The rooms were large, clean, and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was also very good. Essentially, this hotel was a good value for money budget hotel with a fantastic location - right in the heart of Bologna with easy access from the airport (about 2 mins from the aerobus stop).

Albergo Centrale is an excellent hotel in the heart of Bologna, just a few blocks west of Piazza Maggiore. A classically handsome, centuries-old facade and a modern, tastefully appointed interior, with spacious rooms (or, at least ours was) provided a welcome three-day stay for us. Although the street, via Ugo Bassi, was a bit noisy, we had a panoramic view... more

An excellent choice in Bologna. For 70 Euros we got a spacious double room with breakfast and free WiFi, in a totally renovated, upscale hotel that has the feel of a boutique hotel. It is 2 mins from the heart of Bologna, but 10 mins by taxi from the train station. Staff and service were excellent. Would stay here agin... more

I stayed at the Centrale for five days on two occasions in April. The first time the room was OK, clean and functional. The rate dropped after I booked and they honored the lower rate. On my return two weeks later I was given room 18, larger and with a view. It was a tremendous value. The breakfast was probably... more

We paid ~$120/night, and we felt it was overpriced for what you’re getting. The location is great (very nearby Piazza Maggiore), but the room is very plain. Breakfast is really excellent! I would have had no complaints if we paid something more like ~$100/night. more

A really great find. Super clean, good breakfast, and well informed friendly staff. For a big city hotel it has small city hospitality and very helpful staff. more

We have been going to Albergo Centrale for years and always look forward to the warm, friendly greeting from Werter and his staff. We have seen many changes over the past 10 years including the replacement of the rickety, iron gated elevator, new furniture and more options for breakfast , but it always feels good to be back. We could... more

Great central location, spacious and well maintained room. Nothing fancy, but entirely pleasant and really a deal considering it was much less expensive than comparably located hotels. When we first arrived we thought our room had no natural light, then we figured out how to raise the external shade and it was fine! Some of the staff speaks English well,... more

Have just returned from a multi-centre holiday in Italy which started in Bologna, followed by Venice and Tuscany. Bologna was a pleasant surprise and the location of the Hotel Centrale was excellent - close to the main square and handy for the station and all the main sightseeing attractions. The room we had was a good size, basic but clean;... more
