We stayed for four nights at the hotel for my wife's birthday. It is in a wonderful location and couldn't be more central, just off the Piazza Maggiore. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the breakfasts were great with some really excellent flavours. The room, whilst not over-large (the hotel is in a medieval building) was very clean...

Stayed for 2 nights in August at the end of our Honeymoon. We had originally booked a room in the Art Hotel Novacento but were relocated to the nearby Commercianti due to renovation work at the Novacento, which was closed at the time. No problem with this, the move was professionally handled by the hotel and we were given plenty... More

This old and charming hotel near in the old parts of Bologna makes this hotel a good start to discover the historic parts of town. A friendly welcome together with a quite atmosphere made this trip a pleasant memory especially since the room hade a little terrace.

we had a wonderful 3 days in bologna at the art hotel. the staff were friendly and helpful. the rooms are very comfortable especially if you get a room with a terrace. the breakfast is excellent. i wouldn't stay anywhere else

You can't beat the location, a few steps from Piazza Maggiore, and the hotel is really pleasant. It's in a nice ancient building, where I got a big room even if I was on my own, with a very nice bathroom with all the right amenities and a comfortable bed. The lift could do with a renovation, but this was... More

Very good hotel, but not new. Rooms wide and well equipped and nice art collectible in the lobby and other common parts of the Hotel. The most difficult thing was to get the Hotel as it's in a small street right long side the San Petronio Cathedral and if you don't have a navigation system you could make some rounds... More

We were very lucky when arriving at the Commercianti to be upgraded and enjoy a beautiful large room. The bed was a little too soft for us, but the staff were happy to rectify this (by taking off the huge amount of padding). Overall, the room was lovely, the breakfasts were plentiful and we enjoyed our Bologna stay very much.... More

Arrived early but they had a room ready for us, unfortunately this room was not what one expect when booked a "superior" as it looked worn and facing a inner courtyard... Went to the reception and they changed to a room in the third floor more similar to the website photo. The problems were about to begin... LIKED - Location... More

Spent 5 great nights at this hotel and loved every minute of it. We had a Double Deluxe room (ask for room 312) with a HUGE terrace overlooking the Basilica di San Petronia (largest in Bologna), and I do mean overlooking it as this great church was no more than 20 feet away from us. At night after returning from... More
