For my first Italy trip, I chose Albergo Rossini 1936.I am SO glad that I did! Bologna in Jan. was uncrowded, & the central area was open & easy to walk to.This boutique hotel is a gem in the city. It is very clean, the room was well-appointed, & the bed was comfortable. Hot shower, high enough for my 188cm height, perfect temp in the room even though it was cold out, a well-stocked minibar, & clean bidet. I received several handwritten notes and treats from mgmt & staff that made me feel very cared for. The breakfast included with my room was very well-prepared, with a generous number of varied choices & the service was excellent.The thing that impressed me above all else was the kindness & high level of service that I received from all of the staff, especially the front desk & the breakfast & bar. It was obvious that they were making every effort to make me feel welcome & valued. I really appreciate the interested conversations & offers for any help that I might need to accomplish my goals for the weekend. I ate VERY well & thoroughly enjoyed my trip!The hotel is located on a smaller street, very close to Piazza Verde, where the univ students love to congregate.I had no noise problems & the piazza made getting to the main downtown easy. There is graffiti in this area, but it isn't indicative of the safety.I walked unbothered, even late.All in all, I am happy to give the people & the hotel at Albergo Rossini 1936 my highest rating, & I can't wait to return with my wife!

The property is nice. The staff is friendly and helpful. The room (Aida) was very small. The description of parking is misleading. It says on your site: >>Self-parking on site- 20. >> Actually parking is off site (10-15 minutes drive in old city Bologna) and it's 24Eur per day.

Extremely pleasant experience! From the moment I was greeted by Adele, to the cleanliness and style of the room, everything was wonderful. The breakfast was delicious. The location is very central and the whole city is walkable from here. The handwritten notes are an extra, unexpected lovely touch. Would highly recommend!

Love the staff at this facility. Beds comfortable. Breakfast exceptional. However the immediate area around the facility is dirty and unkept. Parking limited. Accosted on walking downtown through the area around the Opera House. I felt secure inside…staffed 24/7, but unhoused people loitering outside wasn’t okay.

Great little hotel
Room was small but the personnel was outstanding. Anything you wished they would immediately take care of. Could not have been nicer or more accommodating! I definitely recommend. Central location near everything. Lively University area but hotel is on quiet street. Kudos to every single employee there! Fabulous breakfast.

As its name says, small and charming. Large bright room on a quiet side-street in the middle of a very lively student quarter. Friendly helpful front desk with Bruno. Fabulous breakfast, not just the usual 3 dry cookies one gets in Italy, but a large buffet of fruit, yoghurts, croissants and cakes and served egg and other dishes.

Nice place in the middle of university life
Location will let you see life outside tourist filled center. Service was good, the room was no frills but not bad with decent a/c. Breakfast was not the best in Bologna but still good. One would need luck with finding street parking and be careful to plan arrival.

Friendly and informal
I loved it. Very small and friendly and just around the corner from the famous towers. Breakfast good. The only thing I didn't like were the pillows - too hard; but, I finding that in my hotel in Florence, too, so perhaps that's what you get in Italy.

Nice centrally located and friendly
We had a nice stay. The hotel is very centrally located in the city center. I thought there was on site parking - and discovered that that meant street parking. There is un underground parking 10minutes walk away. The breakfast staff was especially efficient and cooked a delicious breakfast. The hotel decor is somewhat surprising and a little too diverse for my taste. Other than that warm, personnalisés welcome

going back shouldn't be a problem
It was OK. The room was clearly renovated. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Some of them rather new in the business but NP. Some details in the renovation where not done, no problem for the comfort but they where noticeable. The manager should look with a bit more detailed eye. The parking for the car is on the road, when your lucky it is near the hotel otherwise somewhere in the neighborhood, but this only for car voyagers. In general all OK, going back shouldn't be a problem.

Nice hotel. Very very friendly and service-mindet staff. Only little thing: a lot of noise from the street Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening/might from young people partying at the bar close by. And again from the street sweeper early in the morning.

We liked the room and the every day cleaning. The staff was always helpful and kind. The breakfast was delicious.The only disappointment was the package of sandwiches to take with on our final morning. We had an early flight so we couldn't have brakfast even though it was paid. I'm sure you could have done better than 2 slices of toast!

Detta hotell ligger i ett väldigt ruffigt område, kändes väldigt otryggt kvällstid. Finns inga ordentliga restauranger i området bara hak. Rekommenderar absolut INTE detta hotell för barnfamiljer! Hade jag vetat hur det låg och sett i recensioner att det låg i ett dåligt område hade jag aldrig bokat detta, tyvärr var rummet inte avbokningbart annars hade vi bytt hotell. Parkering på andra sidan stan, inte heller det smidigt! Själva rummen var ok rena och trevlig personal. Men bo inte här om ni vill ha en trevlig upplevelse utanför hotellet…
