Hotel suggestions for Bologna, Please!!
 

Well, now what do we do? We are going to be in Bologna next May for 6 nights. We have just made reservations at the Hotel Paradise which got quite nice reviews on Slow Travel Trip Report. After noting on this website that I had made a reservation at Hotel Paradise, I received a SCATHING review from a Fodorite and now I am nervous. I know that everyone won't be as pleased as others with the same hotel, but this report was horrible.

Please add your experiences and/or suggestions for other lodging. Thank you -

Pam, All I can suggest is to check out the reviews of Hotel Paradise on tripadvisor.com. They are all basically 4 or 5 stars. Our experience was not what the other poster said. I wouldn't call HP in any way a luxury hotel, but our experience was fine. They did warn us that staying in an apartment as opposed to a regular hotel room, we would only get maid service three times a week. But we could get clean towels whenever we wanted.

Suggestions, anyone? PLEASE!!

Thank you -

Good afternoon we have used two hotels on our two visits into Bologna
the first was the HOTEL ROMA, Via Massimo d'Azeglio, 9, a 3 star with 84 rooms, (www.hotelroma.biz.) located about a 1/2 block from the Pza Maggiore
and the second was the HOTEL AL CAPPELLO RUSSO, via de Fusari, 9 located
just out of the rear of the Roma..and
is 4 star with 31 rooms, however more modern in design, thought theRoma was the best of the two and had a fairly good dining room. Restaurants nearby
are the Tratoria Da Adolfo, Corte Galluzzzi, 7 about 1/4 block up from the Roma and the LA MELA via de Fusary, 5 just a few doors down....

Hotel Paradise put us up in a top floor apartment across the street from the actual hotel. We had to lug luggage about 2 flights of stairs, the room was very large and clean with great views over the rooftops, a large bath, great breakfast, and very good location which is a block or two off the main street. Don't know about the other rooms, but this was an excellent stay for us--not a 4 star, but decent.
