Bologna is just plain awesome. Too many people skip it, but there is so much to see and the food is great. The relatively new and modern Metropolitan Hotel may seem like a business hotel, but the service is great! They have a sweet relaxing vibe. We asked for a nice quiet room in the back and that's what we... More

last year, We booked three rooms for a family trip to Bologna, in July 2012 the manager, Claudio Salvatore was most helpful in making the reservation, and arranging for a car to collect us from the airport. Throughout the stay, service was friendly and efficient. The rooms were cosy, but well appointed and clean. The hotel is centrally located, but... More

The Metropolitan hotel is very well located; the rooms are very nice and attractively decorated. We had a firm, comfortable bed and access to 2 english speaking news channels on the televison. The bathroom and shower were enormous. There was a small balcony, too, which offered a view of a clothing store's glass-enclosed elevator (oh well - but handy for... More

We booked this hotel with the aim of making the most of our days and evenings out in Bologna. The hotel is in an excellent location, close to many of the sights. I looked at lots of hotels to stay and this one was the best price for it's location, the rest seem to be so expensive. It's your normal... More

I liked this hotel because it was well worth its modest price. Some hotels I stayed in had fancy pictures on the walls and square plates, but charged excessively for internet or breakfast. This one did not have all the thrills, but offered things important to me: -good location - right in the city center, close to train station, but... More

Arrived by the regular Aerobus shuttle from the airport (6 euros each) got off at Arena De Sole which is right opposite Via Dell' Orso. So transfer from bus to hotel 30 seconds! At weekends the stop moves a few streets away because of a city centre ban on traffic and what a good idea as the streets are transformed... More

A very nice stay. The apartment was luxury compared to other stays in this price range. Bologna is a party town so be prepared for sleep aids like white noise makers. The city council had yet to approve the use of ac. So, the place got a bit warm and the quite side street (it actually is a quit side... More

I stayed here in a triple room with two other girlfriends for a long weekend. Loved the city and restaurants. Took a train into Florence for the day - book in advance and save yourself a lot of money! Much preferred being based in Bologna with it's buzzy, lively atmosphere rather than touristy Florence - although don't pass up the... More

We stayed 7 nights in Hotel Metropolitan in Bologna. The staff were v friendly and had great English. The room was v nice and very clean and tidy. Great shower(v important to this traveller) and the windows opened back fully to reveal the side street outside the front entrance where the hustle and bustle was almost constant but not intrusive....
