Hotel Cavour offers refined interiors, including exposed beam ceilings, Vietri ceramics, and marble mosaics, set in a historic building near Piazza Maggiore. The 38 air-conditioned rooms come with free Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, and private bathrooms with showers, while some feature views of Bologna's rooftops and towers. A buffet breakfast is served daily, and the hotel is well connected to Guglielmo Marconi Airport via the BLQ shuttle. Located 600 meters from the Two Towers and close to the university district, Hotel Cavour provides easy access to landmarks like the Basilica of San Petronio and the Fountain of Neptune.

Multiple room categories (Standard, Superior, Deluxe, Suite) cater to different preferences.

The location proved advantageous. I easily accessed main attractions. the breakfast buffet included fresh pastries and a decent selection of cheeses. i appreciated the spaciousness of the quadruple room (it easily accommodated our group). i also found the staff responsive to requests. They promptly addressed a minor issue with the room's lighting.

the room was quite spacious! there was also a generous wardrobe area, i was quite happy about that. the breakfast room offered plenty of variety, too. i really appreciated the selection.
the front desk staff weren't very friendly, disappointing. i also found that the air conditioner was badly placed and high up. it did not cool the room effectively unless i closed the bathroom door which blocked the air vents.

The location was great! It was a short walk from the train station. The hotel was also very clean. Common areas were well-kept. the staff was helpful and friendly. They quickly answered all our questions.
The air conditioning did not work well. The room became very hot. It was difficult to stay inside for a longer time because of the heat. I had a terrible night.
