward from United States – 19 May 2025 (10/10)

    Location. Location. Large room and very quiet. Nice parking spot.

    What could be improved: You definitely need What's app to communicate with the property manager.

  • 3 days. I would stay again! – Vincent from United States – 14 May 2025 (9/10)

    Location was close to both the city center and the train station. Made for easy commutes and back and forth to different destinations!

    What could be improved: They were replacing some roads just outside the stay and it was quite noisy, but that’s temporary and incidental. Other than that, the stay was excellent!
