I had a very pleasant stay, perhaps my best solo travel hotel experience. Extremely clean and well organized room, the location is very convenient - close to the central station and not too far on foot from the historical centre. I had to check in quite late but the host was still very welcoming and guided me step by step. Bathroom is in perfect condition with great water pressure, has soap and shampoo dispensers. Very charming place. I didn't book breakfast, so I can't say anything about it.

Very nice host, very clean, convenient and cozy. Great coffee and more in 2 minutes by foot and on the way to the station. 12 minutes to Bologna Centrale station. Close to the city center. There is a small vent which could be uncomfortable for people with sleeping problems, but is actually quite a fresh and healthy idea.

First impressions were undecided with the cash-only payment through the wall and phone contact only. However, on speaking with the host, the instructions were very clear and polite. The room was clean and of reasonable size with a small wardrobe in the bathroom if needed, and a good eating bench in the room. The light breakfast consisted of only a croissant and coffee, but they were freshly made daily and delicious, no juice provided. A big hint if arriving by train is to go to the south exit closest to platform 11 and up a level to exit. The street is then right there. This is excellent for other train trips required during your stay. Fresh fruit available at the market just down the street.

Non abbiamo mai visto l'host. All communication was via a Wi-Fi call at the entrance. The fee of 160 euros plus 12 euros was paid in cash through a hole in the wall. No cash, no entry. This was conveyed only via email in Italian the day before. \nNo water in the room. No facility to make tea or coffee in the building. Very mean. Not good.

My boyfriend and I stayed at B&B Hope for one night and it was perfect! The host was extremely kind and helpful, the room was very clean and the beds were wonderful. The location was great for us since we arrived and departed from Bologna Centrale and not too far from the city center at all. The price was very reasonable. 10/10, We would highly recommend this bed & breakfast to anyone looking to enjoy Bologna!

I did not like it. Cold, poor lighting, dangerous neighborhood.

stayed from 01/16/2025 to 01/17/2025

The answer from the host:
Sono molto dispiaciuto sapere che il soggiorno non l'ha soddisfatta. In camera è possibile impostare la temperatura fino a 25 gradi in modo autonomo, l'illuminazione non mi risulta assolutamente insufficiente, il quartiere non è per nulla pericoloso.

Uncomfortable check-in.

stayed from 06/12/2025 to 06/15/2025

The answer from the host:
In realtà il check-in è apprezzato proprio per la comodità, può essere fatto in qualsiasi momento ed è velocissimo.

giuseppina

We were welcomed after 10 PM with an extra charge. Invisible manager and minimal breakfast. For the same price, go to a hotel instead!

stayed from 06/11/2025 to 06/12/2025

The answer from the host:
Come chiaramente indicato il check-in chiude alle ore 22, 00; dopo le 22, 00 si aggiunge un sovrapprezzo di €10. La sua brutta recensione nasce dal mio rifiuto di scontarle la tassa di soggiorno a fronte di un pagamento senza ricevuta. Il check out è alle ore 11: 00; è importante rispettare questo orario perché ci permette di preparare la camera per i nuovi clienti, lei nonostante i ripetuti avvisi ha liberato la camera alle ore 12: 30. Lei è una persona non corretta preferiamo non averla più come ospite.

Property: 6 | Cleaning: 6 | Host: 6 | Location: 7 | Price/Quality: 5

Average rating sufficient. Standard and Spartan structure. The only convenience was the proximity to the station. Noteworthy is the annoying presence of the cleaning lady, I believe, as she did not identify herself. On the first day of my stay, she knocked on the door while I was resting. Also, on the day of departure, she knocked at 10:40 saying we had to leave the room by 11. Anyway, the apartment is quite noisy, evidently the ground floor is not the best.

stayed from 06/07/2025 to 06/09/2025

The answer from the host:
La ringrazio per la recensione e mi dispiace non essere riuscito a soddisfarla pienamente, la persona che deve fare le pulizie non può far altro che bussare prima di entrare, se lei non voleva essere disturbato per le pulizie me lo poteva segnalare al check-in o con un messaggio.

Property: 6 | Cleaning: 6 | Host: 5 | Location: 6 | Price/Quality: 4

My room was on the first floor, so it was quite noisy at night. The host was very kind and helpful, but I didn't see him in person because of the automatic check-in. The place was quite well-equipped, but without breakfast.

stayed from 06/05/2025 to 06/07/2025

I booked 4 nights in this B&B for a short vacation in Bologna, and I must say that I felt very well. The place is quite quiet, without noise or anything else, five minutes from the station and 20 minutes from the center going through Via Indipendenza. The rooms were simple, clean, and welcoming, just like in the photos. I was informed that the electricity is produced by the B&B's photovoltaic panels, which I appreciated. For the price paid, I am extremely satisfied and highly recommend it. The owner is very helpful and performs all check-in procedures quickly and automatically.

No water in the room, no breakfast at 8:00.

stayed from 02/24/2025 to 02/25/2025

The answer from the host:
Forse intende dire che non c'era acqua nel frigo? Il minibar è lasciato a disposizione ma non è riempito perchè purtroppo spesso i clienti consumavano TUTTO senza pagare. La colazione la serviamo dopo le ore 9, 00 come specificato in prenotazione.

I did not meet the manager, but the check-in at the facility guided by the manager himself via phone was simple. The room, although a bit dated, was sufficiently large, clean, and quiet. The cleaning lady was kind and professional. The neighborhood, convenient to the station, cannot be defined as a tourist area both for the poor cleanliness of the streets (not too different from other areas, unfortunately) and for the people who stay outside until late at night (this is also a common problem in the less frequented areas of the city).

Property: 6 | Cleaning: 6 | Host: 6 | Location: 2 | Price/Quality: 3

Rather run-down structure. Area, the Bolognina, very neglected, like all of Bologna. Unsatisfactory value for money. City in general chaotic, very dirty and expensive compared to the (few) services it offers... If it's not for the artistic part it has, it's absolutely not worth coming. Tourist tax, absolutely out of line with the city it is (4.20 euros per day per person).

stayed from 04/26/2024 to 04/29/2024

B&B Hope nice and essential near the central station. Clean, spacious room equipped with everything you need. Heating ok. Poor soundproofing, but little disturbance due to the low-traffic street. Interesting automatic check-in mode, could be improved with contactless payment or via PayPal/Satispay. Clear and punctual owner. More than fair price.

stayed from 03/01/2024 to 03/03/2024

We stayed at this property for two nights, great location as it is close to the train station. A few steps from the bus stop. Breakfast, if included, is taken care of by the owner, delivering it directly to the room after agreeing on the time and what you would like to receive. Excellent organization during check-in. Semi self, followed step by step by the owner. Kind, organized, and very helpful owners. The owner's wife took care of us in the morning by delivering breakfast, always kind and helpful. We will definitely return.

I expected a bit better, considering the price. Last year, I stayed at a beautiful hotel in Bologna for only €150, and breakfast was included. That's why I paid €170.

stayed from 07/21/2023 to 07/23/2023

The answer from the host:
Mi scusi ma mi chiedo e le chiedo perché allora non ha prenotato nel vecchio Hotel? Le rispondo io: perché quest'anno nella data che lei ha soggiornato c'era una fiera internazionale e un concerto e di conseguenza tutte le tariffe degli hotel erano molto più alte, il suo hotel chiedeva €300!

For the prices in Bologna it's definitely very good. The manager is truly exceptional, the night area a bit less.

Excellent location and price. But the duvet needs to be changed (lots of stains even after washing, it's a disaster for those like me who suffer from dust mites) and the electric heater is not sufficient to heat the large room. Saving money is fine but on the coldest and most humid days, it's not enough. I would gladly pay a few more euros to have a radiator heating system.

Perfect for a night in Bologna. 10 minutes walk from the train station, 2 minutes from the bus stop to get to the center. Kind and helpful owner. \nUnfortunately, we didn't have the opportunity to stay longer, but I'm sure we would have been further satisfied. \nI particularly appreciated the possibility to adjust the temperature in the room. \nWe didn't take advantage of the breakfast, simply to enjoy the beautiful day and eat in the center.
