Find hotels near Santo Stefano in Bologna, Italy

We booked in this B&B because of the good reviews that I read, however there were somethings that were different or not mentioned. First, it took us a few minutes to look for the location of Antica when the cab driver dropped us off. Signage was small and you have to look for it on huge door entrance of the building. The B&B is located at the 2nd floor beside the other residential or office rooms, you have to take a small lift to bring up your luggage. There are around 5 rooms, one dining area and photos look a lot better than actual. Based on picture, there’s an AC in the room but it was defective when we arrived and portable AC was placed instead. Very simple breakfast was served daily (bread, cheese, jam, yoghurt), no hot meals. Location is 10-15mins. Walk to Piazza Maggiore and it looks longer when you’re walking back at night since there are lesser people that you’ll come across, train station is a lot farther taking a cab is the best option. Others may find it okay but entering the dimly lit building up to the lift at night was a bit frightening for me specially when you’re alone, glad that we’re a couple! Moreover, would like to acknowledge Augustino for the good service such as referring good restaurants and for taxi reservation.

We have just returned from a short city break in Bologna and are really pleased that we chose to stay at Hotel Touring. The hotel is not too big and has a nice family-run feel to it. The staff were always very welcoming and willing to make restaurant reservations for us. The hotel itself was very clean and our rooms were modern and clean too. We stayed on the second floor in the city themed rooms, Tokyo and London. Breakfast was served in the basement and the food was plentiful and well presented. Piazza Maggiore was a short walk from the hotel and there were restaurants and shops within a stones throw of the hotel too. I would stay here again!

Hosts Andrea and Francesca couldn't have been lovelier and more welcoming over the two days we spent at their B&B. They are very attentive and are keen to help in any way that may arise. The room (we had number two) was lovely with a big, comfy bed, spacious bathroom and blinds that completely block out any light at night/morning. The breakfast is a large spread and yes, the cakes are wonderful. We had a brilliant stay there and would happily return. We can't recommend it enough.
