I stayed here for three glorious nights - our first visit to Bologna. There are very few hotel in the very heart of the city, so this property was ideal, just a 15min walk past heaps of restaurants, cafes and shops until you reach the city square. The staff bent over backwards to help us to enjoy the hotel and... More

We stayed in this beautiful hotel for 2 nights in May, 2012. Our room was spacious, clean and extremely luxurious. The lobby of the hotel was absolutely amazing. However, the element which made this small, boutique hotel truly special was the staff. They were extremely helpful in making dinner suggestions and reservations for us as well as advising us as...

My wife and I and another couple of our friends stayed at Il Convento from 5 - 8 May 2012. We had a very enjoyable stay and found that the staff (particularly Laura and Serena) were most helpful and friendly. The double room that we had booked was replaced with a junior suite at no extra charge on our arrival... More

We stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time. The hotel is positioned in a lovely part of Bolgna and is about 10 minutes walk to the centre, so really close. The staff on reception were so helpful and friendly, they really made our stay there what it was. They were always there to help with any question... More

This is a very cute place to stay, away from the hustle and bustle of the Centre of Bologna. The bedroom was simple but lovely. There were large doors to open and shutters to close off in the evening. The bathroom was very cool :) Everywhere was easily accessible by foot. Do the Red Bus Tour as it gives you... More

If you don't have a car, this would be a good place to stay. This hotel is a restored convent about 1500m from the main part of town. We stayed for three nights in a/the junior suite - which was not exactly a suite, but it was a reasonably big room with a sofa and a TV. The windows opened... More

Maybe it's a matter of taste, but, for me, the modern styling of the old building misses the mark. The gimmicky modern lighting, for example, was not sympathetic. Many of the bulbs were missing or didn't work giving a gloomy and neglected air. We paid as much for our room as we did recently for s 5star Mayfair hotel and... More

This truly ancient edifice (originally a medieval convent) has been turned into an ultra modern, comfortable hotel. It is a perfect study in contrasts -- Brunelleschi meets Benigni. Incredibly intimate but also very private. The staff is outstanding, lead by Laura, who will cater to your every whim and seems to anticipate every need. They are all so accommodating without...
