What guests say

Reviews highlight the friendliness and helpfulness of the hosts and the excellent cleanliness throughout the property. The convenient location close to the station and city center is often mentioned as a plus. Rooms are described as comfortable, well-equipped, and bright, with Wi-Fi and kitchen access appreciated by many guests. While the building is a bit old and the bathroom is shared, these factors did not detract from the overall positive experience. The guesthouse offers good value for money and is recommended for both business and leisure stays in Bologna.

The structure is a bit old, the elevator is used only for luggage, but the apartment is cozy and very clean, the owners are helpful. Good price and location near the station.

The answer from the host:
Grazie mille Katiuscia del tuo prezioso feedback! Ci teniamo a precisare che l'ascensore è assolutamente a disposizione degli ospiti, non solo per le valigie, tra le chiavi consegnate è infatti presente quella che lo fa funzionare, disponibile in qualsiasi momento (non lo hai potuto utilizzare all'arrivo poiché hai dovuto prima ritirare le chiavi al piano, avendo usufruito del self check-in). È soltanto un po' lento, soluzione più adatta al palazzo in cui ci troviamo, che è storico e tutelato. Un caro saluto, grazie ancora!

Grazie Mario per la bella recensione! Ci ha fatto molto piacere ospitarvi e non vediamo l'ora di riavervi con noi l'anno prossimo! Ci spiace che la colazione gratuita, che comprende frutta fresca, pane, cereali, fette biscottate, nutella, marmellata, miele, plumcake, latte vegetale e vaccino, succo di frutta, tea e caffè non vi abbia pienamente soddisfatto. Un abbraccio da Bologna ed alla prossima!

I stopped for just one night and felt at ease. The owners are two exquisite, friendly, and kind people. The B&B is located in an excellent position. The apartment is well-kept in every detail, everything is clean, spacious and bright rooms with TV and internet connection. Kitchen available for breakfast, with a space for pets, which is very important for me because I always bring my inseparable cat Selvaggia with me. I can honestly say that the next time I return to Bologna, I already know where to go.

Grazie della tua bella recensione Salvatore! Siamo contentissimi di sapere che tu e Selvaggia vi siate trovati bene. Sappiamo quanto sia importante poter viaggiare in compagnia dei nostri cuccioli e siamo felici di sapere che anche voi abbiate potuto apprezzare il nostro modo di fare ospitalità. Siete sempre i benvenuti. Alla prossima :)

Everything is so extremely friendly, you feel at home as soon as you enter! The courtesy and friendliness of Nello, Mary, and Eto make this bed and breakfast the best in Bologna, so much so that this was my second stay! I will definitely return! Almost everything is smart, even the light switches, which for a curious person like me, make a difference! Absolutely recommended.

Two nights at Bologna Homestay were a lovely experience: very friendly and helpful hosts, super clean and well kept apartment with personal and individually decorated rooms. The B&B is located on the third floor (there is an elevator that can be used with one of the provided keys) of a traditional Bologna building in a residential area. It is about a 15 minute walk from the main station or just a few minutes by bus. The bus stops to and from the station as well as the historic centre are located almost in front of the house. A great place to eat (Snoopy's) is just down the street and offers wonderful seafood dishes or other Italian cuisine. MariAnna, AntoNello, and I spent the first evening there, enjoying food and chatting along. I would recommend this "home away from home" and after staying there I feel like I found friends in Mari and Nello.

I stayed for two nights for work, chosen for the location (10 minutes on foot to reach the Fair) and for the possibility of parking under the house (subscription for one day 7.50 euros). The station is also a 20-minute walk away. An old but well-kept building, the B&B is an apartment with three bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom, which is therefore shared, something that has never scared me, for a very simple reason: if the manager is serious (and they are very serious) they keep it clean and above all, anyone who accepts the shared bathroom knows the rule: use it as if it were yours. Therefore, no problem. For the rest, nothing is missing, Antonio and Marianna have thought of everything regarding supplies. During my short stay, I only met Marianna for a few minutes, but I appreciated her extraordinary kindness and perfect English (while speaking with another customer), which is not common. Furthermore, she has a Japanese availability: you almost hesitate to ask for fear of upsetting her if she cannot fulfill the request. For breakfast, I could also give it ten because in reality, nothing is missing: I gave it nine because I am very demanding on the subject, and as a cherry on top, I would have added the availability of fresh pastries and eggs and ham or bacon (which I believe were not available, although if one wants, they can buy them and make them themselves without problems). Well done, I will definitely return next year.

I was at a course in the center of Bologna, the location I found it excellent because in the center the parking is unfindable. Clean place, cozy room and comfortable and warm bed. Very nice and kind owner. If I have to find a single flaw, the shared bathroom, even if it didn't bother me. I enjoyed it very much.

The owners are hospitable and really very kind. And cleanliness (fundamental) is impeccable. A truly positive experience, surely if we return to Bologna, we will return to Bologna Homestay.

I didn't expect it, everything was perfect. Nello was extremely friendly and above all available for everything. The room was very clean, with a shared bathroom that was still large and clean. For breakfast, there was a bit of everything. The property is a stone's throw from the station, you can get there in 10 minutes. I am really satisfied to have chosen Homestay and will definitely return.

It is a well located accommodation 15 minutes walk from the train and bus station. We also walked to the city center. Clean, with spacious rooms and comfortable bed. It has a kitchen, WiFi and TV. Quite complete breakfast included. On a street where there are numerous restaurants to choose from (Chinese, Japanese, African, Italian, etc.). We felt at home. The bathroom is shared but, as there are only 3 rooms, it has not caused us any problems, it was always available. In addition, Mari and Nello are lovely. We will return without any problem next time...
