Top Basilica of St. Francis Hotel Reviews

Art Hotel Commercianti

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay. Fantastic location."

Royal Hotel Carlton

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very stately inside and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms are a little older - there was dirt around the AC duct and staining on the wall below. The room was quite warm and the thermostat was locked down so we couldn’t turn on the AC. We did pop the windows , so in the end we had a comfy sleep :)."

The Social Hub Bologna

10/10 Excellent

"Great, modern place. Reasonable price. Great concept for groups and individuals. The bed was super comfortable and while didn’t have time to use the laundry facilities, we were really glad to know they were available. A few blocks from the train station and a nice walk into city center."

Hotel Corona d'Oro

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel and staff where polite and helpful"

Hotel Roma

10/10 Excellent

"The room was of excellent design & kept clean. Staff was helpful upon request. Breakfast was of good variety and convenient."

Hotel Metropolitan

8/10 Good

"I had a good stay. What I loved about the hotel is the brilliant design. Although the hotel is located right in heart of town, actual rooms are more interior and towards the back away from Main Street. In addition on the back, the immediate outward area is the bathroom and shower. As result main sleeping area is in middle and extremely quiet. Further window shutters are very high quality metal plates which make the room very dark as night sky. So you will have ultimate comfort for your sleep. Staff also were very kind and eager to help anyways they could. One downside issue was the breakfast area, it is extremely small and cramped and people often run to each other. They have an outdoor area behind breakfast room which is open space, I recommend them to cover it and then remove the sliding glass doors to make it one giant breakfast area. Otherwise you would love staying there, it is very centrally located with so many shops around and near all attractions."

Hotel Palace Bologna Centro

8/10 Good

"The hotel was clearly a palazzo, retaining some grand and elegant reception rooms in which to sit. The staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfast was good and varied (juice, hot drinks, fruit, cereal, bacon, eggs, meats, cheese and varied pastries). I chose a very well priced en-suite Basic single room for 1 night. It was quiet, clean, well furnished with a comfortable bed, crisp clean sheets and towels. Whilst that level of room is not luxurious, you could stay in that room for a couple of nights or more at a very good rate."

Art Hotel Orologio

10/10 Excellent

"Location, location, location. Clean, comfortable, all the amenities we needed. Great breakfast"

Hotel Re Enzo

10/10 Excellent

"Thank you"
