Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Palace Bologna Centro enjoys a fantastic location in the heart of Bologna, perfect for exploring the Quadrilatero district and other attractions within walking distance, with breakfast spots conveniently located right across the street. Set in a quaint 1700s building with high ceilings, some guests have found the decor a bit outdated. However, many appreciate the spacious suite rooms, some of which offer wonderful views of the city from the skylight. With its great value, it's easy to see why guests appreciate its proximity to fabulous restaurants, supermarkets, and even a gelato shop just steps away.

adequate stay near city center

central location friendly staff decent room size dark room cinema noise dated decor

The location was central. It made exploring very easy! the staff were friendly and efficient at check-in, a real plus after a long journey. the room was a decent size and suited my needs well.

my room faced an inner courtyard, so it felt a little dark during the day. also, i could hear some noise from a nearby cinema until late which was annoying. the room decor felt quite dated, needing an update.
