Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The good: Very centrally located in Bologna. Perfect jumping off point for shopping & dining & sight seeing. Communication from hosts was good, and they let us store bags prior to check in, to ease our arrival stress.
The less good: This felt more like a hostel. Shared bathroom (but very clean & every thing worked well).
Better for young travelers than families, I would think.
Excellent position at the threshold of the impressive and walkable old city. Many eateries in general area. Old world charm with large rooms and modern bathrooms (but not ensuite)
This hotel was SO cute. We greatly enjoyed our stay. The front reception representatives were kind and helpful. The shared bathroom thing wasn't a big deal. Our room had 3 beds and a sink. When you leave the room, just around the corner was a shared bathroom, but it's large.
Cozy and clean hotel thats great for shorts stays. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Sharing bathrooms was not a problem as the hotel only has 9 rooms. Highly recommend!
This 'Inn" was not what we expected. The beds were similar to those found in a dorm room. The floors were creaky and uneven. The only way to lock the door was with the room key that opened it so we had to lock the door from the inside, which was odd. The room did not feel safe or clean and the pictures were deceiving. For $600/night, I expected much more.

The location of Albergo Panorama was excellent. It was easy to walk to Piazza Maggiore and had great restaurants nearby. Service was great- they were so helpful with transport assistance.
The only downside was no air con in our room on a very hot night
Otherwise, a great stay!
This is the cleanest place that I ever been. Spotless. The place is closed to all major tourist attractions, restaurants and shops. The staff very friendly. If I go back to Bologna will stay here again. Many thanks. 👍👍
Lisa and Jon Marco were so helpful and accommodating. They made me feel welcome and comfortable after 14 hours of traveling. I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I booked a room without a private bathroom, but there were three bathrooms shared between nine rooms and it wasn’t an issue at all. My room was really nice and thank you to the wonderful staff.

This is an interesting little property. It was previously a large family apartment, and it still looks that way, including the old Italian furniture. The rooms are very large, but know that you are always sharing a bathroom with at least 1 other room. Sinks are in each room, though. The best thing about this property is the location. It is right in the heart of historic Bologna, and easy walking distance to the sights and dining.
Great budget friendly hotel with plenty of character and brilliant location. We were given a lovely room on the second floor with vintage furniture. There was a fridge and tv in the room. The bathrooms were spotless and it was not a problem at all that they were shared. Staff were helpful and friendly. There was a coffee machine and kettle in a hallway area outside the room. A tray of croissants was left by there in the morning for guests to help them selves to. There was some traffic noises from the busy road outside but it wasn’t a problem for us. We would definitely stay again.

It is not a hotel or an albergo. It is a HOSTEL. You rent a room, most without ac and share 3 bathrooms down the hallway with everyone else. It is kept very clean.
Also NO FREE PARKING. It is in the TLZ and if you want the hotel to give you a pass they charge 9 euros a night (it costs 5 a night).
Also it's on the 4th floor.
We will never go back.
Great budget friendly hotel with plenty of character and brilliant location. We were given a lovely room on the second floor with vintage dark wood furniture. There was a fridge and tv in the room.

The lady at the front desk was very friendly and nice once we arrived and allowed us to store our luggage until the room was ready which was very convenient. However, later that evening when we returned from dinner the room felt quite stuffy and hot and we specifically booked this place because it mentioned air conditioning and a fan in the room. We asked the front desk staff how to operate the air conditioning unit in the room and the response we got was “it doesn’t work. there is no fan. open a window. theres no mosquitos in this area”. Well on a Saturday night it is VERY noisy in this area and with the window open it sounds like a parade/festival is happening right in the middle of the room, not to mention it is just as hot outside. So if you are someone who cannot sleep when it’s hot in the room like myself i’d look for another place to book.
