Compare 5 airports near Bologna
For most travelers, Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ) is the only choice located within the city of Bologna, offering by far the most convenient and fastest access to the city center. It is ideal for those prioritizing speed and seamless arrival. The remaining four airports serve NEIGHBORING cities and are not in Bologna. Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) serves the city of Venice and is a major international gateway, often chosen by international travelers for better flight connectivity, though it requires a train transfer via Venezia Mestre to reach Bologna. Treviso Airport (TSF) also serves the Venice area and is typically used for budget-conscious passengers flying via low-cost carriers. Milan Linate Airport (LIN) and Il Caravaggio International Airport (BGY) are located in the Milan/Bergamo region; they are significant distances away and should only be considered if flight options or pricing at the Bologna airport are unsuitable. Choose your hub based on your travel origin and local train access.

Bologna|3.83km from city center
The room is clean and hygienic, the layout is very good, the breakfast is rich
But there is no iron in the room
I went to eat at breakfast time, and the room was cleaned even though Do Not Disturb was turned on. When I came back from breakfast, I was dumbfounded. Of course, I don’t have any valuables, but I don’t think it’s enough to respect the wishes of customers
Check out on the last day, close to 12 o'clock, the cleaning staff can't wait to clean, I was still replying to the email, and the door was broken into, and then I left in a hurryFromUS$71

We called reception for the coffee in our room to be replaced with tea bags waited for an hour no one came
Went down to reception myself and asked what was happening as it would not take as long if I went to the restaurant
I was rudely spoken to by a woman and told it will come to my room I tried to explain it’s been an hour she was not prepared to help and to my horror it never came I had also offered to pay tooFromUS$71

Bologna Fiere District Bologna|1.62km from city center
We stayed here as our main hotel while travelling to other cities, and it was such a great choice. The hotel is really close to the train station, which made everything so convenient for our family.
From the outside and entrance, it may not look very special at first, but once you walk inside, the atmosphere feels warm, cosy, and welcoming. The staff were all very kind and friendly, and they made us feel comfortable during our stay.
The room was very clean, the bed was soft and comfortable, and the bathroom was excellent especially the shower with strong water pressure, which we really loved after a long day of travelling. The TV was big, and there was also a fridge in the room, which was very useful.
Breakfast was not huge, but there was still plenty of choice and enough to enjoy a full meal every morning.
Everything about this hotel felt perfect for us. We all really liked this hotel very much, and if possible, I would definitely love to stay here again in the future.FromUS$57

Excellent hotel with 2 flaws:
1) The location area is not the best, but it can be accepted since I know Bologna well, but not the area of the hotel.
2) When it came to paying the tourist tax at Check Out they asked me again for the balance of the stay, when in reality I had already paid everything at the time of bookingFromUS$74

Bologna City Center Bologna|1.15km from city center
Great location - the hotel is just opposite the Bologna train station.
The staff is friendly.
My stay came with free breakfast. I did not eat, but I enjoyed the cappuccino.
Complimentary drinking water.
The room is dated. Many of the power points are damaged.
The shower area is very open, the dry area will be very wet after a shower. You have to be careful not to slip and fall.
My room was stuffy. I had to call the front desk. The staff was able to make some adjustments remotely and things improved slightly. I had to sleep without the blanket.
There is a safe in the room. Very useful for valuables. But the operating it was clunky.FromUS$101

I stayed in both mercue bologna and this hotel, so can make a more fair comparison.
1) if you are a sound sensitive sleeper, please NEVER stay in the hotel facing the train station side. You can hear the train!! I requested a room facing the opposite site, Mercure gave me a quiet backyard one, but Starhotel didn’t.
2) if you are a Accor member, you’ll get minibar free at Mercue! However, there’s even not a bottle of water provided at Starhotel….
3) if you choose breakfast included, mercue provides a very decent one with various fresh fruits! However, Starhotel one can make you feel depressed after two days… and I even have to skip the last one because the line looks like taking at least an hour to even get in….
4) in short, mercue is better, and I don’t know why it gets a very low rating at Google, and I will never come back to this hotel.FromUS$92

Bologna City Center Bologna|1.12km from city center
I guess it all depends on expectations - I booked it because it had really good recent reviews at the time but I was disappointed with the experience. The rooms look like they have been relatively recently renovated but because everything in the rooms is cheap and basic and there are marks and stains on the walls they appear tired. The style is basic functional so you should not expect much in terms of comfort or coziness. The hotel is poorly ventilated so there is smell in corridors and in the rooms. I changed a room because there was additional smell coming from the bathroom.FromUS$91

Great location with great staff. The bell tolls every so often, but it is no bother. Shower is a tad bit tiny but bathroom is big. Lift is available but some rooms on level 2 has a few steps to conquer - do request a room that does not tackle this if you cannot lift your luggage for these few steps. One key per room, but key can be left at reception. We had 4 rooms all up and they mananged to get us all on same floor & close by, as per our request. Again, all the staff are great. Check-in is 3pm, check-out is 11am.FromUS$88

The hotel's location is excellent, a stone's throw from Piazza Maggiore and via dell'Indipendenza (shopping street).

Good location. Paid (50€) extra to be in the main hotel and not their apartment somewhere nextdoor, not sure if it was worth it. It had a bit of a new spa feeling. All very new, think they are going for a boutique hotel style, but not classy. Nice terrace though.FromUS$132

We have only stayed one night and did not look out for all the facilities in the hotel. The room and bathroom was good and all that we needed was there. The pillows were a little too hard. Beds were good. Nice breakfast with a lot of veriety. Service was nice and professional.
The hotel is a little of the centre - but easy and nice walk of about 20-25 minutes.FromUS$97
