About
Hotel Bologna
Hotel Bologna is a modest 22-room property on Via Orcagna, in a residential pocket of Florence. It sits about 20 minutes on foot from the Arno and the city’s main sights, which repeats across guest reviews. The building has no grand facade, but the welcome is consistent: staff ratings at 9.2/10 are the hotel’s standout metric.
Rooms are simple but equipped with essentials—air conditioning, mini-bar, flat-screen TV, and free toiletries. The hotel’s breakfast, served buffet-style in the basement, earns repeated praise for variety and coffee quality. Parking on the street is available, which is rare so close to Florence’s limited-traffic zone.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities score low — With a 6.6/10 for facilities, the hotel lacks some modern amenities; rooms are described as basic but functional.
- Comfort rating below average — Comfort scores 7.5/10, suggesting some rooms may feel dated or less plush compared to other aspects.
- Location not central — A 20-30 minute walk from the main train station, and some guests note it's a bit far from main attractions.
- Possible noise or lack of quiet — While many guests praise the quiet, a few mention it's in a residential area, so some street noise may occur.
